You don't have to understand German to laugh, though if you do it is even more funny, like the time when the noodle is on his nose and he says "Say something. Tell me you don't like my nose, but say something".
Or at one zime he says: You feel something is there, don't you? Certainly,  it is still tender/ but it can become bigger. It can grow". He is of course talking about her lofve to gim, but she is looking in horrid fascination at the noodle, imagining it to grow.
 
I ws surprised to read around Christmas that a very funny knockabout sketch , I think  called something like the Christmas Dinner  starring English comic Freddie Frinton, was shown on German TV every year as a tradition.
 
Freddie Frinton once lived a few streets from me many years ago in a relatively huge house on the corner of Whiton avenue, it is now owned by a Polish medical practice.
 
 

The Freddie Frinton sketch "Dinner For One" is shown on New Year's Eve each year. New Year's Eve would not be New Year's Eve without that sketch.

I saw Rollins' stand-up at the Download festival a few years back, and it was a) very funny and b) the tent was packed to the seams.
