Anglo-American "jokes" about Germany are not funny
And it has literally nothing to do with Germans not being able to take a joke. It's not funny, because it reveals that you know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about us. You know nothing about our country, our people, our language and our culture.
It's like a neighbor, who only ever sees you, when you carry your groceries from your car to your home.
>there he goes carrying his filled plastic bags again
>he really loves holding them plastic bags
>one or two plastic bags again in each hand
It's maybe funny at first, because of it's absurdity, but it doesn't come from a context of friendly familiarity, where someone who really knows who you are, jokes about you. Like Monthy Python, who made jokes about the English Middle and Upper Classes, who can appreciate it "I do see his point, we can be really like that sometimes" or Mr. Bean, who can be funny without even being verbal most of the time, because he is deeply immersed and knowledgeable about English society.
But these lame "Lederhosen, Wurst and Schnitzel" or "loudly yelling in Fake-Dutch, because you keep misunderstanding our soft and gentle German CH as a harsh Dutch KRR sound" or "Hitler, goose-stepping, ORDNUNG MUSS SEIN" jokes just reveal you know absolutely nothing about us, you are not our friends and we are basically a completely alien country to you.
