The confusion surrounding the self-proclaimed advertising master and his role in Stefan Raab's possible comeback is growing. A video with Raab references in which comedian Matze Knopf suddenly appears is now providing new material for discussion.
Illegal parking hunter Niclas M., who has given himself the title of advertising master, published a new video on Instagram on Sunday. However, it is not the 18-year-old himself who can be seen in it, but Matze Knop. In the clip, the comedian imitates the advertising master and photographs incorrectly parked cars and bicycles.
“I can't reveal everything now. There's a bit of something behind it. You already guess what,” says Matze Knop, aka the advertising manager, in the video. The real advertising master hints at what could be behind it with the hashtags he uses: #raab, #1409 and #srsmnm. On September 14th, Stefan Raab will box against former boxing world champion Regina Halmich at the PSD Bank Dome in Düsseldorf. The “sr” in the hashtag could stand for Stefan Raab, the “nm” for Niclas M.
“Well, I could very well imagine a Matze Knop like that as an intern, but what does he mean?” writes Niklas M., apparently astonished, about the clip.
Mystery about role in the Raab comeback
The video with Matze Knop is not the first clip with which the advertising master has attached himself to the hype about a Raab comeback. Niclas M. had already posted a clip a few days ago that was suspiciously similar in style to the films with which Raab had recently teased a return.
Fans then speculated that the ticket distributor could be a fictional character created by Raab. Or is he just a freeloader who is now happy about the attention? And does the same now apply to Matze Knop, who also wants his share of the attention pie? Is he in turn parodying the hype surrounding Raab and the controversial Instagram star? “You don’t know,” Stefan Raab would have said during his “TV total” days.
Niklas M. became an internet phenomenon thanks to a contribution from “Spiegel TV”. As a self-proclaimed advertising master, he travels through Germany to denounce parking offenders. His goal: to report at least one illegal parker in every German city.
