Hilarious (in a non-funny way)

I guessed right. I live in Germany and I don’t get their humor (I’m not exactly fluent, but now I don’t have to blame it on that anymore!)

The United States hasn’t tickled my funny bone in a very long time.

BS.
The country which coined the word Schadenfreude can’t possibly not have at least a well developed warped sense of humor.

Where do the Germans keep their armies? Up their sleevies.

der Krautenland was the first one, the only one that came to my mind, just like one of those ink-blot tests.
Hey - who's got the Lutheran ping list these days? :)

By "least funny country" do you mean the country where people laugh the least or tell the fewest and worst jokes, or the country that other people don't find funny and laugh at?
Germans are notoriously humorless, but certainly the Germans in Hogan's Heros made a lot of people laugh. From Monty Python to Benny Hill Englishmen made Americans (and plenty of other people) laugh by pretending to be German (though the French always seemed to be the butt of the most and funniest jokes).

In neighboring countries.

Well ok. It is very dry, and sometimes a bit twisted - as your great example shows. But there is such order in this society, and that rules over everything. One of my daughters is always complaining that “people will always tell you everything you are doing wrong. Even strangers.” True. And another daughter’s 1st grade teacher had one HUGE complaint in the parent/teacher conference - that my daughter was too silly (great student, but too silly). I guess that’s what I see - they don’t see that a little silliness is okay sometimes - even for a 1st grader.

Understood. My wife lived in Deutchland for a couple of years and she agrees that they are a pretty tight wound people.
Humor, however, comes in many forms and subtle humor can be just as funny as a pie in the face.
