Dude the meme game they have is on point you'd be surprised...
Germans are funnier than the average American. American humour seems to amount to claiming you own random countries and then threatening military action.

I quite enjoy Henning Wehn, especially when he appears on typically British things like (cats) Countdown or radio 4 shows like Just a Minute and I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue
Henning Wehn is a weird one because he's much better known outside Germany than inside. His act of "look how funny and strange Germans are" doesn't really land in Germany, maybe a lack of self-deprecating humour?
He does also have good schtick with "British culture / language / geography / society is stupid and confusing"

I think most English and Americans would be surprised to learn that large parts of Europe view Germans as uncultured and a bit trash. They dress poorly, can't cook and would sell their mother for some quick cash. Austrians are just Germans except fatter and with a diaper fetish.
Anywhere north of the Alps, cuisine had to function as a means of enduring the long, cold winter. Hence a lot of it is hearty stodge, without the joie de vivre one finds closer to the Mediterranean.
If Bavaria is any better, its proximity to Italy may be of credit.
Been living in Bavaria for 2 years.
Bavarians can't cook.
My trouble with Bavarian food is the flavor is entirely in the "savory" section. Would you like some buttered noodles? How about just a chicken that's been wonderfully cooked but unspiced? A friend referred to it as the kid's meal section at restaurants.
