A German television show has poked fun at Brexit Britain with a spoof of the Netflix series The Crown.
Extra3, which airs on public broadcaster NDR, took aim at Boris Johnson and co with a new comedy sketch which is going viral in the country and now the UK.
The Clown on ‘Brexnix’ features the “epic saga” of a “notorious buffoon” who sits at the head of a country whose “inhabitants tumble down hills to catch cheese”.
It depicts the PM’s attempts to “con” Brits with his “circus acts and sleight of hand”. “But his funniest trick yet is Brexit”, the voiceover notes. “He cons Brits into believing fake numbers. And that’s how Mr. Johnson leads them out of the EU.”
And so it spirals into chaos…. for 23 seasons.

Since you are here
Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.
Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.
Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
