Stefan Raab moves out: nude slat on a provocative TV show!

On Wednesday, September 18, 2025, the third edition of the "Stefan Raab Show" took place, which focused on the controversial topic of nudists. The audience consisted of nude activists from the German naked team, which already provided an exciting atmosphere. Stefan Raab explained that it was an art campaign against the "penis patriarchy". This statement laid the foundation stone for a penis slat that was created as a result, which the viewers both surprised and shocked when Raab began to undress, but ultimately broke off to avoid possible negative reactions.

The excitement of the show was the vote on the artist "Puppetry of the Penis". Raab had Instagram voted on whether the artist should appear pixelated or unpixeled. The result was clear: the puppeteer was allowed to present unpixelated for a total of four minutes. This ensured mixed reactions in the audience and at the audience at home.

Puppetry of the penis - a special work of art

"Puppetry of the Penis" is a humorous live performance that was launched in 1996 by the Australian Simon Morley. Originally intended as a high-ranking art calendar at the show of twelve genital "installations", the concept developed into a live show that was performed for the first time at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. This idea shows two naked men who manipulate their genitals in different forms-a spectacle referred to as "genital original".

Since then, performance has gained popularity and has been performing in 35 countries, including in Australia, New Zealand, Europe, Canada and the USA. The show, which consists of around 45 genital manipulations, combines comedy with a emphasized creative handling of bodies. Details on the performance make it visible to the audience 20 times life by a large screen projection, and the whole thing is opened by a 25-minute comedy act.

A look at modern representations of the body

The scandal in Raab's show is in the context of a changing perception of nudity and body pictures in modern society. The body-positive movement, which promotes the open use of body experiences, supports diversity of the representations of the body. Artists are increasingly emphasizing the value of realistic bodies, apart from traditional ideals of beauty. In the past, photography was often geared towards the white body; Today, the view is more widespread to reflect on the identities of marginalized groups.

New perspectives, such as those brought in by the photographer Zanele Muholi-which show the living environment of the black LGBTQI community in South Africa-contribute to the fact that nudity is no longer only portrayed as voyeuristic or sexualized. Rather, it is considered a political and intimate understandable element.

Stefan Raab's artistic approach and the contents of the "Puppetry of the Penis" show emphasize the strong connection between art, nudity and social norms, which remain relevant today, and encourage you to think about your own limits and perspectives.

So the evening was not only a colorful mix of entertainment, but also a call to think about gender roles, body representations and the changing social norms.
