In my experience, English humour is also dry, sarcastic and/or satirical, it seems to be American humour that doesn't pick up on the dry jokes.
But yeah, also the language barrier hits hard.
I've found that many Germans (including me) greatly enjoy British humor. I think both are pretty similar
The British are super funny, best humor. Germans make too many puns or word plays, but i enjoy those too as a german, haha.
