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."

Must be true because my German friend tells me jokes like this: How do Germans tie their shoes? In little Nazis.

then he laughs at his own joke even though I don't.

I’ve wondered how awful it would be to be Amish. Imagine a strict community with German men in complete control of every situation. uh!

I’m curious what countries they had on the list. Only 15?

[brytlea]

But anyway, my point was, the list seems not to make sense, well, never mind, I can’t explain.

“Vhat? Not funny, you say?”

I suppose too many countries would be unwieldy in an Internet poll. But you’re right, their results would be of increased interest with the whole list.

I don’t know, the Germans make the French roll on the floor...oh, wait...

Surprising (at least to me) is that the folks I work with from India have a delightful sense of humor but dislike any off-color humor. The ones with the best command of American-English have the mostAmerican sense if humor.
