Brimful of Asha by Cornershop.

The title and the lyric are both “brimful of Asha”, which has a double meaning. In the singer’s native language ‘Asha’ means hope, and is also the name of an iconic Bollywood singer/dancer.

What I heard was “grim poodle basher”. Obviously it wasn’t right, but I couldn’t figure out the actual words just by listening harder.

Aremel, in Why do Germans have no sense of humour?

From what I understand, German people are very serious and value efficiency in the workplace above all else. Or so the common stereotype goes anyway.

cashews_best_nut,

I believe German comedians have to complete a Bewerbungsformularfürakzeptablenhumor before every show and every audience member must complete a Formularzurhaftungsfreistellungfürhumor and hand in to the comedian before the show can begin at the precise time stated as detailed in the Regierungsgesetzüberhumor in Deutschsprachigenortenindeutschland

Bewerbungsformularfürakzeptablenhumor

That would be “Scherzereibewerbungsformular” nowadays. The old Bewerbungsformularfürakzeptablenhumor was abolished in August 2020, along with the Clownpolizei.

If a Sherzereibewerbungsformular is approved, you get a Scherzereigenehmigung for the next 30 days, starting at the next non-holiday calendar day, good for 1x (one) Scherz per day. If you exceed that quota, you have to pay a fine to the Humorüberwachungsamt (HUA) or face jail time. Professional Scherzemacher and Sprücheklopfer are exempt from this and may get a Witzelei-Lizenz for up to one year at a time, but you need an official Dummfugdiplom for that.

German humor is no laughing matter.

TheAlbatross, (edited ) in Why do Germans have no sense of humour?

Because a lot of German humor is pun based and when the translated into English, the joke doesn’t land and so the English started this farce that the Germans ain’t funny

Germans are plenty funny, the English are the problem

cashews_best_nut,

Are you jealous of our humour?

TheAlbatross, (edited )

The Germans? Jealous isn’t the right word, but I do enjoy it. I like the joke about the vampire on the Tandem bike.

The English? Ahahaha hell no, but the pathetic englishman is a funny character for sure. The English lost their knack for comedy some decades ago and many of the modern ones are kinda just relying on shock humor that isn’t really funny and kinda just makes em seem like bigoted geriatrics yearning for glory days when they were relevant.

Liked The Mighty Boosh well enough tho.

givesomefucks,

Bruv, do you even watch British Panel shows?

TheAlbatross,

Horses for courses innit
