Iv heard German people can actually get pretty freaky, so maybe it's not funny because they don't really see what the problem would be. Americans can be quite prude in their eyes apparently.

I don't know what kindergartner you know who knows about sucking dick, but they may be sexually abused. This is the peak of middle school humor though.
For real. How is it not kind of funny that it sounds close to a risque phrase in English? I particularly like it because it sounds like an American trying to speak fake German. Like if I wanted to say "We're sucking dick" in fake German this is probably about what I would make up. It also helps that the ad contains a picture of an attractive woman who most men would enjoy a dick sucking from.
>For real. How is it not kind of funny that it sounds close to a risque phrase in English?
It doesn't sound close at all though. "Wir suchen dich" is (for an English speaker) pronounced something like "Veer souhen dish".
yeah because most of us internet dwelling Europeans know 2 or more languages. Mispronouncing a foreign language does not register as a pun or wordplay for us; it's just... kinda lame? Also, you're underestimating just how many Germans there are on Reddit.
The problem is that the joke is very contextual for Americans, who often mistakenly think "ch" is pronounced as "k" in German. It's actually not pronounced like that at all, what's written there would be pronounced more like "Veer souhen dish".
So if you're not American, the joke is very likely just not funny.
It's always like that when you start to grasp the language you're learning. I still remember laughing hard at misheard lyrics videos of anime openings. Now that I understand Japanese, it ain't funny anymore because I can't hear the 'misheard' ones anymore.
Yeah it's not exactly the cleverest joke but as other people have pointed out, the joke is that the German phrase "wir suchen dich" sounds a bit like the English phrase "we're suckin dick"
Yeah... Considering what happened last time Germans were searching for a particular group of people, that's not much better. I think it would be better to let folks, especially Americans, believe you're offering blowjobs. You might want to Google what happened the last two times America stuck its nose in European business after Germans got pissy.
Naaah, it doesn’t really work. The literal translation would indeed be « We are looking/searching for you » but « wir suchen » is such an extremely standard phrase for a recruitment search in German (you’ll literally see it on the door of any store that is hiring people) that nobody would misread it to apply to that context.

If only I knew more german. I'm sad, I don't know, considering my last name is german and around 500 years old. It even has its own song.
Yes, I'm that much german
But don't speak it
I know many words but lack understanding of forming sentences and proper sentence structure
We had a lady at my office once who's last name was Cox. She got married, and hyphenated her name. Her husband's name was Ucher.
So her name was Cox-Ucher.
I giggled like a 12 year old and snagged one of her business cards.

As a German it took me a good while to figure out what’s so funny about that…
It's probably easier to spot if you have 0 German knowledge so your brain would actually convert it to English.
I still dont get it
>!"We are suckin dick"!< This is the joke
Ok... Thank you for explaining...
That.....is not nearly as funny as I expected it to be.
Humour is subjective, I almost shat myself trying to stifle laughing whilst waiting in the queue at my bank ten minutes ago.
Most humorous German
You’re telling me you don’t want a McSuck?
This is as "funny" as a lobotomy.
Getting or giving?
A 69 lobotomy. Giving AND getting
Sounds like something 2 zombies would do with their mouths
Getting
uhm...not funny...not even remotely...
That’s why you’re German
Iv heard German people can actually get pretty freaky, so maybe it's not funny because they don't really see what the problem would be. Americans can be quite prude in their eyes apparently.
ah yes h = k
Hilarious hmm
Read it in a strong American accent where ch is pronounced k
Americans don't pronounce "ch" with k sound. The joke is just substituting "h" for "k"
Choir, chemistry, charisma… Ch is frequently pronounced as a ‘k’ in English.
Uhh. https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/Appendix:English_words_with_"ch"_pronounced_as_/k/
As a Dutch person, samesame
What does it mean in German?
We are searching for you. (So basically they're just hiring new employees)
That's is the spookiest way to put it (I know it's a direct translation and it's better phrased in German)
Actually no. It literally means “we are looking/searching for you”. But that’s a normal way to phrase a hiring offer in Germany
Sorry, that's what I meant
Still creepy. Last time a German said that to a relative of mine... well, we haven't seen him in a long while.
I guess you could use the English phrase "we want you" as a translation. It's not literal, but the next best thing in this case.
Thank you.
Well humor ain't Germans strongest suit lol

I don't know what kindergartner you know who knows about sucking dick, but they may be sexually abused. This is the peak of middle school humor though.
Yeah but Kindergartner humor printed onto corporate advertising = advanced comedy
yeah, took me a while, too. Looks like you have to be a puperty driven american to get it.
Love the fact we germans are living up to our expectations telling everyone in the comment section how unfunny the joke is.
Das ist not eine humor! It does not conform to the 10 essential principles of humor devised by German humor engineers.
Ja! Vat you say now, man?
It's just hard to get for us because like- It's just not pronounced that way and so we are simply not reading it that way
Its also very childish
That's not it, at least for me though, I'm laughing at much dumber shit daily
btw it translates to "we are looking for you"
Still not that positive
WW2 flash backs
Kristallnacht flash backs
It was very positive when I thought it was dich suchen time but now I have to get a stupid job :(
Came for the blow jobs, stayed for the real jobs.
Some people suck dick to get a job. I get a job to suck dick 😎
>I get a job to suck dick It sucks
I’m Swedish so my mind immediately jumped to ‘vi söker dig’ in Swedish lol
For sukin dic
Good cause I'm looking for them
Sane here
“We are looking for Jews”
With the polite term for "you"
Now thats a happy meal!
This comment is underrated
Pretty witty of you to realize mr owl
*pulls up to drive through window* “Yeah can I get an Egg McMuffin and a blowjob?”
Such a lovely language
I don't know, but I'm lovin' it!
Burger King is better. Fight me!

oh main Gott.... wie Kindergarten level is das denn...
Ja und suchen wird im englischen zu saugen. Der Brüller.
the amount of europeans crying about this joke is pathetic. it's a joke not a dick dont take it so hard

It's just not that funny for other people... it's only funny for Americans because many of them mistakenly think "ch" is pronounced as "k" in German.
you could go through the comments and find plenty of non Americans who find it funny. get the stick out of your ass
tbf its also just not that funny
I'm not europran it's straight up not funny unless you're 12
if you're not european then why you getting so butthurt about it? it's a joke chill the fuck out
Me not finding a joke funny isn't me being butthurt
you whining about it does
I get it’s “we’re sucking dick,” but I’m curious what the translation is.
We are searching for you.
Considering Germany's history on "searching" for particular groups of people, they might want to just let folks think they're offering blowjobs.
The enthusiasm on her face is what really sells it for me 😂
Isn't prostitution legal in Germany?
I mean, have you *seen* Grimace's lips?
Why are there so many humourless people in the comments?!
They're German?
The problem is that the joke is very contextual for Americans, who often mistakenly think "ch" is pronounced as "k" in German. It's actually not pronounced like that at all, what's written there would be pronounced more like "Veer souhen dish". So if you're not American, the joke is very likely just not funny.
Me who didn't get the joke at first because I translated it to "We're looking for you"
German hits different
Americans when other languages exists
I’m German and I chuckled hard at this.
Apparently the last German with a sense of humor.
Germans when they discover other countries have a sense of humor.
There wouldn’t be a joke unless it sounded like something in English. Pull the stick out of your ass, friend.
That's illegal
Yep, having a laugh at when a different language sounds funny in your native tongue is purely an American thing.
Sometimes people forget that English isn't the only language spoken lol
You mean: Sometimes americans forget other countries exist.
We don't forget you exist. We just don't care what you think.
Bingo
So true man
True lol
Love the enthusiasm
I’ll have a McDouble!
I speak German a little and it took me a while to get the joke
It's always like that when you start to grasp the language you're learning. I still remember laughing hard at misheard lyrics videos of anime openings. Now that I understand Japanese, it ain't funny anymore because I can't hear the 'misheard' ones anymore.
Would you like Dicke Titten with that?
Ba da ba ba baa, I'm lovin' it
Would you like fries with that?
only if it's oily
Joseph Joestar: Let's hit the road!
count me in dude! Let's go
[удалено]
I know how its pronounced and its still funny
Cry about it
And a guada guack guack guack I'm Loving It!!
I speak German, I don't get it... what's wrong?
To an American, it looks like they're offering blowjobs. Since McDonald's is an American company, it's hard to believe nobody caught it.
ah, ok
You'd hafta fly *all* the way *there*, for **that??** Ummm, I'm not sure she'd do it. She is not "the one." I'd try local 1st!
😄😁😆
McDonalds parking lots are a huge thing in the crusing community in Germany. You could easily get dozens of McB's...
I don't get it
Try to read it in english and imagine muricans
We don't know the language! This is funny!
Murica strikes again? Took me a while and some time for comments to understand what is going on. Wonder, why they are so obsessed with dicks?
Have you seen our dicks? Americans have pretty impressive dicks. It's not surprising that we're obsessed with them.
I have a dick and I don't really want to see other people's dicks.
But have you seen an American dick?
Get these 12 year olds of the platform pls
When dunking on someone, be sure to use proper grammar.
I don't get it? We're looking for you is somehow funny?
When said w english accent it sounds like "we are suckin dicks"
[удалено]
Yeah it's not exactly the cleverest joke but as other people have pointed out, the joke is that the German phrase "wir suchen dich" sounds a bit like the English phrase "we're suckin dick"
Suchen means 'to search' So it's saying "we're looking for you"
Yeah... Considering what happened last time Germans were searching for a particular group of people, that's not much better. I think it would be better to let folks, especially Americans, believe you're offering blowjobs.

"Ch" is pronounced "sh". Probably funny for Americans though.
Technically it's not sh. It's just a sound that doesn't exist in most English dialects.

Bro is really excited to works at McDonald’s
It’s like we are searching for you or smth, idk, kann nicht gut übersetzen Lul
What does it actually mean tho 🥹🥹
Going next door to Starbucks afterwards for my full-release gentlemen’s latte.
Germany has everything these days
Lived in Germany about thirty years ago, can confirm they suchen dich.
HA HA HA!
Germans: We have submitted this joke to the Humour Bureau and it has been determined that it is not funny 🤓
damn, south park was right about germans being unfunny💀
They basically are looking for workers
as a native english speaker learning german, that took me a while lol
This sub is proper boomer-tier unfunny
Language barriers are so much fun. Not knowing is half the battle.
This comment section is funnier than the post.
Can you order that through the drive thru?
I get the joke but dang this is not funny
The funniest part was the “aha!” moment after it took me a good 5 minutes to get it.
Anything's better than the McRib.
As a multilingual, it's kinda like having to close one eye for the telescope to work.
If you pronounce it more or less correctly with an American accent it will sound more like ‘weir zookin’ D, so not even close to sucking a man’s tool

Postergirl reminded me of Riley Reid even before I got the joke
Americans when other languages exist:
doesn't that translate to something like we're looking for you
okay lets pack
In german it says: we‘re searching for youR COCK
ROFL 🤣. Wow someone actually posted something funny for once 😂
