At present we are more into tragedy and National Geographic documentaries (you know trying to find a place to move to).

...not to hijack the thread, but here's my favorite Russian comedian:

Monolog of a drunk



Efin Shifrin

My favorite one is the starving pornstar bit.

Of course the Germans have as much a sense of humour as any other people.
So what's so bad in showing it sometimes?

And the verdict of the international folks is clear:
Germany officially the world's least funny country

Quote:
But before Britons become too smug, the survey did not rank the UK a great deal higher, placing us fourth behind Russia and Turkey.


Here's the top 10 least funny countries:

1 Germany
2 Russia
3 Turkey
4 Britain
5 America
6 France
7 Poland
8 Belgium
9 Holland
10 Canada

The country that gave us Shakespeare and Monty Python is one of the least funny? I'd like to know what they think is funny.

I haven't heard about this badoo.com site before I read the article, but there must be weird folks on it: Belgium one of the least funny countries? Belgium is pure comedy

And Shakespeare is as funny as MP?
Maybe I should try to read him again.

And Helge Schneider is the best German comedian, no discussion about that - though I am the Generation Hallervorden.
He doesn't play a role, he is like this, here's a song with english subs - he is a great jazz musician btw:
