With the help of crowdfunding, German cartoonist Joscha Sauer produced NICHTLUSTIG (NOTFUNNY), an animated series starring his distinctive zany characters. NICHTLUSTIG—which centers on the Lemming Family—examines everyday and extraordinary situations with sarcasm, irony, and cynicism.

In Part 2 of Joscha Sauer’s irreverent animated short, Poodle is annoyed when an unexpected visitor shows up just as he and Death are about to have breakfast, the Lemming dad chatters away with an unusually quiet homeowner, and the scientists hatch a plan to recover their toilet.

NICHTLUSTIG is a cartoon by Joscha Sauer known for its crass and irreverent humor. In Part 3, an unexpected power outage leads to all kinds of confusion in the various households.

Mr. Weber finally understands what it is that Lisa wants from him – and lays down the law. Meanwhile, Dennis — furious at having been snitched on — runs off with Lisa’s diary.
