So German humor is anti-meme?

Not Safe For Mental Health.

I first saw this video when getting my forklift license, lol. It being an official instruction video somehow makes it better.

Protection from what? Ze Germans?

Poor lighting is no laughing matter.

Zero. Efficient germans use efficient LED.

What? Do lightbulbs get stuck if you tell a joke?

How would a German joke work based on english homonyms?

these are wunderbar

These are gold, thank you for posting

That joke only works in German because "treffen" has two meanings: meet and hit.

Thank you. I'd have spent ages thinking about how that could possibly be funny.

I'm pretty sure they're just calling us gay.

Sitzen zwei Kamele im Keller und stricken Benzin. Kommt ein Schraubenzieher, läuft ein mal den Türrahmen hoch und wieder herunter und verschwindet wieder. Fragt das eine Kamel: "Du, hast du dat geseh'n?" Sagt das andere Kamel: "Jau, der is öfter hier."

Ich lerne noch Deutsch und kann den Witz zwar übersetzen aber ich verstehe er trotzdem nicht.

Edit: Grammar

Hä?

MAYBE YOU ARE ALL HOMOSEXUALS!

The forklift training video was amazing.

Henning Wehn is a weird one because he's much better known outside Germany than inside. His act of "look how funny and strange Germans are" doesn't really land in Germany, maybe a lack of self-deprecating humour?

Native speaker of German here and I am not sure about that. German tends to put verbs in the end in a lot of sentences, but apart from that, it's mostly possible to use English-like word orders in German too; I don't think the difference is significant enough that it would change the entire style of humor.

i have a dutch friend whose favorite joke is:
Person 1: knock knock
Person 2: who's there
Person 1: interrupting cow
Person 2: interrupting cow who?
Person 1: ...dammit

mine is:
two pretzels were walking down the street. one was assaulted. pretzel.
(it's funnier if you tell it in a silly voice)

German humor is fine, but much of german humor does not translate well, because it is often using puns, homophones, double entendrse or subversion of expectations, and you have to actively listen - just hearing without paying attention might result in not even realizing a joke was made. And I wouldn't say it's mean, but it is often dark and hitting where it really hurts regarding whatever goes wrong in society. I heard once that people start laughing if they can't bear the pain anymore, and a lot of german humor fits this saying well.

what is belgian humor like?

I completely disagree. The people I meet in my daily life have a very healthy sense of humour, not mean at all. And in popular media? Look at Loriot, Sebastian Pufpaff, Hazel Brugger (sure, she's Swiss, but hugely popular in Germany), Anke Engelke and Bastian Pastewka, Ladykracher in general...

How long have you lived in Germany?
