This is so adorable! I'm on student exchange in Germany, and I really don't know why Germans have a reputation for being humourless. They're quite witty. I love this!

I have a degree in German literature and have studied all periods of it from the Baroque period (when the language was still in flux) to the present, and throughout history, there have not been many humorous writers in Germany. The few that existed were Jewish and they did not remain. Germans do have their own sense of humor (and I am mostly German heritage), but it is usually rather lame, compared to other cultures, such as the English. They are slowly beginning to catch up, however, but this is only fairly recently. My German relatives have no sense of humor at all.
Sowas muss man erstmal draufhaben, als Jemand, dessen Muttersprache nicht Englisch ist, vor genau einem solchen Publikum aufzutreten. Respekt!

The "postbox" thing made me giggle, not because I found it incorrect but because I find that everyone laughed because it was different than what they are used to hearing.

Respekt, dass du dich herangetraut hast den amerikanischen Humor zu treffen. Ist ja, wie man sieht gut gelungen. Ich glaube, gerade weil du den deutschen Akzent so hervorgehoben hast kam es erst richtig gut an. Denn ich glaube, dass die Amerikaner einen solch frischen und witzigen Auftritt nicht erwartet haben.
It's actually quite funny! And the German accent makes it even funnier!

Small audience close to the stage somehow always has them laughing hysterically at anything. People shout things up at performer and we all feel closer and bonded together. Comedy gives the impression of being funnier than it actually is.

Guter Auftritt und die Menschen mögen Deinen Humor...ich übrigens auch. Viel Erfolg und alles Gute, hoffe Dich noch öfters zu sehen.
the laughs in the beginning sound so staged, i thought i was watching seinfeld for a second. anywho, not my type of humour. way too flat. And don't you think it's weird to post a video of yourself claiming to "rock the audience". I mean, be a little more humble, even if you did get good reactions on this one. Good luck to you in the future, but for my part, i felt uncomfortable watching this, because it was genuinely unfunny to me. And as mentioned before, the laughs are so hysterical and weird, it just sounded like they were either tripping on shrooms or straight up paid in advance.

+Squaresoundz maybe they were laughing at the beginning, because they understood the propositions-gag. Oher than that, of course they were tripping on shrooms.
