A Call For Humor!

While we're at it (and not yet lynched for the foreign invasion of the thread) another pun joke: In the current 1001st "reform Germany" project, allegedly everybody has to sacrifice something. So the "Bürger" will lose the last letter

Hilarious diss track, recorded 1928. Turn on autotranslate subtitles, they're accurate:

"You've been bathed too hot as a child" is an expression basically meaning the damage it did was severe and that's why you turned out so stupid.

Modern rappers could learn from this

Could be an Eminem classic Didn’t know this well known (daily at work used) expression is more than 100 year old (label says 1919)

"This 1950 Irish satire brilliantly captures the absurdity of Soviet "elections"—where results were predetermined and choice was merely theater."

Well known even in the exGDR. It doesn’t matter who votes, all that matters is who counts the votes.

*From this episode where Florian did the impossible, utter blasphemy, he has slain the almighty Yamaha FS1R, THE late 90s monster rack synth everyone wanted but no amateur could afford:

Thanks for laughing and see you next time

That demo got some good Driving Bass

This one sums it up pretty well and so funny. Sorry only in german.

Late reminiscence: In the old "Ruhrpott", Polish construction workers were hunted by authorities (Zoll) because of illegal labour. One day, a big razzia descended on an also big highrise build team. The boss grabbed his megaphone and shouted "alle Mannen runter". As they came down, the clerk spotted one hiding behind a pillar. "Und Sie?" - answer: Ich nix Alemanne, ich Pole

The usual East German election results: 97-99% for the Socialist Unity Party - "unity" as in they were the only ones

Are you serious 97%? never saw such an highly democratic result in the german democratic republic. 99,7% were standard. below that some questions were raised in the Normannen Street in Berlin.

I recall the saying going like this:
Cricket, a game played by gentlemen and watched by gentlemen
Rugby, a game played by gentlemen and watched by hooligans.
Football, a game played by hooligans and watched by hooligans.

Of course that was from a time when rugby was an amateur sport and it was more acceptable to be terribly classist

And I recall something different again.

"Rugby is a game for ruffians played by gentlemen and football is a game for gentlemen played by ruffians."

A very snobbish view because ruggah is played in public schools and football is played by working class kids.
