A site about games and game paraphernalia and how nothing's as good as we remember it, probably because we used to inhabit a FANTASY WORLD.

Wilmersdorf eh?
That said, I'm an Austrian, and while I would still deem it inferior to British humor, Austrian humor is far funnier than the German one. Language, especially in Vienna, is much more colorful and pictorial than german German. Example: "Rotzpippn", a term for a child, literally meaning "snot faucet".
Further, Austrian humor is largely derived from human misery (one's own or another's), making it therefor funnier and at the same time explaining why the Nazis where welcomed with open arms and right-wing parties still have a field day in this nice little country.
I really need to kill a lot of time today at work ...

My god, look at the responses. It's like the funniest thing they've ever seen! I should move to Germany. I'd be the funniest person in the country, and I have absolutely no comic talent whatsoever. As the content of this post illustrates.

"I should move to Germany. I'd be the funniest person in the country, and I have absolutely no comic talent whatsoever." No, I'm afraid my dear countrymen wouldn't understand you. Even if you spoke German.
I find the further east you go in Europe, the more depressing and dark the 'humour' becomes until you eventually get behind the Iron Curtain and ''Worker & Parasite" is actually on the TV (which the entire village huddles around)
Also, surely Nazis were welcomed into Austria with open arms because it was a hometown boy done good?
mxeby: cartoon dog from the former Yugoslavia. He only has two legs and has to drag his backside around in a cart. He encounters other hilarious characters such as a diseased rat that is losing its fur, an emaciated cat and a cruel, moustachioed human in a greatcoat. The backdrop of factories and smokestacks is greatly lifted by the pounding drums and military march-style soundtrack.
And you want to compare it to our humour? Look at what sitcoms we make that get the highest ratings. "My Family"? Nuff said.
fuck you!
people are people and there are funny germans and boring brits. I've even heard that there are austrians who don't suffer from some fucking inferiority complex which leads to them having to bash germans every chance they get.
boy, am I glad, that I don't live in vienna anymore.
fucking boring bastards, every last one of them
paradox."
and what exactly would be the paradox about this?
"Also, surely Nazis were welcomed into Austria with open arms because it was a hometown boy done good?"
And also because they are a bunch of assholes with an inferiority complex ever since WW1. But they are still funnier than the Germans. And, as you might suspect by now, they don't particularly like themselves.
"And you want to compare it to our humour? Look at what sitcoms we make that get the highest ratings. "My Family"? Nuff said."
Your country spawned Monty Python which makes it the nation with the funniest TV comedy for me, regardless of the shit they might produce now (and I don't know about).
If you mean me by that, I don't have any hatred for Germans. I just don't find them funny. Like I wrote, there are lots of nice people there, some of whom are my friends. But not funny.
"I've even heard that there are austrians who don't suffer from some fucking inferiority complex"
Sorry but you don't seem to be one of them.
austrians aren't funny. do you see the problem? :(
It's a paradox based on your personal opinion (are you German or Austrian?). Anyway, I'm not claiming Austria to be the humor capital of the world. It's just that after reading Stewart Lee's article, I found the Austrian language being more suited to humor than the German one. I don't want to write anymore, this is far from funny. Yesterday I was bored and wanted to start some controversy, but today it's become tedious. I'm going into consume-only mode again.
keep up the good work! ROFL ROFL
I also like Monty Python, but for fuck's sake can we move on, please? Can't English humour be famous for something other than a deceased bloody parrot, a prat who can't walk properly, and a holy hand grenade?
Oh yeah, The Office. I forgot. Well, I'm bored of that now, too.
No, HE'S THE IMPOSTER! Oh wait, the other Nick didn't write anything about that yet.
