Have you ever told a joke in Danish company that fell flat because the topic was a no-go? Did the target of your humour take offence? Did you go over the line and were told to rein it in?
The Danish sense of humour has a very broad streak of irony running through it. This can sometimes make it hard for foreigners to understand Danish jokes or find them funny, but the upside is (arguably) that it means few topics are out of bounds.
