The German word for "no" in this context is "keine", not "nein".
No, I'm not fun at parties. I'm German.
A German joke is no laughing matter!
How many Germans does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

(It's not funny, but it's efficient)Can confirm German attitude. I'd also say this joke does sadly not work.
English "none"? My 5 year old daughter uses none when she should use no and it's very interesting because she's usually grammatically correct when you break it down. English is stupid.
This guy germans.
Let me top that by correcting the joke:
It was an expected risk, posting a joke in a language I don't sprechen.
*spreche~~n~~
And I'm also no fun at parties. I'm German.
Username checks out. I'm Dutch.
Not OP, but the joke is fixable - when death asks the cat IF they have any lives left - and if so, how many - the cat says “nein”.
Still awkward, but at least grammatically correct!
If Germans are not fun at parties, explain this: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTs6R1AseXg&pp=ygULZ2lnYW50b2JhbGw%3D
You're a party pooper! With Jennifer.
