Comment on Is this true, Germans? Would you politely chuckle at this?

Bitterly sarcastic jokes like that, certainly, because irony and sarcasm play a big role in German humour. (What else do you expect from a culture that has a word for the concept of Schadenfreude?) But the word play that makes this particular joke funny, only works in English, so not too many Germans will understand it, because it needs some level of proficiency in English to get funny word play.
