OFF TOPIC: Bouncing bomb

Imho it's quite funny. The part about women is quite off though.
German women are generally ugly and their average age is 56.
I hope I fitted to the tone of this vid with the above statement.

A typical case of cultural misunderstanding...

Having spent many years in Germany, France, USA and Canada, I have to tell you that humor is very much cultural specific. What makes a Frenchman laugh doesn't necessary work with an American.

Watching those videos first degree style gets you angry when you are on the opposite side. The German one uses a more vulgar style but that is apparently done on purpose (grotesque racist remarks creating a "2nd degree" effect).

As a general rule, refrain from this type of humor if you are not sure the other side understands the message.

Examples of cultural misunderstandings:

-1- an Englishman forms a ring with his index and thumb, meaning "great job"....the same seen by a Bavarian means " @sshole"

-2- shrugging your shoulders for a German means " I don't know", for a Frenchman it means " f... off"

-3- the American girl who starts a conversation in a crowded Metro wagon just wants to reestablish a social distance between her and the person she is facing; the French guy who is facing her thinks that she wants to get laid...

etc. etc.

Conclusion: don't try cultural specific humor in an international forum...another way to start a war and to be obliged to fight it out over the Cliffs of Dover

Sorry to the British, I assure you not many share those deep anti-British opinions like that in Wutz' video.

So so, well then you do not know that the fellow who did that video is a well known comedian? He did it in a British humor style, which even many British acknowledge in the comments on that video, but sure main thing is to be embarrassed and say you are German and such a terrible video.....I guess you go down in the cellar to laugh? Ever had a look at some British comedians? But main thing is go with the majority...fine to bash Germany, don´t say anything about the British. Wenn Du wirklich Deutsch sein solltest, dann lass Dich Ausbürgern wenn Du es in Ordnung findest das man sich lustig macht über das eigene Land Vollpfosten!

Please cool down Wutz or people will start to think that you are some kind of Troll.

I had to check myself on YouTube who was this guy making those very rude jokes. In the beginning, I thought this was some kind of Neo-Nazi: Using pictures of piles of dead from Dresden is usually their hallmark.
Apparently this comedian is just a comedian who choose to be extremely vulgar (2nd degree effect). On YouTube he is making the same kind of jokes about almost every country including Germany. Nevertheless, bad taste and extremely rude remarks can hurt people especially when you talk about royalty (which still has a sacred function). You wouldn't appreciate similar remarks about the Pope, wouldn't you Wutz?

So let's call it a day, rein in our passions and shake hands...

Ps: Is that you riding this sow? Great job, you didn't even spill the beer...

Either way this forum is no place for vulgar crap like that, joke or not, big comedian or not, English or German is no excuse.

If you want to tease the brits about how their accent sounds when they try to speak your language go right ahead no one will say anything to the contary, Or tease english culture, crack on and do it. But rest assured I will report the next person who posts something derogatory that steps over the line. I dont want to do that because I'm sure it is just the difference of what people feel is acceptable but when its moving towards degrading standards its not right from either parties.
We have to remember also that children can use this forum. I wouldnt want my children to hear that sort of thing if im honest.

He even said that if I found the video I posted funny I should ask for being stripped of my citizenship *rofl*

No wonder that people believe that Germans lack humour if all with humour are asked to drop their citizenship ...
