I think there’s a kind of international exchange going on. I find more and more English people fulfilling the stereotype of the humourless German bureaucrat, whereas German humour just seems to get funnier and funnier. Sadly, the funniest parts of this sketch are untranslatable, so go and learn German.
The Framley Examiner is still one of my favourite sites ever. It doesn’t do anything, it’s not interactive, it’s not even particularly recently updated, but it still has some of the funniest spoofs on local newspapers I’ve ever seen. It has some of the most careful, sophisticated and technically brilliant humour I can think of.
Start anywhere, but the personals pages are particularly good.
And yes, I am procrastinating just a bit today.
