For context, people are running to claim good table spots. Depending on the venue, if seating is limited… seating is often first come first serve. If you get there too late, you could end up waiting for hours for a seat, be sat away from friends, or at a table with poor service coverage. Not ideal especially if you were planning on being there the whole day.
Why such a rush? Where are they going?
Can someone insert a clip of that guy asking “Why are you running?!”
These people are in a rush because they want to get to the most prestigious of tents to snag up the best tables.
Edit:
the best tables that aren’t pre reserved for wealth and celebrities
Edit2:
as to why. For locals it is actually rather important what tent you were in when you tell your coworkers on monday
Similar to Americans rushing Walmart for black friday sale.
THE HORDE!
Later, Hosen! …
I love no one is out of dress
Ja bier !!
Man, I don’t like nothin that damn much.
Someone put The Drew Carey Show theme over this
A big crowd of Germans with the same goal. What could go wrong?
I mean…wow
I like beer too, but shit I know I’ll eventually be able to get one. Seems like young folk just having fun, though.
come slowly
It would be more fun to watch them try to do the same thing on the way out.
Seen too many crushes over the years, seeing this makes me uneasy, as what can go wrong.
Why is Octoberfest in September?
Dirndl for days
I went and grabbed a table while the parade was still going on.
One funny thing I noticed as an American. There is like NO fat people in this video. All going to gorge beer for days. Nice work krauts
Lederhosen and mass psychosis. Reminds me of the Black Friday store opening in the US.
Good German marketing gives results. Just keep this marketing away from the bad topics.

Lol. All this over beer and sausages?
lederhausen mayhem
As a German, Bavaria is so weird.
Hah, the slightly embarrassed smiles at the end. 🥴
Obligatory link to the best Oktoberfest documentary. If you have 3 minutes

Ah the excitement and energy of the young promised beer.
Camera person must be infected and that’s what why they’re running right past him
quickly! i need to buy overpriced beer!!
the really fun part is a couple of hours later, starting around 3 p.m., to the left and up the hill…that area is known as “puke hill” or “puke mound”…
man…the crap I´ve seen going down there is deffo NSFW…
lived 500m away from the Wiesn for a couple of years…it´s no fun most of the time
Was für Opfer 🙄
If you knew the beer prices they are excitedly running towards it would be even funnier.
Hurry to be the first one to pay for totally overprized beer.
Me, laughing and drinking a beer sitting on the couch in my porch…

So this isn’t the annual ‘running of the white folks’?
Oktoberfest or as the normal germans call it. „Moron Convention“

Suckers! With only a six-pack and a small collection of polka music, I make Oktoberfest come to *me.* (Lederhosen optional.)
The Running of the White People
I don’t think I’ve seen so many undiluted white people in one place in a long time.
