I can confirm, as an Englishman married to a German and living in
Germany, that this is the case (re: Monty Python). Whilst we're on
that subject the Fawlty Towers "Don't mention the war" (The Germans)
episode is widely loved here.
Plenty of humour is universal, word-play, for obvious reasons, isn't.
Now I'll leave you to get back to the topic.
