That can't be right, it just said they have no humor?

[–] [email protected] 27 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I'm actually impressed you created that one 2 years ago, I assumed you just did it for this joke.

We Germans have a very good humor actually we wrote the book aboud it. A whole compendium. Thousands of pages. The most comprehensive work you'll find. It's just not a funny book.

I can picture this very German explanation of what humour is. A technical manual on it and how to be funny, and yet not a single "lol" was had in the reading

German humour is no laughing matter.

You don’t get a “vroom” from reading a car manual, either.

I feel like there is a joke here that I am missing.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

After you've read the jokes in the book you will miss the feeling of laughing the first time you read them

book

help me get this joke please?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Im sorry I dont get it either

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

hmm, then what book are you referring to?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

whatever book they are talking about that has a whole compendium of humor, im not sure what exactly it is

The joke is that Germans love bureaucracy and design and don't do humor, as evidenced by some German chocolate my dad got at LAX that described itself as square and practical.

Ritter Sport? If so, don't forget the part where it described itself as good!

I had to look it up but that's totally it, lol

I also double checked by searching "schokolad quadratisch praktisch" and I can't believe it's a real tagline. Thank you so much Germany

Oh that's good
