Held the #1 of IMDB's Worst 100 list in September 2015.
During the premiere of the movie, the director said that, "Kartoffelsalat" isn't a movie for critics, but for the "target audience".
He received lots of criticism for that quote and most of the "target audience" ended up hating the Film.
Otto Waalkes' participation in the film started in a dream that Torge Oelrich had and posted about on Facebook. Waalkes responded to the post, and the cooperation began.
The title "Kartoffelsalat" ("potato salad") was originally a joke by Hauke Schlichting, but Torge Oelrich and Michael David Pate loved the idea and stuck with it. After many discussions over the title, Pate added the tagline "Nicht fragen!" ("Don't ask!").
The first project that Torge Oelrich and Michael David Pate commenced together was a two-episode YouTube short named "Süßes oder Sandra". It achieved over 6 million views.
