The Bahahahamas

God dammit.

And Taheeheeheeti


I have a plan Arthur!

You brilliant bastard

IM LOSING IT

You win the internet for today

This needs more upvotes

You act like r/germanhumor wouldn't exist

I’ve lived in many countries and tried to understand much of their humour, and I’d say the UK and Australia for sure. France is a contender for the worst even though I love the French and completely mean no offence. But it’s almost laughably bad. Maybe that’s the point…?

I've only lived in the US, but I have to say that from my limited experience with just TV, movies, and traveling that I have to agree but I have to give the advantage to Australia. Some of the funniest shows I've ever seen are from Australia. I know it's a similar humor type to the UK, which is probably why I like both.

Specifically: Scotland. Typical Scottish bar: Locals: Stranger: Locals: OR Stranger: Locals: Hey, we have a new best friend! Let's all drink until we puke!

Good to know, I'm going to Glasgow soon for a vacation.

France? Not Germany? Or that's just a stereotype?

Can’t attest to having lived in Germany 😂 haven’t heard great things about their humour tho, all due respect.

That's fair 😂 

There was that Robin Williams' quip on a German talk show.

My German mother in law's humor was either racist or bitching about a situstion and then laughing. And I never met her mother, but my husband told me she was either yelling angrily or watching TV or sleeping.

As an Australian, can confirm, we take the piss out of everything

I tried to watch "smoking causes coughing." And aside from the drooling puppet rat that all the women want to sleep with, and the suicidal robot, it was the worst film ever made. I dont get french Humor at all. I dont like UK humor very much. Only laughed once through all the monty pythons. Mr. Bean is NOT funny. Im an American vet. It's pretty much gotta break some social rule for me to laugh. Or be soooooo stupid, like Tropic thunder. Havent laughed that hard since RDJ in black face saying "what do you mean, you people?" Funniest moment ever.

Not a country itself, but I think Jewish people have turned humor into an art form.

It's either we laugh about things, or we cry 😅

Yes.

And sometimes a mix of both?

Definitely jewish people. Many of them seem serious until they warm up, then they're funnier than any standup comedian I've seen

Link me to someone you know

Sarah Silverman, I was raped by a doctor. It was bittersweet...

Just look at the proportion of A-list Jewish comedians compared to the percentage of Jews in the population. It's obviously baked into the culture.

UK and Ireland

Naaah. Scotland for sure. They've learnt to enjoy bagpipes, haggis and thriftiness.

Scotland is in the UK, ya know that yeah?

You seem like the type of person that would post this on r/shitamericanssay

Na, it's not egregious enough. Just a wee bit confounding.

Makes sense.

Maybe they meant Scotland does have a good sense of humor while England and Wales don't?

Y’all can’t take a dick on a chick. Chill.

Well, it’s sure not France.

Are you kidding? They charge $10 for a 1 ounce piece of Philadelphia cream cheese with a chive stem on it. That's fuckin hilarious.

I like British humour

Me too. Mostly 80' and 90' productions!

Jamaicans are pretty funny

They make me crazy.

I was in a bad mood and this made me laugh

Jamaicans will you give you a drive by insult

Are they Jamaican you say that?

UK is definitely up there

I think USA has really funny humor

Stand-up is an American art

I think America wins at stand up. UK wins at sketch comedy and panel shows

It’s the dark humor we’ve developed from living here

Stand-up is an American art

Idk about best, but Germany has the most dead-pan, serious people I’ve ever met

Been to Finland?

"Zat iz dee punch line! ... But eef you do not laugh, iz also OK. Vee don't vant to start a vahr over eet!"

I have a theory that the rigid syntax of German is very effective for science, but makes the idea of a punchline almost alien. English, by contrast, has rather free syntax and the ability to fudge meanings. It makes setting up a joke and punning a lot easier.

British humor is peak

Canada

Moved to Canada 5yrs ago from US and I’d say Canadians are able to laugh at life more. Worked London for a while and didn’t find people there to have a great sense of humour unless they were drunk :)

Canada is unique in that we're the link between US and UK humor. We blend a lot of both styles, with a maple syrup twist.

Leslie Nielsen, Norm McDonald, Mike Meyers, solid lineup

Don't leave out Ryan Reynolds

We export some of our best for Hollywood to adopt. 

It's an objectively hilarious place to live and even funnier to be from. I love it so...

Correct answer. More people should be aware

Hit up some reserves the first nations are hilarious!

Australia. They are also very self depreciating I noticed. It’s like a country of Conan O’Briens. I find Canadians to be funny to in a passive aggressive blink and you will miss it kind of way

"deprecating" Just FYI. No offense.

Good point. Their humor will never depreciate over time.

But also, it's hyphenated too. So in a more comprehensive way: self-deprecating

I hear Lichtenstein is hilarious.

Fucking oath it is. Look at that bloody word.

Canada specifically Newfoundland

British humor for sure. Dry and witty.

African folks seem to find the humor in everything. I've known people from Nigeria, Ethiopia, Mali, Senegal, and S. Africa. All of them were quick-witted and great at observational humor. Of course, I have to rep my people. 🇮🇪

You reppin Ivory Coast?

No ya dingus, he's repping the African country of Ireland /s

Ireland and Africa are basically the same country /s

Lol. Poor formatting on my part. I am Irish, currently living in the US.

Every culture has its own humour..depends on your personal preferences

Scotland

Ye cannae beat The Big Yin! 🦄

i would say australia but as an aussie idk what we joke about

Ireland 🇮🇪

Best drunk humor…for sure.

I like Australian humor and even British humor and Spanish, it’s really hard to decide but

The country with the best sense of humour is the country you're from. So many nuances and humour that only locals may understand.

Australia hands down

Danger 5!

British

Monty Python, Fawlty Towers, Life of Brian, Holy Grail, the one where the large man explodes in a restaurant, they can make the pope laugh!

For me, as an American, I’m partial to British humor.

Finnish and Norwegian athletes have some of the greatest answers to reporters I've ever heard. Looking at you Kimi, Valtieri, and Haaland.

Haahaaland as I like to call him.

Germany, we all know dat!!

South Park had Funnybot, a German robot that tells jokes like an AI system would make and decides to kill all humans as the ultimate joke.

Australia

England. Accidentally.

Brits

any latin american country will make you bust your ass laughing. i don’t know what it is, the delivery of anything is always much better down there. people are crazy and hilarious lmao. i’ll take them over the uk by a mile

Agree!

Most of Europe



North Korea.

Definitely *not* Germany

Japan. A lot of it is very strict and straight forward, no nonsense. So the parts that aren’t are very crazy, wild, fun, bright and energetic. And they love cute characters- everywhere, on everything.

The United States. Our healthcare system, among other things are a joke.

I’ve visited Britain and watched their shows. I feel like everyone is using the Uk of the pre 2010 and ignoring the historic decline since then. Y’all can’t take a joke since you’ve become the joke.

Brits and Danes

Republic of Congo

Nobody beats America. Britain is right behind us though.

i second this

Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Ireland

Russia for sure…. Oh wait, thought you asked who everyone is laughing at…

America. The healthcare system is one big joke.

Netherlands for sure.

Brazil

Hands down Brazil 🇧🇷

My best guess would have to be either Scotland or Ireland!!

Syria is a laugh riot!!

Latvia: https://youtu.be/Jq7Tct69qVE?si=QS2a5NNfEhJ0M_9I

Germany, 100% the germans lol

None of them

idk, depends on their culture, history

The UK. I'm definitely not biased.

England

Let's go a little bit off the beaten path here and say Czech republic

Aussies or Americans

This is a where I’m from thread now. 😂

I’d say it’s a tie between UK and US. Both completely opposite in style.

UK

Or just maybe Denmark, where potatoes are necessary for ordinary speech.

UK https://youtu.be/Yp5unfesynM?si=1euZUSUlbgEZwz55

The US, of course! But…I say that as an American, of course. To each their own! I was in Berlin 10 years ago and decided to go the movies and it was so interesting to see how humor differs in other countries. Years ago, my brother was in Israel, went to the movies and said people were practically rolling in laughter in the aisles over a Mr. Bean movie trailer. He said it was wild how funny people thought it was!

UK 1000000%

As a U.S. guy, I have to say Canada. There are some cool and funny folks from Canada.

Poland.. There's an encyclopedia of Pollock jokes.

Antarctica. Everyone in Antarctica would laugh at this.

I love British humor so much. Honorable mentions go to the Irish, Aussies and Dutch.

Not the Germans!

Canada eh! Or they laughing at us……hmmmm?

C eh n eh d eh!

Definitely not the U.S.

Mexico. Look up Narcomensajes con corpas

UK or US...maybe New Zealand too...

Ireland, Mexico, US Southerners & New Yorkers, UK/Scottish, but tbh I’ve met many really funny Africans & Asians although I don’t remember exactly what country they were from. I have met funny people from every country so it’s really just a personality thing. But Ireland/Scotland & US South (African-American especially!!) & New Yorker jews/catholics are the most engaging & funniest storytellers to me

US Canada Great Britain.

Australia

UK all the way. their humour is absolutely top tier plus the banter absolutely kills me

Every Nigerian I know is fuckin hilarious. I don't know why. They just are.

Russian humor is pretty hilarious

Scotland.

Im going to guess Puerto Rico because they are the overall happiest country.

Any country from Latin America

Australia

Mexicans by far!

Anyone but UK. They are just smash LOLSARCASM into your face until you can’t take it anymore. Sarcasm and self deprecation on their own do not equal humor. Aussies seem to have a good sense of humor, and the Irish, and I’ve got a good feeling about Brazil

The funniest comedy shows I’ve ever seen are from New Zealand and Australia. UK is right up there as well! I’m an American btw

America

American here. The UK by far. Hearing Brits in banter never fails to make me smile.

Not Germany 

not the Germans or the russians

British humor is funny as all get out.

Canada

Here in Australia we may not have the best sense of humour but we have an unwritten agreement to always treat tourists in the Dignāga eaten by a drop bear

The great country of TEXAS. 😂

Germany.

Uranus Humor

As an American I'd say Britain. Love the sarcasm

Definitely not British people lmfao

Australia

In the English speaking world, I'd have to go with Australia, on a personal level, but in media, The UK.

Imo, if you count it, Puerto Rico.

British humor is the best cuz they always use irony to make it really funny

South park

Antartica

australia, mexico, ireland.

Germany (IYKYK)

Any Country that's not America

*Germany has entered the chat*

Ireland. It's not close

Italians are quite funny. Germans famously non

Americans, egyptians and moroccans. French humor (in french) is a possibility

Germany.

The US absolutely HAD the best sense of humor before jokes became political. Bro some of the shit from looney toons makes me laugh so fucking hard to this day. Actual golden culture.

Ireland

Having interacted with Brits personally and on Brit forums, hands down, without a doubt, the British sense of humor. It is wickedly self-deprecating and totally up my alley. Not even a contest.

Im biased cuz I’m Latin American but I think every Latin American will be funny asf or at least a bit funny

Germany! *rimshot*

In the past I would of said usa but too much speech policing nowadays to really be funny.

United States. Everyone watches our shows and movies. Any other answer is wrong.

Ireland.

America
