I laughed tears
Eine Kuh macht Muh,
viele Kühe machen Mühe.

One cow does make Moooh,
many cows do make alot to do.
The perfect word game.
female singular die Kuh, plural die Kühe
for Moooh is not known a plural (ha, ha!), but if there would be one, according to "Kuh, Kühe" it would logically be "Mühe".
female die Mühe (no plural like air, water, milk, honey, etc) is a real and correct written word, it means "arduousness".
At least the speech is true,
alot of cows do really make arduousness.

The origin Bauernregeln - farmers rules do have a long tradition and a serious background. They do have sense.
Example
Ist der Mai recht kühl und naß,
füllt er des Bauern Scheune und Faß.
If the May is pretty cool and wet,
he fills the farmers barn and barrel.
Every landscape got others. What in the Alps or in the Bohemian Forest is true, must not be true in northern Germany, in a flat area with other weather and clima. Collecting the speeches, could fill a book.
This movies do tell only funny speeches, do sound like Bauernregeln and sometimes they do base on real and well known Bauernregeln, but are not really Bauernregeln. To point to the many, many Bauernregeln, the movies are named by high phantasy counters, e. g. no. 7001. It is joking, in reality they are not ordered.

On the german talking page is a good collection to find, ordered after months.
There is also a chapter about the fun speeches.
