"People say Germany doesn't have any sense of humor but did you ever stop to think that they killed all the funny people" - Robin Williams

[@reginaldcrapo132]

But, then whoever laughs last, laughs best... or so the Germans would have us believe. Apparently.

@iconoclast Any Indians left in America? Aboriginies in Austrailia? Inka? Though i know there is a difference, the thing is to move forward instead of backwards pointing fingers is easy (where i am from indigenous ppl have had a rough time through the ages as well - just dosen't help to stay mad at what our ancestors did)

@@reginaldcrapo132 i think its part of shadenfreude - laughing best at the end ;-) (and yes shadenfreude is also an english word =)

German: "Nein. I do not zink zis ist der case."

[@thablackguy84]

I thoroughly enjoyed this!

[@BluisRaw02]

Just hearing him speak in German is hilarious 😂

[@collinsworthgilman]

This guy was great. I laughed 3 out of 4 mins

[@godfathermock61788]

He had some pretty good jokes. Lol

In 2004 Mittermeier released a Program named „Paranoid“. This show is all about his experiences in New York.

I was expecting KZbin to crash when I typed German standup comedy .

[@thfccoys5103]

We have a sense of humour but most of our comedians are shit. Chris Tall is good tho.

[@andreasmartin9296]

@@thfccoys5103 We have Loriot, Max Giermann, Martina Hill, Jan Böhmermann, Jochen Malmsheimer, Tobias Mann, Christoph Sieber, Torsten Sträter, Georg Schramm, Volker Pispers, Serdar Somuncu and the books of Marc-Uwe Kling and Tommy Jaud. I don't know about you, but I have fun.

[@oreodimasdale3840]

Actually searched German Stand up comedy because foreign comedy is my way of learning their language, just like how that Paul guy made me stomach learning a bit of French. As a filipino, I always incorporate comedy in almost everything to make life easier and today, I did not expect to learn that Germans don't do comedy. This vid is funny tho.

[@natv.2272]

and here I am doing the same thing a year later. I hope you're doing well!

[@legowelt0809]

We Germans have comedy? We have quite a lot of comedy.. don’t know how u were searching for ur answers 😅 Nonetheless it’s as great way to learn a language. Once u understand jokes ur start to know a language.

[@MellonVegan]

We have tons of comedy. Most of it (well, whatever is usually popular) just isn't very good.

[@hmvollbanane1259]

There is quite a lot of comedy however most is rather mediocre. What is great however is German satire (though due to the nature of satire holding a jester's mirror to ones' face hard to get for foreigners)

[@mizzyroro]

Man German humour is just plain dark man.

[@mohibr2933]

Tiffany XD had to be a fucking Tiffany XDD

[@NinjaNerosis]

Lol im american, but one of the actual smart ones that learned actual proper history so this was hilarious lol

[@TheNewFlesh]

If you have to announce that you're smart, maybe you were unable to demonstrate it. Perhaps some punctuation would complete the illusion.

[@anaceweirdo1579]

@@NinjaNerosis bro... You just proved their point.... You don't have to say that you're american either I'm one and I don't care :P but please be a bit nicer to peeps-

[@travishaynes9682]

Even if the stereotype is true there HAS to be at least one funny German. This is him. LOL

[@VoltaireVI]

Germans have indeed a sense of humour. And, there are a lot of funny German comedians.

[@madrooky1398]

Like the one smart American. Still to be found.

[@MontuckyGirl75]

Brad Pitt’s German cousin.

[@abrahambenavidez1006]

German stand-up sounds like the example used in every sitcom where a character is bad at stand-up.

[@NKA23]

This guy isn't very representive of German stand up comedy. There are WAY better guys than him, he's just one of the most successful ones.

[@DJTheMetalheadMercenary]

Hahaha, das war lustig.

[@aesteloriel]

ô_o Dont understand why people think Germans aren't funny... Germany has some amazing Standups.. Like Kaya.. and Michy.. Mirko .. and Bully.. Anke Engelke and above all Miss Pussy Terror...

[@VoltaireVI]

I used to be a big fan of Anke Engelke.

[@ravenmills-prouduscitizenm9609]

Pretty good humor for a German! I laughed out loud once

[@simonsaysno]

Most Canadians live on a latitude lower than that of Berlin. Either his wife is an American with a German accent or she is just confused.....

[@gabrielahellmanndircksen9540]

The best jokes r in German, definitely. And German is not my mother language.

[@ravenmills-prouduscitizenm9609]

Yea German humor is awesome. I nearly smoked once!

[@TainDK]

u the one RuPaul imitates? (she done already done had herses)

[@thfccoys5103]

Many Germans are funny. He’s just a shit comedian.

[@standarduser3886]

Not funny. Germans do not seem funny when you tell them jokes and they dont laugh - as they translate the English jokes into German language first - and the joke is lost in translation. And when we tell a joke fo a foreigner - it is the same because we suck at English like Michael who lived half a year in America and still looks Hollywood movies while the rest of Americans watch them. And why are we so bad? Well once we rule the world, you all will speak German - so there is not really a big need to learn English properly.

[@kawnitguloruskova4795]

I did not find anything funny

[@CarolaAdolf]

He is terrible...

That's not a true story. A person in New York wouldn't be that stupid.

Do you know that Donald Trump is from New York?

[@alexanderjoseph22]

@David Jeske ​ He lost the popular vote so they didn't actually vote for him. And "a leader is always the smartest of the group"?? That's absurd. Setting aside the fact that intelligence is demonstrated in a plethora of varying ways (i.e., not all smart people choose a life of politics) it's impossible to adequately quantify. And even if it were, the election process doesn't hinge on the intelligence of a candidate--Donald Trump being the prime example of this...

[@leah---2791]

oh no. as an American i can agree that the vast majority of us are incredibly stupid.

[@mattnsac]

I this is the height of German comedy, Im glad Im not German.

[@hallitoff3883]

Ein Deutscher catering to our passive agressive Kanadian neighbors by making fun of Americans, saying things he would probably never have the nerve to say to an American audience. Which bugs me more, the superior attitude of the faux polite Kanadians, or the faux funny comedian who exploits the prejudices of the two-faced* Kanadians? * Kanadians are always telling themselves and the ganze Weld they are too polite. Try living in an American city that suffers from too many Kanadian shoppers, or listening to their public and private conversations when they think no outsiders are over hearing them....

[@arroe8386]

Well, he made the same joke in New York...
