Simplicissimus is a German YouTube channel which publishes video essays on politics, global affairs and society..[1][2]
Channel
[edit]Simplicissimus was created on 12 April 2015 under the name Simplicissimus 2.0, after the German satirical magazine Simplicissimus which ran from 1896 to 1967[1]. It was created by university students Jonas and David who were studying at the time in Amsterdam.[3] The channel deals with issues in politics, society, science and media.
In 2019, the channel was a part of Funk media. They left in 2022[4] for more "flexibility" and in order to "experiment more".[3] The videos themselves are made by a team of 24 people who work internationally but have an office based in Amsterdam.[5] Simplicissimus worked once more with Funk on a documentary, "Putin's Bears", in 2024[6][7]
Jonas and David created a second channel 2 Bored Guys in 2016, with more subjective and casual videos.
The English language version of the channel is fern, which is co-managed by Dutch YouTuber Hoog.[8]
