Do the germans have a sense of humour? Here are two examples of german jokes. Make up your own mind.
Two ladies meet at the market:
-You know Mrs Eberhard has taken her two cats to a friend for the summer, you know, she is going on holiday. They are Siamese.
-Really? Siamese! Poor little animals! Where have they grown up together?
When you have stopped laughing try this one.
A mouse sees a bat through the window and says:
-Mum, come here! There’s an angel!

There's a Dutch comedian who did one performance in Germany. He made the mistake of starting with a couple of jokes about WWII. No-one laughed. After a couple of tries, he yelled: "Oh, just shoot me!"
One person in the audience got up and said:
"You're not worth the bullet."
That person was the exception to the rule that Germans have no sense of humor.
Originally posted by StrayJayA bit off topic, but it reminded me of Kirk Douglas' less famous son (whose 1st name I can't recall), who was doing a stand-up act in London.
That's probably wishful thinking. 😛

Anyway, he was rubbish, and was getting more and more exasperated as he failed to raise a laugh. Eventually, he shouted at the audience 'Do you know who I am? I'm Kirk Douglas's son!'.
Quick as a flash, someone in the audience stood up and said 'No! I'm Kirk Douglas's son' . Catching on to the Sparticus joke, soon everyone in the crowd was on their feet saying 'I'm Kirk Douglas's son!'.
Fantastic heckling!

Originally posted by missleadYou've lost me there. What's wrong with a bit of banter? If a German wants to come on and make jokes about the English that's fine by me - but I doubt I will laugh!! Your comment about WW2 seems a little OTT.

ps the difficulty some people could have with it may stem from its potential parallelism with a fairly well known phrase re-expressible as "you take the high roadent and i'll take the low roadent"
