What the hell has that got to do with it? A three year old foreign clip
therefore unfunny?

Then you haven't seen the fabled "Dinner for One"

This is an ages old (40 years or so) sketch with Freddie Frinton and
May Warden, with him as the butler and her as a forgetful old lady who
insists on a certain pantomime of invisible people for her birthday
dinner each year.

It was filmed by Norddeutscher Rundfunk in the 60s as being the
archetypal British class-based slapstick humour.

It's shown on New Year's Eve every year on almost all TV channels, not
only in Germany but over much of the rest of Europe outside the UK.

Germans tend to be quite shocked that most people in the UK have
neither seen nor heard of it.

I saw it once, must have been mid-80s. Our teacher at the Goethe
Institut was, as you say, quite shocked to discover that we not only had
never heard of it but watched in puzzled silence.
