That coat will be heavy, the beer will be warm, and he is drinking it through a straw. This man is not my enemy. He is my arch nemesis.

Can anyone who knows chinese tell me how humor works in chinese cukture? I had one girl tell me that comedians arent a thing over there
I mean, this is conflating a fifth of the humans on Earth, so you should consider this borderline misinformation, but I believe, East Asian cultures tend to take things rather literal. So, sarcasm is often not understood, and I guess comedians overplaying stories or using satire might not land as it tends to in Western cultures. I assume, it's more situational humor and absurdism.
But yeah, here in Europe, we have stereotypical German humor, stereotypical British humor etc., so you should assume that different regions in East Asia or China will have different humor, too. Maybe there's no comedians where that girl is from, but in other regions there are...
