Flat jokes cause people to wrinkle their noses and laugh in equal measure.
One with a connection to Hamburg and “Lord of the Rings” is now going a bit viral.
Hamburg - flat jokes.
Anyone who is surrounded by humorous people will always hear them.
Many people turn up their noses at this and then secretly laugh anyway.
Or even tell them more.
There is hardly anything better suited for this than a platform like X (Twitter).
Where a flat joke with a connection to the North is now going a bit viral.
It garnered more than 50 shares, nearly 500 likes and several dozen comments.
“Why do Hamburgers like watching Lord of the Rings so much?
Because Elvish is spoken in it.”
Mr. Glem at X
Flat joke with a connection to Hamburg: “Why do Hamburgers like watching Lord of the Rings so much?”
You probably don't need to explain it.
Anyone who knows that the Elbe flows through Hamburg and has a basic knowledge of “Lord of the Rings” will understand him.
And of course you don't automatically find it funny.
But many people can laugh about it, as can be seen in the reactions - and also through its inclusion in the weekly flat joke collection at twitterperlen.de.
X-User is happy about reactions to his Hamburg joke
The user Mr. Glem, who published the gag, is happy about the positive feedback.
“According to the numbers, you missed me a little bit here,” he writes.
In fact, aside from retweets, it was his first posting in several weeks.
“You don’t hear anything about this for ages, and then this. As soon as Gladbach plays cheese, the gentleman has time for us again,” jokes one user.
Others just throw themselves away.
“A tweet to kneel down,” it says.
“I think it’s kind of cute,” “Hihi,” “Ouch.
“Nice thing” and “Then also in Dresden and Magdeburg, among other places?” write others.
“Ouch... that hurt,” says another user – somehow the point of flat jokes.
Another invents an English version: “You can work with that.
Why do people from Memphis love watching Lord of the Rings?
Elvish spoken.” Even celebrities like flat jokes – Kai Pflaume once showed that.
