Imagine the letter H and G would look similar. Now imagine there was a language that didn't have the letter H. People who spoke that language would post: "Hot Dog" and then go like "aaaahahaha imagine God Dog, like a god thats a dog".
Now add the fact that germans know and use the word burger regularly and do posess knowledge of the existence of different languages and that "burger" is an english word, thus pronunciation differs.
So I'd say no, not funny.
Then again I have laughed about and made jokes that made use of the similarity of burger and Bürger. But I guess the "rofl different languages"-element needs to be combined with smth more to qualify as a joke.
