German Humour

Yesterday Gord said that Germans were not funny. Well, essentially I think he is right as far as TV goes, but there are some exceptions. There was a pretty funny sketch comedy show here called Bullyparade, and it had a series of spoofs on Star Trek.

The premise is that
1) All the characters on Star Trek are super gay
2) They are all very bored, space is basically empty.

They did a bunch of these and they were often pretty funny.

The name "Unser Traumschiff" is a play on words. Star Trek in German was called "Raumschiff Enterprise" (spaceship enterprise) and Traumschiff (Dream Ship) was the local name of "The Love Boat"

Give it a look, it is moderately funny even if you don't get the text.
