Karl Auer on Bayern 3
His telephone pranks are hilarious. He calls up businesses (mostly) and pretends to be an ignorant Bavarian. He always has misunderstood some basic word. For instance, he calls up the store where he bought some pepper spray, and he says he can't figure out how to season his food with it. The lady tells him it's for spraying in someone's face. He says he'll try it on his face, and before she can stop him, he screams.
I think jokes would be a great way to learn German. I like the one about the two Bauern going duck hunting. They go out early one morning before dawn, having purchased two excellent hunting dogs. They're out all day, but come back home empty-handed. The first one asks, "What went wrong?" The second answers, "Weiss nicht. Vielleicht haben wir die Huenden nicht hoch genug geworfen!"
