Sarcasm is difficult to understand when crossing any language barrier, but yes it is a popular stereotype that the Germans have little sense of humour. I work with several german clients and they don't put up with anything let's put it that way. Just Google it.
Sarcasm is basically the art of using a humorous insult to humble or rebuke someone. It isn't easy to do it right. A lot of people claim to hate sarcasm, but even they will still admire someone who does it well, with good taste and wit. That is, we often notice it only when it somehow goes wrong.
