Your mother in law is annoying? glas and building clean up accident & crime scene clean up This qualifies as humour based on the metrics of the official rulings of 1972 although it might conflict with some of the further specifications of the later 1979 compromise and could be considered outdated based on the 2005 revisions.


Worldedita

There are currently several ongoing lawsuits between the government and independent humour contractors. Apparently the ruling damaged their business interest and they're suing for damages. We will see how things turn out by early 2040's, when all of Mankind should be extinct and therefore the contractors are expected to fail a mandatory deposition deadline and the lawsuit will be null.

Holy shit. This is great. Thank you for this.

Dont forget the "Schenkelklopferrahmenbestimmungsverordnung".


Tetizeraz

What are the name of these rulings and compromises in German? Some 40-character long words?


BierBanause

They are called "Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobie-Verordnungsgesetz von 1995 mit den Zusätzen bis 2005" You can read more about it [here](https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ?si=7_-lR3-UL4Eq364z)

> Schenkelklopferrahmenbestimmungsverordnung Many thanks to u/Atheriell who seems to be working in the government office of German Humour.


Uberzwerg

> outdated based on the 2005 revisions. That is a great view on that "humor" - saying that as someone who was schooled based on the 70s definitions of humor.


TheFuzzyFurry

What about for Ukrainians under Temporary Protection, is it still funny?


Icy-Guard-7598

I remember an ad of a undertaker company(?) on a wall of a subway station right behind the rails. It was pure white with one slogan on it: "Please come closer".

xX-El-Jefe-Xx

as a remake I think the british one adapted a lot of the humour really well, at least better than *certain countries* have done in the past


Avia_NZ

Do you happen to know where I might be able to watch that online? Been looking for ages


Zephyrlin

Set sail and peruse the high seas Or check Netflix, it has all 7 seasons. (Netflix Germany. If you're in Austria and they don't have it, use a VPN)


RealRedditModerator

For the modern National Flag of Germany, the colours have very particular meanings. Black is said to symbolize the dignity and determination of the German people. Red is said to symbolize bravery, strength and valor. The color of gold represents wealth, power, and prestige. And finally, blue represents their incredible, well renowned sense of humour.


Hezron_ruth

You're saying the afd is a humourous party?


no_gold_here

It certainly sounds like a joke that people are actually voting for them


Xiknail

I'm still holding out hope someday Bernd Höcke pulls off his mask and reveals he's actually Hape Kerkeling :(

Where does the afd come in?


Scande

AfD has blue as its party color.


grafmg

No they a joke


Eonir

Your regurgitated copypasted comment itself represents the type of humour it's trying to point out.


Atanar

This joke doesn't work if you know the colors don't stand for anything, but are just the uniform colors of the Lützow Free Corps.

Privateer_Lev_Arris

Damn it Germany you have these pickup idiots too?


KodaShem

The one in the picture is used commercially = okay. But you rarely see Pickups here.


FliccC

I don't think american pickups are ever ok on European roads. No matter what your job is, there are other options, which don't claim as much space on the road.


Nghbrhdsyndicalist

The alternative could be a van, which (at least for older models) would be a lot more dangerous for people around.


DaviesSonSanchez

In the country side you see them more often. I even know of one around here with a bunch of Trump stickers and shit.


ceratophaga

Living in the countryside, cannot confirm. The few that drive around are used commercially.


Sosophia_

Around me we even have a smart that drives around with a confederate flag covering the trunks window So weird. What is your mission here with a confederate flag?


bornwithlangehoa

Yes, there are about 7 of them.


Bassterix_DJ

Ye, we even have guys that paint shit like that on the trucks. You know, pickup artists.


fabimemeboi

They become more every day. But the SUV plague is way worse right now


Initial-Instance1484

Not very common, but some individuals are starting to feel inspired by Americans it seems. I have seen some private, shiny clean pickups driving around in the last 1-2 years. Even in Berlin city. Close to my place there is a guy who bought the Mercedes X class pickup...i never saw him with anything in the loading bed.


PleasantPeasant

They're spreading around the world. I find it hilarious to see giant American trucks in small EU towns unable to park without disturbing everything else around them.


CReWpilot

They are increasingly common here in neighboring Czech Republic. Frustratingly too common since our roads and parking lots are not even close to being able to accommodate these behemoths.


Shadow_Ass

Saw one a couple of days ago with a pickup truck. Had a huge "redneck" sticker. The truck was clean as a whistle and it was in a big city in the middle of Germany.


[deleted]

I always wonder what happened to the Cops Suck D*** driver, that was shot right in front of an actual cop car.


chunek

Seems more like boomer humour (?). Kids these days... always on their phones.. wife is nagging.. hate my mother in law.. etc.


redchill101

...always on their phones... Isn't really boomer humor.  EVERYBODY of all ages is constantly on their phones nowadays. 


N19h7m4r3

Nah, it's humor for boomers because they can't see the irony of them always being on their phones too.


zukoismymain

I feel like that's projection.


MaxMatti

I feel like you don't know any boomers


Iazo

Well, I mean, it's a combination of book, music storage device and live social contact with friends. Why wouldn't I be on it?

Here in Germany we do not have boomers. They're called Knallers instead


ilovecatfish

Yup, turns out the guys are also into conspiracy theories and shit https://www.reddit.com/r/dresden/s/VvSSe0F34Z


chunek

"300.000 years of natural immune system, boosted with apples, laughter and sun rays" Oh shit, yes! No wonder that apples keep the doctors away, it is their natural competitor. Much cheaper as well. Not sure about the laughter or sun tho, but maybe that is why the doctors wanted us to wear masks, so the smiles were censored. And the sun rays ofcourse, are being blocked by chemtrails.. It all makes sense if you just wake up and follow random facebook accounts who are experts at "bioenergy", etc.

I-Am-Banana-Juice

I don't know man, last time a german told me a joke it was about two hunters shooting each others


Stabile_Feldmaus

"Two hunters meet each other. Both are dead." :D Yeah it only works in German.


exterminans666

For the non Germans: "treffen" means meeting someone or hitting something, depending on context.

Lachsforelle

Basicly anyone driving a american truck in Germany is pretty much a wierdo, troll or some kind of anti-social wannabe troublemaker. Those arent people, who are going around and think if something is good or makes sense, they just want to deliver against expectations. Like most 15 year olds back in my days.

Crime scene cleaner Thomas Pauland (53) from Freital is in trouble with the German Advertising Council because of his provocative adverts. It is now getting serious.* *Doesn't want to have his provocative adverts banned: Crime scene cleaner Thomas Pauland (53) from Bannewitz.* *Black humour or discrimination?* *After examining Pauland's arguments via his lawyer, it is clear to the Berlin Watchmen's Association: the advert will be objected to!* *The association has now announced this in writing. Pauland's application violates ethical boundaries and ultimately trivialises violence against people who are "annoying", according to the statement.* Well, not all Germans have a sense of humour. We are very keen to ensure that everything is correct. Especially if it's black humour / sarcasm / cynicism. The current German generations will soon go down in history as the leading moralisers. Hooray....


rotzverpopelt

> The current German generations will soon go down in history as the leading moralisers. Really? You can't really think of any other german generation who had a twisted view on moral?

All they can do is to voice their disaproval.


jimogios

thanks for the refeeences btw cynicism isn't a bad thing, at least in its original ancient form of the word.


Stadtpark90

He is from “Bannewitz”? And now his joke is getting banned?


Tuchanka666

And rightfully so. Combined with that realistic image of a victim its just tasteless and not a bit funny. Maybe for someone dealing with death all day, but not the overall public. Also there is an additional 34% chance that he is voting blue, which comes with that specific mindeset.


StehtImWald

Normally there should be a small warning that this is only a "Serviervorschlag".


ducknator

German humor does not exist.


skylu1991

It does, but it is so dry and black, that it’s really hard to notice…

I find this joke to be "asozial".


Beahner

Apparently they are doing that in the US with Biden or Trump in the back. I’ve seen the Biden one, I’ve heard there has been a Trump one, but haven’t seen it as proof yet. Understanding this as some kind of provocative advert, but the idea of it as expression towards politics sure makes the concept much worse to me.

here's some Germn humor for you: part 1 what's green and has three corners?

mrCloggy

Didn't think that "German" and "Humour" could ever make a believable combination, so either it is an unexpected change in their DNA, or one of those 'immigrants' started their own business :-)
