having lived in Germany (provincial Germany, not Berlin) I can confirm that Germans do in fact have a sense of humour.
It is unfortunately deeply unsophisticated and resembles the sense of humour of a horny 1970s mongoloid.

So not unlike that of a typical Peter Kay audience, then?

that is a very good comparison. In Germany, Peter Kay would be thought of as highbrow. And possibly sexy.

Even in court.

I live in a sophisticated area (München)
And I've found it to be very droll, mainly revolving around clever word play and witticisms which is far easier to exploit given german word conjugation. I do think that the older post-war pre-70's generations are a bit lame and tasteless though... und folglich gleich wie England. ;)

Reading your sig makes Tennyson sound like an emo.
Maybe he was, he was a massive prick.

STFU. I studied English lit you knob end.
I had to endure far too much of Tennyson and his regurgitated bullshit. He read about the Charge of the light brigade in the Times for fucks sake. Wilfred owen, now there is a war poet I can get into, even if Siegfried Sassoon edited and recomposed his finest works. Dulce et decorum est, eh!
Your sig does make it read better though, dropping the comma makes it make alot more sense.

Wow, sorry, that was quite ranty.
I didn't mean it to come across that way. I just really dislike Alfred (he was never a lord) Tennyson.

I do know what you mean though.
I far, FAR prefer early hippy Tennyson: All the "ah welaway" & "Oh! That one so beautiful should have so dull an ear!" &c.

Germans with a realistic ideal of their capabilities and are content with being comfortable financially with a stable manufacturing base?

How many Germans does it take to change a lightbulb?
Just one. They do it quickly and efficiently using a good quality bulb

A pure blood German would oversee a Slav beating another Slav with a stick until the Slav changed the bulb
while the German gains sexual gratification from the beating.

A German I know told me a couple of jokes, which I think are wonderful.
Joke 1: 23 people walk into a museum, then 24 walk out. Then 1 person walks in, and the museum is empty.
Joke 2: In a desert, there is a sheep sitting on a fence, knitting oil. A policeman approaches him and says "There's no parking here!"

I only know one German joke.
A Bavarian, a Prussian and a Swabian are at the pub, drinking beer. Suddenly, each notices that he has a fly in his beer.
The Bavarian fishes out the fly, and continues drinking. The Prussian sets his beer aside and fetches himself a new, uncontaminated, one. The Swabian fishes the fly out, and makes it spit back what it's swallowed.
I'm assuming that, from a country of 80 million souls, there must be a better joke somewhere.

It probably helps to know the stereotypical idiosyncrasies of Bavarians, Prussian and Swabians
in order for one to understand that that is, generally speaking, what each of those regional communities might do in that scenario if they all followed the traditional stereotype, and then laugh.
Luckily I do!* HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
*I don't

If only one of us could spell burocratic, then we'd be halfway German.

...unless you were referring to yourself, rather than accusing me of being welsh.
In which case- I'm very sorry.

I can't bestow the description on Welsh upon you without first seeing your entire back-catalogue of credentials
I am referring to myself, my dear cigarette searcher.
Also, I am pinching that gif ta (although I know it was made online)

I wouldn't know. That is from a French film, and those actors are all French.
The main actor is Louis de Funès, and the film is 'Le Grand Restaurant' (and that scene was cut out in the East German version, I've read).
Link: www.imdb.com/title/tt0061728/
(and the information about the cut came from: www.imcdb.org/movie_61728-Le-grand-restaurant.html )
