The correct answer really depends on how many beers you've had, doesn't it?

If I should have got the joke - which I'm not really sure about - I don't find it very funny ...

I've opted for screamingly funny - It's a sympathy vote in the hope you were pro the hilarity of the joke.

hmmmmmm

cheers boss!!!

it's still not funny at all *sorry EB*

it wasnt really worth the effort was it?

In Germany we say you need three people for a good joke.
One who tells it, one who laughs and one who doesn't understand it.
I spoiled this one, I fear. I got it. Maybe that's why it's only mildly funny.

but the effort you put into for me was greatly appreciated.

The addendum to this is "and 2/3rds of the audience needs to be a nationality other than German."
No offence intended, but so many gags in English are pun-based so they fall over right away when translated, while others somehow just don't translate. It works the other way too - absent an in-depth cultural understanding, jokes about Ossies or Ost-Friesens tend to fall somewhat short of the mark.
That said, I did hear a decent pun-based funny in German - so, for our Teutonic friends, I give you (in appallingly-written German, natch):

That's perfectly well spelling for German, but wrong for Bavarian.
By the way, the pun you quote is Otto Waalkes. ..just in the most unlikely case you didn't encounter him in Germany yet.

..yes, indeed. They have their own Wikipedia.

nothing worse than over analysing a joke/song/fillum/programme or hairstyles as some on here do

Hab' ka Bock fuer Baerisch - Fraengisch, aber...
Ein Jahr als Pratikant in Nurnberg ("Hauptstad Fronkenwold"), bin wieder an der Uni gegangen mit bescheuerte Deutsch aber perfekt Fraengisch (servus sog'i, gornett, und alles "le" statt "chen" - maedel, mausele, bierle, p statt b usw.)

Leider haben Der Kleine Arschloch und Werner auch ein wichstiges Rolle in meine Schulung gespielt, deswegen weiss ich nie ob ich in Franken oder Hamburg.

Hamburg anytime. You mentioned your stay in Nuremburg, and how the locals weren't able to cope with the Isle of Man badge on your leathers, I remember.
Fickchinesisch for Frankonians would be "Spatzl, hupf aus'm Dirndl, I moag fruchteln!" Not exactly correct, but who gives a f*ck?

NICE!
I'm using that one in conversation soon!
