German ad that is "Supergeil"
Good morning,
this creative song is a great intro to German advertisement, (not sharing this to promote this store in particular).
This explains how you can use "super" in front of a lot of nouns and adjectives or compliment people with "super"!

True, bit if a video of a man like him isn't enough to persuade one to continue learning German, what is?
Sorry, I didn't mean it unfriendly. I really think it is hilarious!
I find the dancers quite "Supergeschmacklos" but the song is just funny. :D And I found the chance to remark on the use of English just too perfect in this case. I mean Julika said <<This explains how you can use "super" in front of a lot of nouns and adjectives or compliment people with "super"!>> et voilà this is hilarious!
To use "super" as an alternative Komparativ or Superlativ is Orwells' Newspeak and NOT normally used! This is an advertisement, there, other rules (might) apply.
Geil (=horny) is also a word you should never, ever use as it has some alternative meanings which can pose a problem to you....
gut, super gut, super plus gut... read 1984 and forgett this construct, FAST. Just use "sehr". Same construct but high language. sehr gut, sehr schnell, sehr schön, sehr schlecht.
You have to be really proficient in German to use these constructs without mayor incidents.
But that's just the humble advise of a native speaker.
