Phrasenschwein, is 22 cm in size, not jointed, has embroidered eyes, made from pink colored plush and is not limited (yellow ear-tag).

When Germany’s best-known football talk show “Der CHECK24 Doppelpass” goes on the air on Sundays at 11 a.m., the Phrasenschwein – or Platitude Pig – is always there. Every Sunday, a million or so viewers tune into SPORT1 to watch the show – and the well-loved Phrasenschwein, which has attained cult status among football fans of all ages, takes pride of place there. This works along the lines of a swear box – every time a guest uses a cliché, an empty buzzword, or a platitude during the live broadcast from Munich Airport, they have to put money into the piggybank, which ultimately goes to charity.

The Phrasenschwein is not only a star on TV but is also active on social media, tweeting fervently about the programme. And there is plenty to tweet about: As well as presenter Thomas Helmer and the expert panel featuring Marcel Reif, Thomas Strunz, and Armin Veh, a whole host of prominent names from the Bundesliga are invited to take part every Sunday.

Wherever there are lively discussions about football – whether on “Doppelpass” or in pubs, clubhouses, sports bars, offices, living rooms, or children’s bedrooms – the Phrasenschwein feels perfectly at home.

Phrasenschwein comes in a box with certificate of authenticity.
