it's wrong that germans don't have humour...it's just that their homour is a bit weird.

in any case, mush of german humor doesn't translate well. I know this from when i stayed there and i would watch German tv with my host family and understand the basics of what was going on, but i would never catch the jokes so i asked my host sister to explain them to me and they never really made sense...

To be fair, i tried to translate the "two cupcakes are in an oven..." joke to a couple of people and it didn't go over as well as i'd hoped.

I'd beg you to differentiate.
there's nothing like a "typical german" humour of course, and not everyone ca luagh about any jokes...there may even be the people who are as humourless as the stereotype says...
But the Anti-jokes still exist, you can't deny that.
As well as a lot of other Jokes, spetches and art, that relys on nonsense as a satirical or funny stylistic device. Look at Heinz Ehrhard, Kurt Schwitters or Christian Morgenstern.

I think my favorite german/english joke is the 'gift' false cognate (You give your friends and family presents, but a gift to your mother-in-law). For those who are unaware, giftoison.

Petey-Winter [2011-05-30 09:11:02 +0000 UTC]

I guess I can't really deny that....

I know a similar joke:
Two sparrows are sitting in the basement and filling up firewood in bottles. One says "Next week is Christmas", the other anwers "Doesn't matter, I won't go there".
Or my all time favourite "A ball rolles around the corner and falls over." (Rollt ein Ball um die Ecke und fΓ€llt um.)

... Ok, I'm quiet now...

While I was in Germany I saw a interview with Robin Williams,

The German interviewer: Mr Williams why is it that their isn't much comedy in Germany?

Robin Williams: Did you ever think you killed off all the funny people?

The German Interviewer: No

.... Awesome

.....s-so true. xD

don't get me wrong, i love Germans, but sometimes their humour in itself makes me laugh. and that's a generalisation because i know a few hilarious Germans.

Or it might be a cultural thing. -does not understand the language-

MathildasDoubel In reply to marionetteBLUE3 [2011-03-25 14:39:20 +0000 UTC]

I'm sure it is a cultural thing and has to do with the language, but isn't the German language and growing up with and the german culture, what makes someone "German"? I'd say so, but I'm not sure... other people certainly have another definition.

I don't think that you can generalize it like this. Its not like we all in germany have the same humor. But its a strange thing that these Anti-jokes have developed. Its not like we all are laughing our asses off about them They're just there and everybody knows them and idk
