Why English people don't get Dutch jokes and visa versa

I asked many times myself:
"When I make a good joke that WORKED by (eg) a Dutch person, why english people don't laugh?"And why people form the Netherlands don't laugh with some of the joke of Belguim.So, why do you think?
What is the reason? Even after translate!

They didn't understand a single word you said. Simple as that.

I think becasue the humor
is different by nation and nationI made an example
You laugh when I wrote:
"a man enter in a cafè...
..splash"
:-)and if I wrote
"if you have five apple in a hand
and 3 in the other hand. what you got?"
"big hands" :o

You got a point there, edited the first post

the joke may not work after translation, it could be dependent on some quirk of the original language, or just doesn't translate for some other reason. Plus as someone else said, humour differs between different countries, for example British humour is rather subtle and less 'slapstick' than other countries.

If it's aimed at a perticular joke, even if they understood it, they may not find it funny.Like blonde jokes and me, I seriously don't find them funny, no such thing as a real blonde around here.

Heh, I laugh at Belgium jokes.Anyways,If the joke is said in real-life, you know how it's said. If you do, you mostly laugh. If you don't, you mostly think ''Yeah.........".Got it?

Yes

Everyone who enjoys humour is schadenfroh. It's just what they like to poke fun at are different.In America, if you make Asian jokes in front of a white audience they call you racist, unless you tell them that you're Asian. Make those same jokes in front of an Asian audience and they just crack up.
