        I would have thought that membership counted as a form of verification, here.

              The implication was that Germans don’t have any sense of humor. It seems that you’ve done nothing to disillusion us of that trope.

              Nein, der Witz ist, dass Deutsche keinen Humor hätten. Das ist aber nur trizen und nicht ernst gemeint.

              In dem Fall ist’s fast noch witziger, weil du den Witz erst genommen hast. Nimm das nicht übel. ^^

                I don’t like it when people throw stereotypes around whenever they get the opportunity. You sound like you internalized the stereotype and find it funny

                  A friend had his American friend come to visit him last year and they had me over to chill.

                  At some point he told a joke that didn’t land and excused himself over nothing. So I said, completly straight faced, “Oh, I’m sorry, that was really funny, this is just how we laugh around here”.

                  It was probably funnier in the moment, but the next ten minutes was me trying to keep a straight face while he was trying to get me to laugh. We were both in on the joke and it was hysterical.

                  Like, this is by all means a dumb stereotype. But it’s pretty harmless. And if you laugh at it, it literally disproves itself.
