LONDON, - A London-based Web site said its poll of 30,000 people in 15 countries named Germans the "least funny nationality."
Social networking site Badoo.com said 30,000 users of the Web site were asked during the months of April and May to choose the funniest and least funny nationalities from a list of 15 and they chose people from the United States as the funniest and Germans as the least funny.
Ranking second on the list of the funniest nationalities were the Spanish, followed by Italians, Brazilians, French people, Mexicans and the British.
Following the Germans on the least funny list were Russians, Turks, the British and people from the United States.
"When we meet someone new, one of the first things we notice is whether they make us laugh", said Lloyd Price, Badoo's director of marketing. "Sometimes, it seems the most important thing."

The Germans may not be funny, but the British can sure make them look funny:

There is only one solution, the Germans need to invent the perfect joke telling robot in the form of a Dalek and force everyone to laugh.

Hell is where the police are German, the cooks are English, the mechanics are French, the lovers are Swiss, and it is all organised by the Italians.

The British should be near the top of funniest, IMHO. Many of the funniest TV shows and movies come from the British. This list is flawed.

I don’t know what they’re talking about, the Germans on Hogan’s Heroes were hilarious!

Math is not my strong suit, but those numbers don’t add up. the Funniest are:
US, Spanish, Italians, Brazilians, French,Mexicans, British, US and least funny are:
Germans, Russians, Turks, British and US.
That’s only ten total... They said from a list of 15.

I would say the kenyans are less funny. I am only familiar with one, but I have yet to see or hear ANYTHING funny from him, and he pisses me off on a daily basis, sometimes several times a day!

I suspect those who answered this internet poll are far from sophisticated enough to understand British humor.

I’d assume the 5 neither at the top nor the bottom were ho-hum countries like Canada. If Aussies had been on the list, they’d probably have made the top 5.

We apologise for the fault in the humor list. Those responsible have
been sacked.

Germans 'least funny nationality'
Given what happened to their country between 1914-1990, I'm not surprised.
Wasn't a hell of a lot of laughing going on.
