The sound comes from Der Lottogewinn, one of the best known sketches by German comedian Loriot, the stage name of Vicco von Bülow. In the sketch, reporter interviews Erwin Lindemann, a 66 year old pensioner from Wuppertal who has won 500,000 marks and plans to open a paper business in Helsinki with his daughter. His rehearsed introduction collapses into repeated corrections, creating a catchphrase for German audiences. Clips and quotes still circulate on German television retrospectives, YouTube and soundboards as shorthand for getting hopelessly tongue tied on camera.
