look at how shy he is. like, naw, you cannot tell me he is not enjoying this. he very clearly and obviously is enjoying this SO much. look at him, look how he's looking away, look how he's like trynna hide his silly blushy shy little smile away from the person dining his table. if only he would look nicer, be nicer, and this would not be the current german chancellor having a fun meetup with Winnie the Pooh (Xi Jinping), yeah, that would change the vibe of this image.

Depressed loaf of bread from German kids' TV.
...Glad we could clear that up and there's definitely no questions left unanswered.

For the less funny answer, a German kids TV channel was, well, a whole TV channel. It didn't just cease to exist in the late hours, when it was definitely bedtime for kids.
So they made this puppet show(?), where this grumpy bread kept telling the viewer to go to bed, and engaging in several shenanigans to make them go to bed. And then always being disappointed/dejected that you're still up and watching and bothering him. For hours on end, as it was basically playing the whole night through.
Retroactively people then said the bread was depressed (makes sense for somebody who's down all the time), but long before that he already became cult in Germany. Because if you were like, an older kid who might stay up longer, you might watch some cartoons etc before "TV bedtime", then maybe the TV is still on and HEY there's Bernd with his grumpy shenanigans again.
