Have you ever made a joke at work, but it didn't work? Humor is a universal phenomenon but is also culturally tinted. As we can see with the case of Karl Stefanovic in 2011.

Australian morning news anchor Karl Stefanovic got the enviable chance to interview the Dalai Lama. He good-naturedly decided to share a joke about the Lama. The incident, viewed by more than a million people on YouTube, illustrates the difficulty of conveying humor in other languages.

See the video and article to better understand and feel free to share with us if you have experienced this once :)

Bonus: because we don't want your joke to fail again, here is an article on using humor in a multicultural work environment.
