The German sense of humour has been bred out of them over the past several centuries. That's why Benny Hill is quite popular there...

Not true!

Nice...

Looks like German gameshows don't enjoy a very good reputation... I have no idea why, as they are just cheap rip-offs of foreign concepts...

So if everyone's gameshows are cheap rip-offs of foreign gameshows, who started this entire vicious circle?

Mynok?

Spammers at it again. Never been to Australia or even have an account there. Heck they can't even spell center.

Can't they? Or is it you who can't spell centre as it's meant to be spelt?

umm, that would be spelled, not spelt.

A terrifying thought...

No, alas, game shows were here before TVs - they were on radio... which probably got them from The Stage... which got them from Minstrel Shows...

But i think we can safely blame the Etruscans, since they are no longer here to defend themselves!

When you live life in the fast lane there's no time for spellchecking.

The punchline of the reportage is: 10 years ago this would have been impossible (showing happy people on TV / men hugging each other)... Wow, they really took a big leap forward...
