After the second “Wetten, dass..?” comeback show on November 19, 2022, moderator Thomas Gottschalk was once again met with mockery and pointed comments – the reason for this is by no means new.
Many viewers want to have heard the 72-year-old lisp – and comment on it humorously on Twitter.
The one with the #Lisp let’s practice again. #gottschalk #bet that

Parallels to presenter Katja Burkhardt are sought.
Is Katja Burkard Gottschalk’s daughter or is this speech impediment contagious? I can hardly listen anymore ?
He didn’t lisp like that before. #bet that #Thomas Gottschalk #KatjaBurkard #ZDF #Lisp— Alternative Indie (@AlternativeInd1) November 19, 2022
The dental technician Gottschalks also gets his fat off.
Mockery because of “dentures”
Many users of the news platform consider a poorly fitting denture to be the cause of Gottschalk’s alleged lisp.
Gottschalk should have his dentures sharpened. Then his lisp goes away too. #Bet that

An angry Twitter user demands immediate clarification from the public service about Gottschalk’s supposed teeth.
I ask for an explanation @zdf why the Gottschalk mumbles so much and has such ill-fitting teeth! He has millions and doesn’t have to lisp like that!! Or just old? #Bet that

The moderator would have had enough time to take care of his teeth before the show, says another.
That the Gottschalk himself doesn’t mind the lisp of his teeth. So he would have had enough time to have it fixed by tonight ?#Bet that

More examples of the Twitter mockery:
I don’t think it’s appropriate to talk too much about #gottschalk‘s lisp to make fun!
not everyone can afford a well-fitted prosthesis!#bet that— Þeodisk ЯantaloT?? (@vertig0nix) November 19, 2022
Thomas Gottschalk should urgently change the adhesive cream brand. The lisp doesn’t work at all! #bet that

Teeth jokes already a year ago
All of this sounds very familiar: The topic of lisp and teeth was already discussed extensively in November 2021. At that time, the moderator legend had to endure almost the same jokes and the same mockery after the first comeback show. In other words: the Gottschalk teeth jokes are almost (but only almost!) as established as his show itself!
