Oliver Pocher is very familiar with jokes that go wrong. On April 1st, the comedian delivered a joke on Instagram, for which he received countless critical reactions.

The criticism – and sometimes anger – followed promptly.
Oliver Pocher comments on April Fool’s Day with Sandy Meyer-Wölden
“I find jokes about alleged pregnancies really borderline,” said one user. “If humor can hurt people or trigger them emotionally, then for me it’s not humor. I’m happy to have given birth to a healthy daughter, but unfortunately that’s not a given,” said another. Just two of a few voices who found the joke in bad taste. But among the comments there are also numerous Pocher fans who cannot understand the excitement. They are now joined by Pocher himself.

In his and Meyer-Wölden’s podcast “The Pochers! Freshly recycled” he addressed the criticism of his joke. Insight? None. “It’s interesting how people get upset about things that they don’t have to be upset about,” said Pocher. “Maybe you’re pregnant,” he said to his ex-wife. She doesn’t have to justify herself, says Meyer-Wölden. Then Pocher went one step further. People who have problems having children would be welcome to contact him. After all, he had twins and another child with his ex-wife and two sons with his wife Amira Pocher. The comedian doesn’t feel any pity for those who are sensitive to the issue of planning children. “We can’t do anything about it,” Pocher said clearly.
No pity for Princess Kate
In his “screen check”, which he carried out regularly on Instagram during the corona pandemic, Pocher criticized influencers with a lot of reach who did not adhere to the guidelines during the pandemic. He repeatedly pointed out the great reach that influencers have and do not know how to use. He seems to tend to forget that he has an immense reach and that his jokes can have consequences.
In the podcast, the two then talked about Princess Kate, who was ill. While Meyer-Wölden was shocked by the news of cancer, Princess Pocher’s fate left her cold. “Of course it’s sad and a shame if that happens, but she’s in the best hands,” he said. According to Pocher, he has so many friends and acquaintances with cancer that he is no longer affected by the condition of the future queen.
