English "none"? My 5 year old daughter uses none when she should use no and it's very interesting because she's usually grammatically correct when you break it down. English is stupid.
Any time I listen to Rammstein’s song Du Hast, right before he shouts “Nein!” I like to shout questions like “How many lives does a cat have?” Or “What’s the square root of 81?”

The German word for "no" in this context is "keine", not "nein".
No, I'm not fun at parties. I'm German.

Let me top that by correcting the joke:

It was an expected risk, posting a joke in a language I don't sprechen.

Not OP, but the joke is fixable - when death asks the cat IF they have any lives left - and if so, how many - the cat says “nein”.
Still awkward, but at least grammatically correct!

How many Germans does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

Can confirm German attitude. I'd also say this joke does sadly not work.

If Germans are not fun at parties, explain this: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTs6R1AseXg&pp=ygULZ2lnYW50b2JhbGw%3D
