Knallerfrauen (2012)

The German entry, and a showcase for Martina Hill on Sat.1. Hill plays the "Knallerfrau" of the title, a woman who takes everyday madness to its extreme: misusing the family pets, dancing far too enthusiastically in public, solving small problems in the worst possible way. The joke usually lies in the gap between her outlandish behavior and the ordinary people reacting around her. Sketches are short, so they work well as clips. It is broad, quick comedy with a sly domestic edge, and a good change of pace from the British and American shows here.
