German comedian?

Is that the punchline?




Although your remark is probably "inappropriate for HN", you remind me of one of my favorite series of TV commercials about some German car. They gently mocked Germans in some areas (like excessive seriousness), then ended with talking about "the things they do well, like German engineering." My mom is German and that series of commercials just had me rolling.


Did you know the Germans tried to develop a weaponized super-joke in WWII that would make enemy soldiers laugh to dead?


p.s. Here is the corresponding documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdWGlJrG6sQ&list=RDsdWGlJrG6...
