Indiana Jones And The Dial Of Destiny: 22 WTF Moments

8. "You're German, Don't Try To Be Funny"

After Voller explains his grand plan to Indy, the two exchange some witty banter and, once Voller makes a wise-crack, Indy retorts with the pithy put-down, "You're German, Voller, don't try to be funny."

And like that, it's easy to picture millions of Germans watching this movie and exclaiming with disgust that their nation is still mocked as humourless in 2023 - no matter that Indy is of course coming from a post-war 1960s mindset.

All the same, it's a pretty funny gag in the moment, and one of Indy's more memorable quips throughout the entire movie.
