      we have funny comedians i swear 😭 it’s just, that our bad comedians are soooo much worse than in other countries, that they overshadow any good humor.

      edit: i just realised, that we DO have bad humor. otherwise we wouldn’t have so many bad comedians. however we actually have good comedians. it’s just that they are totally outnumbered and good humor seems to be a subgenre.

        I know you do, that was perhaps a bit facetious (and lazy) of me. For instance, i find Henning Wehn hilarious, and as well as touring, he gets a decent amount of radio and TV work in my country.

        Education in Germany is utter garbage. As a result we have a shitload of basic people. These people think that the louder a comedian is, the funnier they are. And that’s why unfunny shitlords like Mario Barth fill stadiums and actually funny people like Moritz Neumeier still do small gigs.
