That's sadly the funniest German joke I've ever heard, I mean the punchline is there, but the set-up isn't, meaning it's closer to what I recognize as a joke than most Germanic Humor.

Edit: Nope, funnier German jokes are in this comment chain, I'm in a good mood today

It's a bit like the shortest joke: A woman comes at the doctor....

Or in German: Kommt 'ne Frau beim Arzt...

This one works well in German and English, but I assume it's untranslatable in many other languages.

Stupid questionDoes it play on the double meaning of "come" being "to arrive" and "to orgasm"?

[-] brotundspiele@sh.itjust.works 10 points 3 months ago

That. And the fact that doctor jokes have a well known scheme that's broken here, as you'd normally expect the joke to continue after the sentence.

A woman comes to the doctor and asks "Can I take a bath with my diarrhea?" The doctor answers: "Sure, if it's enough to fill the tub."

Here a joke my english teacher always told us:

What says a Saxon in New York when he wants a Christmas tree? .

A tännchen, please.

The saxon "a tännchen" sounds in english like: attention

Like 90% the "jokes" I heard growing up I couldn't translate without getting banned for racism.

Like automodded, racism. Basically the "punchline" was often the n-word.
