I recently wondered whether Bernd was funnier or the novelty of it was more amusing in the earlier 2000s or I was simply younger... But yeah, his friends were around much more often then and there was more variety and "action". I guess they reduced expenses by having only Bernd around most of the time. I mean it is a filler program...
If I remember correctly, there were two different formats: A normal kid's TV series which featured Bernd and his friends and had regular episodes; and the "night loop" which was more surreal/"edgy", featured Bernd alone and had no real plot, only a sequence of random events that eventually looped. (And I think the latter was what made it go viral at some point)
I can fully imagine that the actual target audience for the loop were stoners...
>the actual target audience for the loop
I, ahem, may have heard about that. At the time. In Minecraft.
