Anyone who tuned in to “Joko & Klaas against ProSieben” on Tuesday evening felt transported back to the Middle Ages. Around 15 minutes of free airtime had to win Klaas Heufer-Umlauf (36) and Joko Winterscheidt (41) compete against their broadcaster in various games. But at the latest when it came to the “endurance” discipline, games could no longer be used. The tasks the two had to do were more like torture methods.

So Joko had to do an eye test while he was connected to Klaas by a rope. Meanwhile, he was lying on a rack. If Joko had to get closer to the eye test, Klaas was stretched more. Despite the cries of pain, he held out the challenge. The two of them could not do this with every task. So Klaas hydrochloric acid was dripped onto his hand until Joko had eaten three spoons of salt. «It hurts seriously! Are you crazy, ey? ”Klaas complained about the caustic liquid. Moderator Steven Gätjen (47) played down the acidity: «You can rinse it off with water afterwards. And we have a doctor there just in case. »

Joko is run over with go-kart
Joko also got under the wheels – literally. His colleague ran over with a go-kart. Klaas’ task was to drive the go-kart to a board where the number Pi was 20 decimal places. He had to remember this and write it on another board at the starting point. When driving back and forth, Joko was an obstacle in the way. The pain was written on his face. “It hurt, it ran over my little finger,” whined Joko. Despite the pain, they won in the end.

The viewers are still outraged. The audience is horrified on Twitter. A user writes: «Pain here, pain there. ProSieben can’t think of anything else? The entertainment drops to match the level. We love Joko and Klaas – we don’t want to see them suffer, they should also have fun! What shoud that?”

Another user says: “ProSieben is also a bit sadistic on the road.”

Even a woman from the specialist answers: “I’m still a little shocked at the task with the hydrochloric acid. As a chemist, I sometimes work with significantly worse substances, but letting a corrosive acid run over someone’s skin to endure is absolutely unreasonable and irresponsible. »

The 15 broadcast minutes won will be broadcast on ProSieben this evening at 8:15 p.m. And the content of this quarter of an hour is also very likely again provide something to talk about. (bsn)
