Underrated/Overrated

Overrated: Corona's consequences on Germany (see Trump's last election video)
Underrated: German sense of humour (see spoiler: German reply to T's election video)
Example for German humour see here:

That vid totally made my day, heehee. In his election video, T's people had illegally used film clips from Eggenfelden, a country town in my district. The inhabitants were furious and insulted by his claims that their town was dead and economy had broken down. So they made this video (if you speak German, don't worry if you understand only a few words. The clip is made in the local dialect).
The text translates roughly as:

dear Mr President,
over there on the foreign continent,
if you believe in our homestead
everything is grey and dead
because here in Eggenfeld'
the lockdown-requiem is rang by corona bells
and the desease-breeze quietly
blows out all life from the Rott-valley [Rott is the local river],
if in your video clip you believe
that everything here is in decease
and vultures scream above our heads....

..... you might be mistaken.

We're still upright, awake and fine:
an Eggenfeldener doesn't resign.
With us, nobody will give up
as long as the head still sticks out of the swamp.
Of course we got hit but we don't close the gates
and all our shops still operate.
Bakers, butchers, factories,
fashion shops and deliveries.
From plumber to the hair stylist,
all of us are optimists.
And one day - just wait and see! - Eggenfelden will be great again! :p
