This German television parody of The Crown perfectly mocks Boris Johnson and Brexit

With the UK’s Brexit negotiations still ongoing, patience to reach a deal is starting to wear thin on all sides.

It’s also no secret that the whole Brexit saga isn’t exactly endearing Britain to its European neighbours – especially not to Germany, it seems.

Turning frustration into humour, A German television show, Extra3, has brilliantly mocked Boris Johnson and his Brexit proposals in a spoof inspired by The Crown.

Here’s the video – complete with subtitles, of course – in full:

The video, coming in at a little under three-minutes, features clips of Boris Johnson’s most infamous and cringeworthy moments.

And here are just some of the things people are saying about it:

The way the world sees us. Funny if it were not so tragic and self inflicted. https://t.co/JeSd6nBHLV

The Germans do have a sense of humour, and they are laughing at Johnson. I know some people actually voted for him because they think he’s funny, but please can we elect a proper statesperson next time. https://t.co/4q5Vznd6W5

This is nothing like the crown, it's much more factual.
