MA 2412 is a hilarious Austrian TV-Show produced for the Austrian public national broadcast station ORF.
The show first aired in 1998 and was canceled in 2002. There are 34 Episodes.

storyline:
The (fictional) bureau of christmas decoration on the outskirts of Vienna is the main location of the show. The leading characters are Ingenieur Breitfuss (Roland Düringer), Herr Weber (Alfred Dorfer), Frau Knackal (Monika Weinzettl) and Herr Claus (Karl Ferdinand Kratzl). All leading actors are also well known Austrian cabaret artists, this fact is a great enrichment for the show.
Basically, the series is a humorous parody of the bureaucracy (red tape) in Austria. All kind of prejudices and stereotypes about government officials are portrayed exaggerated and sarcastically in a very funny way.

It's a pity that the show was cancelled after 34 episodes since it was one of the most inventive and humorous shows in Austrian television ...
some funny dialogs and quotes (German, in Austrian dialect):

Frau Knackal: "Nein."
Herr Weber: "Dass ich jetzt von Ihnen einen Kaffee bekomme!"
Frau Knackal: "Mit Milch und Zucka?"
Herr Weber: "Auch ... aber vor allem mit Lichtgeschwindigkeit!"

Frau Knackal: "Wo genau war Ihr persönlicher Rekord, Herr Weber?"
Herr Claus: "Nicht einmal eine Minute, ich hingegen ..."
Herr Weber: "Schnauze Herr Claus!"

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
