The Brotopians are a sapient spacefaring species appearing in Astrobrot, one of the Bernd das Brot late night loops broadcast on the German children's TV channel KiKA.
Description[]
The Brotopians are a civilisation of sapient and intelligent white breads from the planet Brotopia. They are similar in appearance to the show's protagonist, Bernd the Bread. Like him, the Brotopians are small, rectangular and golden brown, with rings around their eyes. The only difference between Bernd and the aliens seems to be the two antennas that the aliens have attached to their head. Although it is not shown, the aliens probably also have short hands and feet that are directly attached to their bodies, as the same puppet was used for Bernd and the one alien that is seen in the loop.
Brotopians are known to be a spacefaring civilisation, travelling through the universe in search of other spacefaring civilisations of intelligent breads to make contact. To accomplish this goal, they use flying saucers that are coloured in red and violet, have a small cockpit and spin around themselves. Bernd once met a few Brotopians when they traveled to earth to be the first contact of the inhabitants, but they changed their plan and flew back to Brotopia after hearing that Bernd was the fist bread in space and that earth was inhabited mostly by humans, deciding that earth was a backward planet inhabited by an apparently "very silly and loud" species.
