Christoph Waltz pronounces the first letter of Sitzpinkler as a voiceless alveolar fricative. This is incorrect in both High and Low German and gives away his hailing from an alpine valley immediately.

That’s how I pronounce it, too? What would be the “correct” way?
Voiced?

Alas, I heve been living in Germany for years, and yet I must confess I don’t know what you are talking about. Must be because my Deutsch is pretty terrible… so isch leider.
Sitzen. Like the English zit, not like sit.
The German consonant “ s ,” in front of a vowel, is pronounced like an English “z” (as in “zipper”). It is voiced and soft. Following a vowel, the “ s ” is pronounced like an English “ s ” (as in “snow”), unvoiced and hard.

This adds flavor and charm.

Well, I don’t do it that way. I wouldn’t consider myself alpine however.
That video cheats so hard! They use nearly all latinate rather than Germanic words in English. A bit of Dutch in there as a balance and a smattering of non Latin English words and it would be quite different.
