Graf Bobby is a refined aristocrat who finds everyday events incomprehensible and speaks in a bland, monotone voice.
In the early 1950s these jokes were collected in anthologies, and later he was the main character in a number of films, played by Peter Alexander.
[1] Both Count Bobby and Baron Rudi are a little remote from daily life; their education is somewhat problematic; their intellectual abilities are only so-so, but their manners are impeccable.
Both have a hard time making ends meet, but are motivated by noblesse oblige.
They speak in a slightly bored inflection in a nasal Viennese dialect known as Schönbrunnerdeutsch, or German as spoken at the Habsburg Imperial Court at Schönbrunn.
