    From what I understand, German people are very serious and value efficiency in the workplace above all else. Or so the common stereotype goes anyway.

      I believe German comedians have to complete a Bewerbungsformularfürakzeptablenhumor before every show and every audience member must complete a Formularzurhaftungsfreistellungfürhumor and hand in to the comedian before the show can begin at the precise time stated as detailed in the Regierungsgesetzüberhumor in Deutschsprachigenortenindeutschland

        Bewerbungsformularfürakzeptablenhumor

        That would be “Scherzereibewerbungsformular” nowadays. The old Bewerbungsformularfürakzeptablenhumor was abolished in August 2020, along with the Clownpolizei.

        If a Sherzereibewerbungsformular is approved, you get a Scherzereigenehmigung for the next 30 days, starting at the next non-holiday calendar day, good for 1x (one) Scherz per day. If you exceed that quota, you have to pay a fine to the Humorüberwachungsamt (HUA) or face jail time. Professional Scherzemacher and Sprücheklopfer are exempt from this and may get a Witzelei-Lizenz for up to one year at a time, but you need an official Dummfugdiplom for that.

        German humor is no laughing matter.

        Nobody writes Deutschsprachigenortenindeutschland nowadays. Instead everyone is using easy memorizable short abbreviation
        DtSChGTDtSchL.

      So, LPS (laughter per second) should be higher for German comedians?

        you compare the volume of carbon dioxide produced while telling the joke, vs the amount the audience produced laughing at it

          Then does optimizing means maximizing or maximizing minimizing this ratio? That is what does German comedian optimizes, the fun or the greenhouse effect?
