German comedians?

Joke #1 - Take my wife - I command you. Now you will laugh.

Joke #2 - If my mother is from Hamburg and my father is from Frankfurt, does that make me a hamburger or a frankfurter? Laugh now.

What do you mean, nobody laughed? Alright, telling German humour properly may need a bit of practice. Tell the joke again. Tell it again, louder. And again! And again! Start laughing yourself, while you are still speaking. Explain the joke.
