One of his best pieces ever: the yodle diploma.



I still wet my pants when watching it.

Why is Canada called Canada?

Because there is no-one there.


Trust me, it works better in German.

German humour is no laughing matter

As a Brit I find Henning Wehn the funniest German - although I'm not aware of many alternatives. Loriot in that link was just like a bad day for Benny Hill. Wehn comes across as funny to us because he acts like the perceived stereotype of a German, which we all know isn't really how you all are.

I don't know that German humor is all that different from any other, but then I have some German background in me, so what do I know? Of the three links above I really identified with 'The Picture'. I can see myself doing something like that.

I particularly like the Das Boot spoofs, and I've seen a few off-color videos I wouldn't mind having translated, just so I knew what was really going on.

But the thread is about Loriot, whom I had never heard of before today, but I'm already sorry he's gone.
