It’s some kind of german equivalent of the Mexican comic that dresses like a bumble bee.

MM got it - it is indeed Bavarian (Bayerisch/Bairisch), a dialect of German spoken in Bavaria (Bayern/Baiern).
The recording comes from YouTube is part of an episode of the Simpsons (De Huabas) in Bavarian.

The Simpson?? LOL. That’s why it sounded so funny!

The Preiß meaning Prussian was a clue. Austrians might talk about Piefkes, but afaik only Bavarians talk about Prussians (i.e. the rest of the world.)

Bayerish! Keine Zweifel.
