Honestly, I wouldn't have become aware of Wendler or Pocher at the moment if social media didn't exist. And somehow I even find the situation funny.
The most important things about Wendler and Pocher in brief:
- Wendler videos receive a wide range of responses
- Oliver Pocher satirizes the pop singer
- Copyright infringement lawsuit
Funny because it's somehow also an educational example at the same time. One person shows his private life more or less publicly, the other satirizes the insights and makes fun of it.
One person is annoyed and defends himself, the other puts the pedal to the metal again and goes even further. I can't say whether this will work out in the end.

At least it brings popularity to both of them. I have to admit that. At least you've made it to the point where I'm looking at the nonsense and processing it. But let's look back a little, let's start with the car video. Staging level: Uncertain !
The video was published on Instagram and has since been re-uploaded several times by various people. So far so good. Anyone who regularly uses social media will have noticed this.
This also applies to Oliver Pocher, who took this video as an opportunity to publish his version. Visually and also in terms of content, it is very similar to the original. Staging level: Of course 100% (the question of how to interpret the T-shirt is left to the viewer at this point).
However, that wasn't it yet. Logically, this video had an equally wide reach. And Pocher wasn't the only one: using the search term “Wendler Challenge” you can find several videos on YouTube that parody the situation.
Sometimes there is a ladder with a construction helmet as a gift (here), another “sweetheart” gets a case of beer ( compare ), another sunglasses-sweetheart gets this strange cake…. ( here ).

Wendler & Pocher: It continues!
It's these many little videos and swipes that Pocher is now publishing on his Instagram channel. All situations in which he goes after Michael Wendler.
Now things are getting exciting: According to media reports, Wendler announced that he wanted to take legal action against the videos. Reason for this: copyright violations and insults, as Pocher uses excerpts from the Wendler videos in his own videos. Like in this example:
This is social media
And now we are at the point where things get exciting for all of us: social media and the possible staging of each. Yes, social media has fundamentally changed the sender-receiver relationship.
While there used to be only a few stations in which journalists had a gatekeeper function to check what was relevant or even true, today anyone can broadcast content using social media. Relevance doesn't matter at all.
Just as exciting: Anyone who broadcasts something publicly must of course expect reactions on social media at any time. This is one of the most important parts of the platforms.
What becomes exciting at this point, however, is the extent to which there has been a copyright infringement and insult through the use of the material published by Wendler. Oliver Pocher already has his answer ready:

“After Oliver Pocher parodied Michael Wendler, the pop singer filed a criminal complaint against him. But Pocher doesn't let that intimidate him: he mocks Wendler again.
The dispute between Oliver Pocher, Michael Wendler and his girlfriend Laura Müller is entering the next round. Although the pop singer has already announced a lawsuit against Oli, the comedian continues to make his jokes via Instagram. And other celebrities are now also joining in.“
