Are there any good German comedies?

I know you are the movie person. I am the TV person. There is no funny German TV. None. Not hyperbole. There is literally no funny German TV shows.

To make up for this I will link to this

^^ i haven’t checked but there must be people who love to watch comedy shows as well in Germany?

I really don’t know wth is wrong with german people. I have literally never met one with a sense of humor.

German people do like funny tv. They just torrent Peep Show and WILTY.

I am a expert on this subject. There are no funny people in Germany. And as a result there is no funny TV from Germany.

Again. I watch a lot of TV from all over the world. There is no funny TV from Germany. Look, I watch so much tv from other countries I know what “Lost In Pronunciation” is. Episodes are 7 minutes long but it is pretty good.

To expand on my point that Germany has no funny TV. I have watched so much TV I have become proficient in Korean. But I still can’t find a funny show from Germany.

How much TV do you watch, John?

Well. There is this.

Note that number in the upper left. First image is 7311. Second image is 9740.

I have watched a good chunk of those. I watch a fuckton of TV from all over the world. And I will stand by my claim that no funny tv has ever came out of Germany.

We are each others antithesis. I watch no TV. None. Nothing. Zero. I haven’t watched for many years.

TV is fantastic ir you pirate it right. I haven’t seen a commercial in a decade.

^^ That’s incredible..)

The writing of the shows is mostly lousy. They are too formulaic, and I can tell you exactly what’s going to happen in the first 5 minutes. It’s boring.

There are comedic moments in Goodbye Lenin. I rated it a 7/10.

Well, no.

Coming to Merkel

Eddie Murphy fucks Angela, more of a horror comedy really.

On or inside.

I forgot about Goodbye Lenin. That was funny.

Thanks everyone. Netflix is now sending me Goodbye Lenin. Hopefully more suggestions will be forthcoming.

What about Martina Hill ?

An IMDB search for German comedies shows 9,922 titles, but is full of films that aren’t culturally German and I wonder why they appear. But some of them do look entirely German.

We’ve got a comédien in the U.K. called Henning Wehn. He’s German and very funny. Why is he working here when there seems to be a dearth of funny people in Germany?

I grew up in a Jewish household in the ‘40s, and to the best of memory we never found anything German especially amusing. But we were all movie lovers, and I do recall roaring while watching one of cinema’s great comedy-commentaries, Chaplin’s “The Great Dictator” in which Charlie’s tramp doubles as Hitler.

Just watched Goodbye Lenin.
Not really a comedy. I might have laughed once.

Yeah, it’s listed as a comedy, but I found it to be a stretch as well.

Apparently, Germans appreciate the British short comedy Dinner for One as it is aired every New Year’s Eve. It’s available on YouTube.

@Pied_Pfeffer here too.

@cazzie Oh dear. :)
