Jonas erzählt eine Geschichte — Jonas Tells a Story

They do have a sense of humour

The idea that Germans lack humour survives mostly because German humour does not translate, and because it is structured differently. Wordplay is central — German's compound-building makes puns extremely productive — and so is a dry, deadpan delivery that English speakers can miss entirely, since it is not signalled with a grin. Kabarett, political satire performed on stage, is a serious art form with its own theaters and a long tradition of getting comedians into trouble with governments. Loriot, whose sketches about German awkwardness are quoted in ordinary conversation the way Monty Python is in Britain, is probably the most beloved figure in the culture. What Germans genuinely do less of is the English habit of constant ironic understatement, and taking something seriously is not embarrassing here. The one word everyone borrows, Schadenfreude, exists because German makes compounds easily, not because the feeling is German.
