Henning Wehn is a weird one because he's much better known outside Germany than inside. His act of "look how funny and strange Germans are" doesn't really land in Germany, maybe a lack of self-deprecating humour?
German humor is super self-deprecating. I think it's more that we don't need german peculiarities explained to us. We know we're weird already.
He does also have good schtick with "British culture / language / geography / society is stupid and confusing"
