Schadenfreude - The misfortune of Hans Sauermilch

schadenfreude, s.f. Feeling of joy or satisfaction created by another person's misfortune

Can you deliver a good joke? Do it in front of a crowd? A crowd that doesn't get your sense of humor?

Our comedian, Hans, blames the culture, saying his language actually makes it difficult for non german speakers to get his jokes.

This is the challenge you need to face, being known (unfairly or not) for being too serious and unable to deliver good and funny jokes.
