One of the worst films in Youtube-History (really this is a rip-off)
If there was one movie that seems like total commerce, this is absolutely it. A bunch of German Youtubers get together to make unfunny jokes and money. There where no laughters in the audience. This is no hate. Just a sincere review. If you want to do unfunny Youtube Videos release them to Youtube. If you payed money to see this, I am deeply sorry. I considered leaving the cinema but wanted to see the whole piece. Save your money and don't give it to greedy "Youtubers". The basic story is explained quickly. A loser called "Leo" tries to become the new hero of his school when a mysterious virus appears. Summary: Unfunny jokes, very weak story, bad acting from "youtubers". Absolutely not recommend.

IMDb we need a 0 rating
Really awful. Don't waste your time. Even if they give you money to watch it you will regret it and you will never take back that hours from your life. You will suffer and suffer. I prefer to go watching a horse race or ice skating rather then this fully rubbish movie. I could sit and do nothing and still I will be more happy than spend hours watching this thing. I mean who wrote this? Do they have a mind? Really? And how could you accept a role as a actor in such a ridiculous movie? Are you OK? Please tell me? Why did you do that to us? Why ?
I wrote this review and I'm still in pain because I've seen this movie . Seriously physically pain it hurts and I need healing asap.

Bad at its baddest
There are many comedy movies in Germany that are just plain awful, unfunny and unnecessary. And what can I say about this one ? Its plain awful, unfunny and unnecessary. The story is absurdly simple and offers no creativity or even some clever plot elements. Its predictable and just not funny. The characters are all stereotypes with unfunny catch phrases. Its an long Youtube sketch that is not worth your time or money. I mean when even the fans say that this is unfunny than it must mean something. The comedy is just so bad timed and uncreative it is out of this world.
Voting: 1/10 Really bad stuff I cant understand when someone would laugh about that.

Yotube goes movie. So cool, not!
To begin with there are plenty of Youtubers which produce great content, like TotalBiscuit, Jesse Cox, Gimmeaflakeman; Jim Sterling and many others and then there are the others, the cash grabbers like most of the German YT community. This movie is the sorry example of a cheaply made cash in on the temporary fame of German YouTubers, most of them not known to anyone older than 13. This movie is almost an exact copy of their YouTube content, an unfunny and uninspired succession of lame jokes and stupid pointless blathering. If you want to spend your time doing something meaningful go watch some paint dry or just watch out of the window at 3 a.m. Believe me, it's more fun than this steaming pile of horse dung!

Horrible
A flat plot line combined with bad acting and horrible jokes. This movie isn't even worth watching for free. If you pay money for it (like i did), i am very sorry, because there are 7 billion people who deserve these few euros more than the cast of this movie. Just sad that a serious production of movies could bring out such an awful movie. If there will ever be another Movie made by German Youtubers, i would not recommend to watch it (as i wouldn't with this one), because they can only produce lame jokes and boring stories. But the main audience will never see this review because they are all 12-14 (at least as i saw in the movie theatre, and they even thought the movie was good, but that is a fan boy/fan girl thing i suppose)

All whats wrong with German comedies....
... comes together in this movie. Is it down voted? Sure. This movie was made by some you-tubers and somehow got a lot of hate because of that. But it definitely earns its 1-star-ratings. Its a major stinker. Not one of the kinds like "The room", "Turkish star wars" and the likes were they fail because they barely know how to hold a camera. Germany has a long history of spitting out a lot of bad comedy movies even since the 1950ies or so. Maybe so because in this genre you can - and a lot of people did - earn some cash with mediocre stuff. Made by you-tubers or not, "Kartoffelsalat" steps right into that heritage. Its not even unintentionally offensive like other bad movies. Everything is in there: - jokes (and we talk of a lot of stuff here) which were already lame in the time of our grandmothers and at which only six-year-olds would laugh at. - washed up older comedians and actors like Otto Waalkes which don't even seem to notice what a shite movie they are entering because they sold their last integrity years ago. While the young ones are so deluded that they think those cameos make the movie "cooler" - the old Seltzer/Friedman-thing of senseless spoofing the hell out of what its in their little minds ("Breaking bad" here, for example). One German celebrity named Jenny Elvers even spoofs her own former problems with alcoholism, yay. - a premise that is so unoriginal that you barely can believe this is done by young guys and not some old studio hacks. The premise - Zombies in a school setting fighting against losers - was even already done like this in another German called "Die Nacht der lebenden Loser"/Night of the living dorks. That was a mediocre movie, but this geniuses here set the bar much lower - an all-around atrocious cast. We seen more famous you-tubers fail when they do a movie, same here. I did not even see a video of one of their channels, and maybe they are more bearable there. Especially the main actor is clowning around in a super annoying way.
Worst thing that happened to Germany, since Hitler
So before i want to start the actual review, i want to tell the readers of this review, that i'm from Germany and that my English is not perfect, so if you find any grammatical faults....I''m sorry :(
But nevertheless I'm going to review "Kartoffelsalat" now and let me say in advance, that if you already saw that movie and you are still somewhat sane... Congratulations for that.
Kartoffelsalat came out in 2015 and most of the cast, are German youtubers. If you don't know any German youtuber, you made some good decisions in life, because most of them are just bad.
The story is about an new guy at an school, who apparently is an loser. He struggles, with finding friends and starts loving an Girl, which already has an boyfriend. The typical story of an movie, that is set in an school. Shorty after that, there's an zombie outbreak at the school, which turns a lot of the students into zombies. (They really had to drag zombies into this, didn't they?)
If you watch the movie whole, you will notice that you probably didn't even laugh once, which is not surprising, because all the jokes, that they use are just bad and so weak, that even using them is extremely embarrassing. The only human beings, that will maybe laugh by watching this movie are children, who see their favorite youtubers in an movie.
As an example. My brother (11) likes this movie, because youtubers he is currently liking, are in this movie. The bad thing about the German YouTube scene is, that most of the popular German youtubers, are only popular, because of the young fans they have. This doesn't need to be an bad thing, but most of them youtubers, are just bad examples of adults.
But let's come back to the movie.
The good things about the movie are: the length....it's only 81 minutes long :)
The bad things are:
As for an ending, i would like to say, that you all should invest your time otherwise. There are a lot of other options, like playing an video game, do some extra hours at work, make an own movie (which would probably be better than this one.)
Just do anything, but don't watch that movie.

- everything (beside of the length, the movie has nothing going for it)

They forgot the greatest of all...
Drachenlord the famous German TV star is not included in this c- movie. the only persons are shown are weird and fake people that were not funny at all.
don't watch this movie, you need a bucket for your outcomes. one for poop and one for pee, cause you cant hold in your juices when you watch this.
Meddl would be my last word, but this site want a review with at least 10 lines of words, so i guess i will fill the rest with some random stuff.
my best friends are the Affen Jungs or formerly known as ape boys, one of the best guilds in the world with 99/100 first kills in the history of wow.
if you want to join the gentlemen club come to the corner and ask for big Katharina. she was always my favorite natural bodybuilder.
OK bye

Not as bad as everyone says...
I cannot agree completely with all the negative reviews. Yes, it is not very good but I have seen much worse. Anyone who says that this is worse than Daniel Der Zauberer never saw that movie. The humour is on the same level as Fack Ju Goethe or any of the 7 Zwerge movies. The last one should be no surprise since Otto Waalkes also helped to make this movie. Some of these gags are funny in a Zucker-Bros movie kind of way (and some were even stolen from Airplane and Naked Gun). If Baseketball was a Zombie-movie, this could be Kartoffelsalat.
So, why that much hate for this movie?
Maybe this type of humour works better on an audience that grew up in the 80s.
Maybe because this feels like binge-watching German Youtubers. If you like them on Youtube that is fine but 90 minutes can be quite exhausting.
Maybe the fans expected something more from all their beloved characters.
I couldn't care less because I only knew the 7 Zwerge cast. Without much expectations or bias, this was an OK movie and I enjoyed it. This is just my opinion and everyone can have their own. BUT if Sharknado found an audience, maybe this will too. Give it a try, maybe enjoy it as a SchleFAZ with friends.
Know what? Make it a triple feature. 1. Libero with Franz Beckenbauer 2. Daniel Der Zauberer 3. Kartoffelsalat
Pretty sure after the first two movies, you will nominate Kartoffelsalat for an Oscar ;-)

Recipe for ... disaster
Some people actually think that comedy is easy. Watch this to realize it's not. It's anything but. And while I don't know most of the people involved (especially the so called YouTube "stars"), they don't seem to realize how to tell a joke or have comedy timing for that matter. National Lampoon and many others have done the slapstick route and gone over the top with their stuff, but they could handle it.
This movie obviously can't. It also plays with a wink, doing it all knowingly. Which you have to be even better at acting and timing to pull off. It doesn't work. It's a car crash that you can see a 100 miles ahead at least. And if you're still watching it's your own fault. Wasting time was never so boring ... even if there is a final twist that tries to convince us otherwise ...

Awful movie, not entertaining at all
This is an utterly stupid and boring movie, probably intended for an audience of children and young adolescents who would pay any price to see their YouTube idols on the big screen. I didn't expect anything good when I first heard that a group of successful German YouTube stars was making a movie, but I had high hopes for unintentional comedy. I knew they would be disappointed after watching the first five minutes of dull, uninspired rubbish. All jokes are based on stereotypes, silly word games or exaggerated overacting, none of them are even remotely funny. The writer must have thought differently about that since most jokes are repeated multiple times throughout the movie. The plot is basically nonexistent if all references to breaking bad and cheesy comedy scenes are subtracted. Watching bad movies to make fun of all the mistakes and bad dialogue is usually something I enjoy, but watching this movie was disturbing. I don't recommend it to anyone alive.

A complete and utter waste of time
"Kartoffelsalat" (Potato Salad) is the worst movie I have ever seen (and probably will ever see). I had hopes, that after Ashens had been able to produce a feature film on a small budget, Torge Oelrich (who had a 1M / 1.1M $ budget) could come up with another decent movie to show that YouTube is serious business. These hopes were crushed.
"Kartoffelsalat" starts out on some slapstick gags and puns that could have been in Airplane! or the Naked Gun. One or two of those gags are decent, but then you realize that this is the only thing this movie has to offer. Pun after pun after pun, none of which catches you off-guard or is even remotely funny. The plot remains unaffected by these lousy jokes, but as it is just a (sub-)standard zombie-movie-plot, there's really not much to talk about. But it's not even the bad acting, partially bad editing, unprofessional audio, out of focus/blurry images, and stupid-as-hell plot that annoy me the most. It's the audacity. The audacity to promote this movie with tons of German YouTubers' names, only to lure their fans into watching this. 90% of these YouTubers have cameos where they get to say one or two lines of dialogue and that's it. I actually feel sorry for those teens who thought they could see their idol on the big screen, but only got their money taken right out of their pockets.
"Kartoffelsalat" has nothing to offer as a movie, and the more context you know, the worse it gets.

Good if you had more then a gallon of booze
That's all I wanted to say. Cringe, the movie. I don't expect much from German comedy's or German movies in general but this set the bar to a record low that not even a dwarf could limbo under it.

I dont know where to start
Overall: The movie is bad.
The story is written like a 10 to 20-minute YouTube-Sketch.
And if it would have been this it would be a great video but they streched it 80 minutes, filled it with jokes they warmed up in their microwave and added some more youtube trash stars that are not good at acting. The editing also feels like a youtube video. But sometimes you feel like they had a good idea but they failed to execute it well. So: There are YouTuber movies that are worse and because of that i'll rate it with 3/10 (Bad).
1: Awfull 2: Really Bad 3-4: Bad 5: Ok 6-8: Good 9: Really Good 10: Perfect.

Great if you watch it in Germany
Just like all German "Futurama" fans know,dubbing can totally ruin any film.
I guess this movie simply can't be dubbed into any other language.
If you're however German and know the actors, this movie is utterly funny.
You can compare it to Juan of the Dead, and it's even funnier.
Thanks to everyone involved in this movie for lighting in a candle in the horrible German movie landscape.

Entertaining comedy with zombies...
I stumbled upon the 2015 German horror comedy here in 2021 by random luck. I had never heard about the movie prior to sitting down to watch it. And with it being a zombie horror comedy, of course I needed no persuasion to sit down and watch it.
Why this 2015 movie from writers Torge Oelrich and Michael David Pate has gotten such low rating here on IMDb is just beyond my comprehension, because "Kartoffelsalat" (aka "Potato Salad") is a great zombie comedy pseudo-spoof. It was very much in the likes of older movies such as "Hot Shots!", "Top Secret", "Airplane!" and so on. So yeah, if you sit down to watch "Kartoffelsalat" with the intentions of watching a serious zombie movie, then you are in for a rude awakening.
The storyline told in "Kartoffelsalat" was pretty straight forward, and I found it to be entertaining enough. This wasn't really comedy that made me laugh, but it was comedy that worked out well enough given the storyline and the situations portrayed throughout the course of the movie.
The acting in the movie was adequate. I wasn't familiar with a single actor or actress here, but then again I am not overly familiar with the German movie industry.
If you enjoy a good light-hearted comedy pseudo-spoof with zombies, then "Kartoffelsalat" is definitely worth taking the time to sit down and watch. I was entertained by this movie, that's for sure.
My rating of director Michael David Pate's 2015 horror comedy "Kartoffelsalat" lands on a six out of ten stars.

I love this Movie
I have never laughed that hard in a movie. The jokes where perfectly timed. The actors where incredible. All those references where awesome. I think I will never find another movie like this. I can't understand why it is so underrated. If you have humor, you'll love all of it. Every second was gold. This movie changed my perspective on everything in my entire live. Just watch it and you will have fun. I would love to see another movie like this again. Thanks for watching, click like and leave a comment below, i'll appreciate it.
Not really. I have never seen something more horrible than that. I don't get the million dollar budget and why one of the best comedians of German history plays part in this thing. The jokes where not timed at all, or overused. The story was predictable from head to toe and was not even creative in any way. The Youtubers aren't funny in general, but this is the top of the cake. Only one thing I liked, was the ending, when It was finally over.

Kartoffelsalat - You could have fun
I was watching it with a bunch of friends at home and had a lot of fun with it (maybe not because it's funny but just plain stupid). If you are into trash movies you could enjoy this one :D So the jokes are stupid the story awful and the actors are even worse but, hey why just cry around I had fun, and I would do the same thing again if I could change it. It even has a few pretty funny Breaking Bad puns and insiders (for example his fathers name is Walter Weiss and they have pizza on the roof) So if you are not either drunk or in a very good mood with very good friends you will probably be bored and or annoyed but I wasn't.
