Do you realise that you have absolutely no sense of humour whatsoever?

Mo - you haven't checked recently, have you? We spell it "realise". I thought I should point this out to you as you are embarrassing yourself.

If you're going to insult Americans... learn how to spell moron.
Last time I checked, the English spelled "realise" with a Z not an S.

I disagree.
I`m British and watch several American (North) comedy shows ,agreed some are inane unfunny drivel ,but several - Seinfeld ,Frasier ,Friends ,Scrubs ,M*A*S*H for example - are very funny ,often hilarious.
They have a sense of humour ,they must have - Bush and reagan LOL - they just can`t deal with irony and sarcasm .
Where we in "England" beat them hands-down is in wit and satire.
As for a oft-used jibe about beating our asses in 1776 ?Do Americans like to be reminded about 1814? I seem to recall we burnt Washington to the ground ,gave them a reason to "re-decorate" a big mansion and inspired them when they wrote their anthem - "By the rockets` red-glare" anyone? LOL.
OK let me clarify one thing ,yet again ,for America :-
The "War of 1812" you keep harping on about ?Right , it may have escaped your notice ,and maybe certain American histoory books LOL ,BUT England was in the middle of a European campaign in Spain at that time ,we were fighting Napoleon`s forces (a real Army) and so consequently OUR best troops were in Spain.The Colonial garrisons were for the most part manned by our second-rate troops ,our supply lines were stretched by having to traverse the Atlantic (a BIG ocean by the way) AND you were allied to France who tended to attack our ships before they got there or blockade the harbours.
More importantly - America became a nuisance we didn`t need anymore.

Oh dear Goddess, bless you ! you mean well. Americans ? would that be from S.America or N.America? Perhaps you're referring to citizens of the U.S.ofA. Although I agree, the British sense of humour is probably the best, as evidenced by the plethora of BBC humour that's presented on TV, in the U.S.of A.
There is a greater range of types of humour in the , U.S. of A. Stand up comedy, hill-billy , computer, racist, cruel, nasty, and my favourite (yes with a "u") Robin Williams, especially his skit on Golf, with a Scot's accent no less.
But Jewish Humour from N.America excels, but that's because its' truly international.
Ah well Goddess, keep up with the crusade !

Why don't you just go have some tea and crumpets. And while you're at it, go see a dentist or an orthodontist. I mean, really, you Brits need to fix your teeth. Oh yea, have fun obeying a monarch who has absolutely no political power and any power whatsoever over you. And, yes I do have a sense of "humor" and I have "realized" it for a long time now, just like all the Americans after we kicked your sorry asses in 1776.

I notice in a lot of American films names on credits don"t begin with capitol letters! Not the way I was taught in school. Welsh and proud to be.
To Garry I am Welsh not English

When you say "Americans" does that include Canadians and people from South America? :O)~
^_~
PS I think you're right in some respects, as some of these responses, were really predictable in their defensiveness LOL.
It might have something to do with the current trend of conflating patriotism with mis/un-educated national pride.

How can you say that when your own shows, like Monty Python, Faulty Towers, Benny Hill and others have been SO popular here over the years?
