Yeah. I guess I can see that. I gotta say though. I'm not sure American humor translates well to the culture you're from. I don't think Germans like 'quirky' 'weird' 'absurd' humor.

Does comedy even exist in Germany? Name 3 German comedians. I'm curious.

No of course comedy does not exist outside of your country. Why are you even asking? Also movies and music are non-existent outside of the English speaking world.

(Also Apia did not grow up in Germany so you should give her a pass)

As a fan of comedy, I really liked this ep.

It's good to hear from the older Comedy crowd. There's a certain...unease. I like that. You could tell Jackie thrives off laughter. If he doesn't get a response; he gets ruffled. He was SO fucking consumed with getting a laugh. To me, (as a comedy fan) it translates as still being 'hungry.' He wants that laugh. He NEEDS it. Kind of beautiful. In a way.

He's yelling at Danny. Telling Keith to fuck himself for not laughing. Threatening Chemda with calling her Kem-duh. LOL. What an insecure weirdo.

Jackie is a bit much, but what a pro. I kinda sorta liked his intermittent jokes on the show, but really dig him now that he's actually been on the show. His explanation of jokes. The importance of jokes. The value. How he gives them to people like gifts. I dunno. I like that.

There's something special that occurs when you understand where a particular comedian is coming from. You 'get' his jokes more better. It's a special sort of communication. A new language.

Are you trying to Enunciated the Piffle? Because this response has all the 'Go Fuck Your Self' but little substance.

I'm not German bashing here. Your country has some of the greatest minds that ever were. However. Germany is not known for comedy.

If it is. If you have examples. Please give them. Danke.

And then what are you gonna do?
Check whether they have Letterman appearances to determine they are worthy? Read the wiki page that will list shows and awards you never heard off? Watch their YouTube videos and not understand a single word they are saying?

I could just give you Random names and it would tell you nothing in this discussion

And what a fruitful, intelligent discussion it was.

Gute. Nacht. (it's nighttime here in America. No doubt comedy is bursting at it's seams there in Germany) but here in the states. The laughter has died. I could blame your postings, but I'm going to take the higher road.

Lanfear, please. Just name these names and shut him up. (Without googling, of course.)

[Lanfear]

I like Dieter Nuhr, Konrad Beikircher and Jürgen Becker but I assume he would like Mario Barth and Stefan Raab
