Kesslers Knigge
Kesslers Knigge ("Kessler's Etiquette") is a German comedy series starring Michael Kessler as himself. The first season was broadcast from June to August 2009; production for another season remained undecided.

Format 
In each episode, Kessler demonstrates negative examples of etiquette, which may not be suitable in daily life situations. Each episode has three segments; every episode focuses on a topic such as the office, holidays, or the dead. Kessler begins each segment with a satirical smile. Each segment begins with the text "10 things that you should not do if ... (such as "...you are at the travel agency")" appear. The theme tune of the series is the instrumental version of "Nur ein Wort" by Wir sind Helden.

Production 
The episodes were produced in just two months in the autumn of 2008. The series was directed by Jan Markus Linhof and Joseph Orr.
