Wow, a thorough analysis of possible meanings of a joke. Sorry if I ever doubted you were German!
I worked with a German guy. One day someone told a joke in the office, and we all cracked up except for the German guy. "Stefan, don't you think that's funny?" I asked. He replied, "I will laugh later."

I assume the joke was simply not funny,which happens when
  • you already know it
  • you saw the pun coming from far
  • too stupid
  • not funny
  • at someone's cost who was present
  • etc.
"I will laugh later" is a standard response meaning: "I cannot understand how you find something like this funny. It doesn't require any thought, and is far too shallow." It's politer than the alternative: "Sorry, but I'm not 4 anymore."

It's always a good idea to place a tautology in an argument. It prevents you from being refuted.

SNL's Sprockets with Mike Myers is my mental image. Favorite German sitcon: Who are you to judge? etc.

I can see you brought home the Dalmatian. What about the mulled wine?

That is so funny! There is a local stand-up comic that just presented his new one man show: Dalmatians are huge in the countryside (my translation from french).

Yannick-De-Martino-4-1024x1024.png
He does mostly one-liners and I saw an interview with him recently and he was saying that the show title comes from the joke that he was most proud of.

Now, you can find this joke easily online! That must feel like a D'Oh! moment for him! :doh:
