Arrrggghhh, sorry man I completely forgot about my promise to show you some free German media! I wrote this before in an email to a friend:

"And if you want some free (and legal) sources of German media.....
www.tvnoir.de - This is an awesome German tv show that's actually run in Berlin if you wanna pop by ^^ It happens on the first Sunday of every month and then the first part comes out online a week later, and then the second part the week after. It's really nicely run, pretty chilled and has helped me so much in finding GOOD German music which is a harder task than you might think ;)
http://www.southpark.de This link only works inside Germany, Switzerland and Austria but here you can legally stream all the episodes of South Park in perfect quality for free =)
http://www.myspass.de/ You can watch lots of German comedy here though some of it's in dodgy quality (both content and video size ^^). I would recommend you to check out Quatsch Comedy Club (a tv show where several guest stand up comedians come in each episode), Nightwash (a similar type of production but that always takes place in a laundrette to be more intimate with the audience ^^ this tends to take unknown comedians and has led to the discovery of some pretty big names like Mario Barth and Hennes Bender), Eckart von Hirschhausen live (a comedian that also tackles interesting psychological ideas), Stromberg (German version of The Office), Zwei Weihnachtsmänner and last but defintely not least Dr. Psycho which is really nicely put together. I don't know if all of these work or are in good quality on the website but I can confirm that all these shows are awesome ;)

Other sources of media that I haven't used as much but could be useful for you (I have German tv channels half the year and mostly watch DVDs) are the websites of the main tv channels:
http://www.rtl.de/ - I don't like this channel much at all, but they do occasionally have nice shows. They tend to go down the X Factor type route (Deutschland sucht den Superstar) and similarly crappy shows but I'm sure some of the shows there will be better ;)
http://www.daserste.de/ - varied and decent quality tv
http://www.zdf.de/ - I have actually used this one quite a bit and you get some nice shows, some terrible ones too but large variety and a lot of on demand television."

I hope it helps!!

Recommended German comedians:

Dieter Nuhr: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtVt5G8OuKk This is a stand up show that you can't buy so I thought it should be ok to watch it online =) I bought his 5-pack of CDs of his different stand-up shows which I found awesome!

Hennes Bender: http://www.myspace.com/hennesbender This guy is amazing!!!! I used to have listen to his album "Egal gibt's nicht" on Spotify but it doesn't work in Switzerland =( But yeah definitely recommended!!

Michael Mittermeier: http://www.mittermeier.de/ I haven't heard so much from this guy but what I have heard had me laughing on the floor! On my to-do list ;) (All the stuff on the website atm seems to be about his new book so check out the youtube videos)

Mario Barth: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BeLwGhBwkA0 Really, really well know comedian,he has his own tv show though I've mostly only seen his stand-up which is pretty nice.

This should be a nice starting point for a few laughs in German =)

Nice free German podcasts:

"Schlaflos in München" - Really nice podcasts made by a journalist
"Neueste Kinotrailer" - Translates as newest cinema trailers
"Zimmerfrei" - Nice tv show available as a podcast in which a musician has a meal with two interviewers and plays a few songs
"Quarks & Co" - Interesting science tv show available as a podcast
"Galileo" - Another tv show with variations available as a podcast, the tv show talks about pretty much anything at all but is always good quality ^^
"Wissenschaft zum Mitnehmen" - Nicely made science podcast
"NDR 1 Radio MV - Kaum zu glauben" - A short usually daily 90 second podcast of random trivia =)
"Radio Bremen - Morgenshow-Nachlese" - Nice radio talk show#
"Film Deutsche Welle" - Interesting looking podcast that I'm about to check out
"Kesslers Knigge" - Not being updated anymore but very funny!
"iLive - der Indie Video-Podcast aus Hamburg" - Not updated anymore but this was quite a nice podcast talking about the current German music scene
