Well, I'm German.
And fricking love UK panel shows. 8oo10c, catscountdown, WILTY, Taskmaster, QI, Big Fat Quiz, HIGNFY, The last leg, ... and the standup of most of the people on these shows. And of course Monty Python is legendary.
So if I don't have a good sense of humour ... neither have you guys!
On the flip side, I also really like Mr. Bean, which seems common among Germans.
And did you know we watch "Dinner for One" every new years eve? Like that is a serious tradition in Germany.
What do you think of Henning Wehn? Do you think he's a good German comedy ambassador?
Yeah, I like him. I've actually not seen any of his solo material.
I think it's hard to judge him, because whenever he's on a panel show, there automatically will be jokes about Germany from other comedians as well. And I always enjoy those. So him being on just makes the shows better in general for me.
Nearly nobody knows "Dinner for One" in the UK. Frinton was just a one-man (or one man and one woman) show who did gigs in small theatres for tourists in some seaside towns (mostly).
Imagine my surprise when I learned that people in our twinned town North East Lincolnshire knew about him - Freddy Frinton was born there...
