As usual, not as funny in translation, but FWIW here's an attempt:
- Bless me father, for I have sinned...
- What have you done, my son?
- I ... I farted, father.
- And?
- What do you mean, and? It's a deadly sin! Straight ticket to Hell! Eternal damnation etc etc!
- Where did you get that idea from?
- It's in the Four Commandments innit?
- Ten! Ten Commandments!
- Ten, whatever! It says, Thou shalt not fart! We did it in Religious Studies!
- Ridiculous! I'll show you what it actually says in the Ten Commandments!
[Takes out bible]
- Toss it over here, I'll check it myself. Hm, hm ... no other gods but me ... hm, hm ... false witness ... hm, hm ... covet thy neighbor's ass ... hm, hm ... you're right! Not a word about farting! I could have sworn ... anyway, never mind. So you mean I haven't actually committed a sin after all?
- Ah ... yes, that is ...
- WELL FUCK ME RIGID! I can't believe it, a stone has been lifted from my heart! I kept thinking I'd be struck down by a thunderbolt while I was sitting on the crapper! Ha ha! So I don't even have to do fifty Hail Marys or anything?
- Unfortunately not.
- Fantastic! So I won't be late then! Hallelujah! Oh by the way...
- Yes?
- There's a communion wafer stuck to your cheek.
- ... ?
- Ha! Gotcha!
- Bless me father, for I have sinned...
- What have you done, my son?
- I ... I farted, father.
- And?
- What do you mean, and? It's a deadly sin! Straight ticket to Hell! Eternal damnation etc etc!

If you're American, there is a clear dividing line by which people can be categorized: those who get the Three Stooges and those who don't. Or between men and women.
The same could probably said about Kleines Arschloch (Little Asshole). You either find it funny or you don't. I doubt there are many in between. And probably many who don't see the humor. But I do. Whether its when he's coming out of the womb, visiting elderly persons in hospitals or their homes, or putting on a school play with Asterix, Obelix and Nazis, nothing if off limits to ridicule, sexualize, or denigrate. And it's wonderful.
Often he exposes what we really think and feel on the inside. Those who admit to understanding them love this collection and the adventures to come. Those who don't worry about those who do.

Was soll ich sagen? Das kleine Arschloch wird seinem Namen mehr als gerecht: es ist einfach ein Arschloch. Die Witze funktionieren hauptsächlich über den Mechanismus "Tabubruch". Meistens zum Thema Sex und Sexualität. Oder durch das Missachten von basaler Höflichkeit und Respekt. Leider gehört auch zu diesem Buch, dass Ableismus, Homophobie, Sexismus und Rassismus für Punchlines benutzt werden. Die Witze sollen unangenehm sein und das sind sie auch. Auch wenn das Buch deutlich zeigt, dass die Haltung des kleinen Arschlochs scheiße und nicht nachahmenswert ist, bleibt es dabei, dass teilweise Witze auf Kosten benachteiligter Gruppen gemacht werden. Ich persönlich finde diesen Teil des Buchs sehr unangenehm zu lesen. Diskriminierende Witze sind nicht nur scheiße, sondern auch ultra unkreativ, weil immer auf denselben Klischees rumgeritten wird.
Ich möchte Walter Moers nicht unterstellen, dass er ein schlechter Mensch ist. Nur seine Witze in diesem Bich sind unterirdisch schlecht.
Das Buch ist in den 80ern erschienen. Ich würde mal sagen, es ist nicht gut gealtert. Wem ihr damit trotzdem eine Freude machen könnt: euren komischen Onkels, die problematische Memes auf WhatsApp posten. Außerdem ist das Buch lesenswert, wenn ihr untersuchen wollt, was vor vierzig Jahren als lustig galt.

Ein Meisterwerk der schwarzen Humors. Walter Moers beherrscht die komplette Klaviatur, sei es Gossensprache oder Akademiker-Niveau. Dazu ist es noch sehr lustig.
