I have made it my business to collect as many as I can in foreign languages, too.
I have a load of French, almost all the German, a couple of Italian, and one 'regional German' from a great series they do over there with phonetically written regional dialects. (Think Oor Wullie type stuff).

It's actually quite interesting to see how they translate some of the jokes, bearing in mind a lot of them are linguistic.
