German is conspicuously absent…
- askonomm 3y agoGermans and laughter go together like two north poles of a magnet.
- pjmlp 3y agoOnly for those that don't speak the language. German humor is not that different from British dark/satiric humor and there is plenty of it around here.

- whycome 3y agoI definitely don't see much German humor around here. This place tends to be pretty dry.
- pjmlp 3y agoI suggest attending some Poetry Slam rounds, NightWash sessions, or some mix of Dieter Nuhr, Torsten Sträter, Bülent Ceylan, Jan Böhmermann, Felix Lobrecht among others. Plenty of humor styles to chose from.
- KineticLensman 3y agoThe german sense of humour is no laughing matter
- MichaelMoser123 3y agothis sentence sounds like British humor (or is it humour?)
- KineticLensman 3y agoBritish, yes and ‘humour’
- pjmlp 3y agoActually it is quite satiric and dark, not that much different from British, naturally requires good language understanding to get the jokes.
- w-m 3y agoIf your language has its own word for the concept of taking pleasure in other people's misfortunes, you don't need to have any great comedians (left [0]) to be able to laugh. Part of the family of haha, hehe and hihi is höhö in German, which can be used as a sarcastic laugh to a particularly bad joke, halfway between a ho-ho-ho and a hehe. Also when speaking out loud, the pronunciation of lol in German is always "lol", as a word. I believe in English-speaking countries the letter by letter l-o-l is more common.
