If even Germans start doing jokes about Nazis - even though they're unrelated to the topic at hand, it's no wonder others do so as well....

But I agree, this GEMA issue is freaking annoying.

It's not a German thing- pretty much every PRO out there is run by complete and utter cunts. GEMA just tends to be one of the worse ones (although the others are plenty bad as well).
The way they overhauled the way the GEZ operates bugs me much more actually, but the GEMA sucks pretty bad regardless.
Beh. The reason why I don't have a handy youtube access to Groenemeyer's studio version of Unbewohnt is EMI, not GEMA...

Well they both get some serious backfire from the media right now.
I hope the C3S will be successful:

Yeah, thats roughly the impression I had of those unreasonable bastards. You try to cheer somebody up and they get all offended and sad even when you do amusing impressions.

Well it kind of depends on how the joke is presented. If it seems just offensive against beeing German because you say all Germans are (still) Nazis or if it is clear that it is some joke. Well I can laugh about most of these jokes.

Oh and your link is kind of broken there is something wrong with gog had to fight with my url as well....

eh, nevermind then. tried to link the first couple results I had in my history for nazi jokes but it isn't really important.
(was kidding anyway(re the not montypython video). its just how our media here tends to portray germans for some reason. mostly this one"against being German because you say all Germans are (still) Nazis" although that more includes white brazillians than germany I guess. kinda depends on who's directing.
Like in diehard. But don't worry aside from "born lawful evil" germans in american media might also be mad scientists, or the secret scientists america kidnapped after wwii and used against the russians. So at least germans are smart. Besides only most germans kick puppies and eat babies. Some are so effeminate they're basically gay(except not gay) and obsessed with raves(they're the nice ones).
Other than that though there really aren't many other modern day germans in our tv/movies.

And all we know about your country irl is that they hate blood and wolfenstein 3d but love beer and chocolate. also we think you're landlocked but might not be entirely sure :)

still you got off better than japan. they're either batshit prewar or goofy childlike comic relief after we blew them up. sometimes they're scary creeper stalker types. thats it for japan. Also they're all ninja and pilot giant fighting robots(well even racist stuff can have [url=http://www.geekosystem.com/japanese-robot-kuratas/]truth). america depicts asains generally much like europe depicts elves/the fair folk. they look like us but their minds are completely alien and they probably have more of an orange/blue morality instead of black/white... Germans are just evil humans but at least they're human.

Its like how when our movies show the spanish civilwar the communists are always the pure orphan feeding good guys even though they were really pretty horrible on both sides all the time during that.

I don't even have a problem with the media doing that because they pretty much have to assume that you have minimal knowledge of a foreign country and use the most known stuff about it for jokes. Americans are often portrayed as the gun nut pro creationism redneck here.

The thing is in all cases it boils down to a pretty stupid form of humor. Not that that is bad since I love Family Guy for example and it is insanely dumb (and also tends to always use Nazi jokes with Germans). Also I love extreme German accents for evil guys.


For some more intelligent Fun about Germans I would recommend this:
http://matadornetwork.com/abroad/how-to-piss-off-a-german/

That stuff all is pretty much all true and since I also think most of it is stupid that means I'm probably not a good German.

that one's mostly true though. We're either liberal wackos or cowboys. At least near me.

The thing is, I'm not even German. And I don't have anything against any kind of jokes, when they are "appropriate". Humour is sometimes there just to work out stuff subconciously and that whole psycho crap (or just because :D), but incorporating Nazi jokes the whole time in issues that don't have anything to do with it isn't really smart (this doesn't necessarily refer to the OP, it's just a thought of mine...).
