  Context from Wikipedia: '"The Funniest Joke in the World" (also "Joke Warfare" and "Killer Joke") is a Monty Python comedy sketch. The premise of the sketch is that the joke is so funny that anyone who reads or hears it promptly dies from laughter. ... The German translation of the joke in the sketch is made of various meaningless, German-sounding nonce words, and so it does not have an English translation.'
