The German language doesn’t work well with pun based humour. This is the kind of humour English speakers are used to.
They do but you need to be able to speak German to understand the jokes they’re making. Understandably, it’s hard to be funny in a second language.
IME German humour is often incredibly dry, deadpan or even anti-humour. In the past I’ve experienced Germans making jokes, and British people thinking they were being deadly serious. Eg. “An Irishman, a German and a Brit walk into a bar. They order beer.” Expressionless face - shit example, but you get the idea.
In my experience, English humour is also dry, sarcastic and/or satirical, it seems to be American humour that doesn’t pick up on the dry jokes.
But yeah, also the language barrier hits hard.
I’ve found that many Germans (including me) greatly enjoy British humor. I think both are pretty similar
The British are super funny, best humor. Germans make too many puns or word plays, but i enjoy those too as a german, haha.
I fully agree on the second and third point, but the first one is completely wrong.
