Frank Baumann does the Muggli for Cablecom

On Cablecom's info channel, a strange electrical expert is currently explaining how to install and program the network operator's Mediabox recorder: Fredi Muggli visits customers together with his apprentice and demonstrates how the new device works. The fact that Fredi Muggli seems a little clumsy and the assistant is no paragon of elegance is due to the fact that the quirky expert and the apprentice are the TV satirist and advertiser Frank Baumann and the comedian Kaydee. With false teeth and murderous glasses, Baumann plays the overly helpful boss who does everything he can to make his customers happy. "I actually wanted to make the role of Fredi Muggli a lot weirder, but we mustn't overwhelm Cablecom customers - it's enough if the audience can smile or marvel a little," explains Baumann in a statement from his company Wörterseh.
The first six episodes are already running on Cablecom's info channel, with more in the pipeline. The three-minute short films are filmed in a reportage style. They are intended to show viewers that the Mediabox recorder is foolproof if even Muggli and Kaydee can operate it: "If Muggli can do it, then anyone can!".
