In my job, meet people from all over the world. A friend of mine is from Russia. His sense of humor is very close to mine (I am American). We enjoy the same jokes in movies and TV. I lived in Japan for 9 years and my 1st wife was from Japan. Despite the fact that the US imports Japan's physical comedy game shows, their humor is very dry. If my ex-wife tried to explain a joke, I was always waiting for the punch-line and never quite got it. In India, they do a lot of physical comedy mixed with music. I like watching British comedies, but don't find them as humorous (or maybe dryer, although still funny) as US humor. I watched the British version of the Office and laughed, but I like the US version better. I'm sure my British counterparts would feel the same about the US version. I enjoy the Red Green show out of Canada too, but again, this had its own flavor of comedy. I just wanted to discuss if anyone else had any experiences with other styles of humor in any other cultures.
