Talk:Techno Viking

The man in the video from Raab in Gefahr never said he is Techno Viking in that video, that should be rephrased.-Koppapa (talk) 08:50, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

I deleted it. - Chrisahn (talk) 19:06, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

I replaced it with modifications based on what you say he says. I am at a disadvantage in being very hard of hearing so I can't hear what he says in the clip, but the YouTomb people say "old Viking" so I have noted the discrepancy. The Raab in Gefahr segment and the YouTomb coverage arising from it are part of the TechnoViking story and need to be in the article; so does the Schlepkopper rumor.

I am German, and I can tell that the man in the Raab video never says anything about 'Viking', he just calls himself 'alter Germane'. 'Schlepkopper' may sound German to someone who doesn't speak the language, but it is not a German name, the writer of the blog you referenced most likely made it up. All occurrences of the name on the Web are related to the Techno Viking. Lastly, while Encyclopedia Dramatica is a great place for such rumours, Wikipedia is not. - Chrisahn (talk) 13:51, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

I don't doubt the accuracy of what you hear; as I say, I am simply too deaf to understand a word they say. And yes, S(c)hlepkopper looks made up, and I found no RS supporting the notion. The thing is, both are part of the internet phenomenon. I have endeavoured to make the situation even clearer in the text, pointing out that Lefevre's is a blog entry, separating the two references regarding Raab in Gefahr and being even clearer that there is a discrepancy between what the YouTomb people say and what (you tell me and I believe you) the man in the video says. But both are part of the story. Yngvadottir (talk) 17:09, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

The Schlepkopper and Raab thingies are fabrications, and I don't think Wikipedia should condone such nonsense. ED is for the silly stuff, WP is for facts. I don't care enough to argue with you though, and since you obviously care a lot I'll let it stand. I may change my mind later, and if someone else deletes these parts again, I'll gladly support that. Otherwise, nice article and very civil discussion. Thanks! - Chrisahn (talk) 17:23, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

The man in the Stefan Raab video is quite clearly "Technoviking". Technoviking also spoke German in the original video and the other referenced guy, the American, admits not being to dance, nor speak German. Nor does he even look like the man. Also, "Alter Germane" would be Harry hinting at being Technoviking. It's quite obvious who is who here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.252.104.40 (talk) 02:39, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

You have a very subtle sense of humour. ;-) Chrisahn (talk) 15:06, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

The man in the Stefan Raab Video is Harald “the Freak” Seele aka Harry an older bodybuilder from Germany. See here . If he is Technoviking or not is unknown. But he is not this guy called "Schlepkopper". Full Raab video [1] Cyzoonic (talk) 13:31, 1 October 2011 (UTC)
