From what I've seen of German humour, it is more concerned with people falling in holes and hitting each other with planks.

Where did you see that, Gnomon?
It's the kind of humour I'd more associate with Laurel and Hardy or Norman Wisdom than Germany.

It's not Germany's fault that nobody speaks German and doesn't know our comdians. Loriot is fantastic, for instance.

Ich kann auch ein bisschen Deutsch sprechen, but I think you'd have to be very good at a language to appreciate the humour.
