There're so many variations of humor in the world.
One of my favorites is the British humor. In Germany Monty Python, Benny Hill, Mr. Bean etc. are very well liked. They got nearly a cultic state. Loriot* [real name: Victor von Bülow] was one of the best german humorists. His main target was the german philistinism which was very distinctive until circa the end of the seventies of the last century. The name 'Loriot' is the French word for 'golden oriole'; the bird is a part of his family crest. Quote:
Very funny... *BTW: surely you all know the movie 'The Longest Day'. In this movie there're two short sequences wherein you can see 'Loriot' as a german officer when he was a very young actor... . |

 B.t.w. John Cleese was really making fun about his fellow-english people and their stereotypic perceptance of germans. At least he said so in an english interview Greetings, Catfish |
