So we are not allowed to find something funny when it comes from somewhere where they are making fun of us?

Freedom of Speech, riiiiiiight.

*Gasp* You mean some Germans are capable of laughing at themselves?

For what it's worth, Monty Python deride Brits way more than they deride ze Germans.

Of course you can find it funny, I can assure you that the Brits are laughing more than you though.

What about freedom of speech? You have a problem with that portrayal of the Danish people?

My problem with that post is that you seem to imply that Germans are unable to laugh at/about themselves.

Long ago, but I don't think the fish is self aware enough to see his pickling...

I never meant to imply that. What I said was that a lot of the British humour about Germans isn't always benign. Actually I think Germans are the most eager to laugh at themselves and therefore they often get duped by the Brits.

But hey, maybe that's just how things are. Germans messed up and therefore they have to pay the price, far into the future.

What gives you that impression?

As for paying the price, humour aimed at other nationalities is be definition not begning. We are just advanced enough to still laugh about/ignore it.

...but Finns are not allowed to make fun of the Danish, right?

Of course you are allowed to. But I am also allowed not to find it funny.

...and then what happens? You will sue me to the Hague war crimes tribunal? The same one that isn't being used to pass judgement on US war criminals.
