Germany: Least Funniest Country?

[cbtslave4u2]

I was just watching The Colbert Report (pronounced Col-bear Ra-por), an American political satire show. Stephen Colbert reported that a poll from Baidu said Germany is the least funny country.

Why is that so? Germans defend yourself.

FYI Baidu is a European social networking site so don't claim any American bias or anything crazy like that.

Two World Wars and one World Cup!

Just saying, it might have something to do with it

Well i don't think its the least funniest country. At least we don't have speed limit on our autobahn

As slave1987 mentioned, the two world wars, the nazi regime and several million dead people due those idiots doesnt leave room for much fun - at least from a political and historical point of view.

But for the rest, I think thats more or less a cliché - same exists for Americans from a European or German point of view as well. Question is - what do Americans (or the rest of the world - I am not sure who was addressed in that poll) know about Germany - and I mean Germany, not Bavaria.

A good source of information is this blog written by an American for his German mother-in-law: http://nothingforungood.com/

Have fun - at least I do

P.S.: This is a nice start to read - http://nothingforungood.com/2008/05/...-of-the-world/

well the wars was my initial thought but didn't want to believe it because WW2 ended almost 70 years ago. The poll was answered by Europeans, not Americans, and haven't looked at the poll. I will read those blogs soon. And I hate to admit it but I don't know much about Germany other than the wars and Angela Merkel.
