Please be a bit more specific about Bernd das Brot being a Horror Movie concept??

I AM SO GLAD YOU ASKED ANON (also sorry it took me literal weeks to answer this ask it got lost in my drafts sorry <3 it is now almost 1am and i feel the need to answer this RIGHT NOW so if anything is incoherent i'm sorry its bc i need to go to bed <3)

okay, so, I don't know how much background information you have on Bernd, so I'm just gonna assume zero. He is character of German's children television channel KiKa.

first of all, pls read this character description wikipedia made with the fact that Bernd is a character made for children in mind:

do not ask any child that has grown up with seeing Bernd on TV if they are okay. We are not. But that doesn't qualify the concept of Bernd das Brot as a horror movie yet, it is just an,,, let's call it interesting (aslo very relatable) choice for a characterization for a childrens TV character).

What I was particularily talking about when i called it that was Die Nachtschleife - the night loop.

The night loop is shown on Kika between 9pm and 6am every day. During that time, the channel is not broadcasting any particular content except a looped 7-25min long clip throughout the whole night. And the most prominent character in this loop: you guessed it, BERND! our beloved depressed loaf of bread <3

Where it enters horror genre is that the general plot of every loop is that Bernd gets dropped into an empty, white room against his will. He is getting manhandled by a robotic arm and a disembodied computer voice called "Weißbox Master Control Programm" ("white box master control programm") is the only one talking to Bernd - and it is also talking to the audience, it's kind of like the moderator of the whole thing. The voice is then requesting Bernd to do several things for the audience, which Bernd doesn't want to do. All Bernd wants to do is escape the room but he never manages to do it and always gets dragged back etc and at the end of the loop, it always seems like Bernd manages to escape somehow just for the clip to end there and the loop beginning from the start where Bernd is dropped in the white void again.

So this loop continues thru the whole night, getting shown on the childrens channel, and it's just a depressed loaf of bread who hates his life being forced to be in a room and not being able to leave in any way and stuck in a loop, being forced to be in front of the tv viewers (the 4th wall basically doesnt exist, bernd openly talks to the audience how he has enough of television and how viewers should turn off the tv etc). Bernd is held against his will, forced to do (often for him humiliating) stuff, tries to escape for the whole night and never manages to do it, his hope of escaping always squashed when thebloop stsrts again, stuck in a loop, has a disembodied voice telling him what to do and a robotic arm moving him w/o his will and it is intended to be mainly seen by children (even tho the night loop - in bernds case bernd - is constantly telling the viewer to turn the tv off). THEY PUT SOMEONE W DEPRESSION THRU ALL THIS UGHHHH LEAVE HIM ALONE STOP TORTURING HIMMMM

there is more to expand on but this is all i have at 1am and if anyone says its not a horror concept they are wrong <3

also, kinda unrelated but bernd is a trans king <3
