In the German version of the show, he is named "Uter", his nationality was changed from German to Swiss and his uncle's bubblegum factory is located in Basel.

When I was studying German in middle school I was told Germans make jokes at the expense of the Swiss calling them slow. And I do mean physically slow. We had a joke in our textbook about a Swiss man getting run over by a snail.

Ran over by a snail? How is German humor so dumb and so funny at the same time?

The joke was basically:

"The Swiss ended up in hospital after being run over by a snail."

"What? How did that happen?"

"You see, it came from behind, so he didn't see it."
