are brit's fun?

Question

very dry sence of humor or you tell me.

Answer 1

Welcome to the Cat section of the Yahoo Answers Pet Section... and thank you for your very interesting question about Brits and their dry sense of humour.

First and foremost, Brits are quite fun. In fact, in any number of international contests, Brits were ranked consistently more funny than people from Pakistan, Uruguay, New Guinea AND Singapore. Funny people, those Brits!!

Monty Python, for example, is perfect proof about how funny and fun the Brits can be!!!

Just curious, did you have a question about British cats?

Answer 2

We do have a very dry sense of humour. We are just sometimes a little reserved. Take for instance all of the shows that have been copied by our cousins across the pond - The Office, The Apprentice (funny in its own way) etc etc. What people forget is that while Brits come across as quiet, the young party generation at the moment is the best bunch of people ever. We have great cities and towns which are hotspots for nightlife - London, Leeds, Manchester, Edinburgh, Cardiff, Newcastle, York, Birmingham, and Lincoln to name a few. Our films are always of top quality (despite not having the massive Hollywood budgets) - Trainspotting, Monty Python, James Bond etc. Our comedians are the funniest in the world Peter Kay, Lee Evans, etc- did you know Sayid on Lost is actually a stand up comedian? Some of our TV is second to none, with presenters like Stephen Fry, Jonothan Ross, Russell Brand and Jeremy Clarkson.

Fun - we are fun personified!!! Now where's my crossword?

Ah, the British sense of humour. Supposedly there is nothing like it in the world, but then, so says every other nation about their own culture of laughter. I would suggest that there is only a slight difference between different senses of humours, and that people only suppose a 'distinct' difference because they do not understand the language or culture.

For example, Monty Python "is perfect proof about how funny and fun the Brits can be" (to quote another reply). Monty Python was translated and performed very successfully by a group of French comedians/actors at Edinburgh and in London (and they might have toured with it). The Office, another fine example of British humour, is very close to French farce.

As for Brits, yeah, most of us are fun. Her in number 49 shouts at the kids who kick the ball against her wall, and him with the big black door really should stop going around with a face like thunder, but on the whole Brits are generally as fun/humorous as everyone else

First this is the CAT SECTION!!!

I'm Irish and if I had to choose between US comedy and Brit comedy I would choose Brit comedy by a mile. Brit comedy is much more cleaver. I really don't understand the sterotype of the Brits being snobby. Anyone who has actually been there knows there are all sorts. I find Americans a lot more serious,dry and prude.

Answer 5

Are you talking about british cats or you just didn't care about the section you are in, looks like you don't have anything to do so that's why you started this dumb question, and no, I'm no 'brit' but who cares about their sense of humor, it's yours which is a dry one
just trying to lose points to see what happens

Answer 6

Yes Brits are fun, i am a little biased but we are fun!

I have known many Brits to be the life and soul of the party, people from all countries have a dry sense of humour and fun is different things to different people.

Fun is socially created by circumstance and resources.

Answer 7

sorry being a brit im one of the funniest people in my regular chat rooms and my sence of houmour is anythign but dry but the difference is im a scottish brit maybe thats why my houmour is so different from my fellow brits down south of the border . it tends to be the so called snobbish londoners i find arrogant and rude and arid in the houmour department , they tend to take everythign to heart and set it as a value in some weird way . but then again billy connely now hes the man for humour and he gets away with a lot more than others do maybe living in his neck of the woods has rubbed off on me .

Answer 8

I think Brits are very funny, we have a very good sense of Irony and sarcasm which is 2nd to none and we seem to be able to hold a running joke very well. Observation comedy is one that we do very well as well

Billy Connelly is a genuis and must be ranked as the best stand up ever although his shows are not as good now in the 80's and early 90's no one could touch him

Answer 9

some brits have a coarse vulgar sense of humour.

some brits have a crazy hilarious sense of humour

some brits have a tongue in cheek childish sense of humour

some brits have a dry sense of humour, clever, off the cuff that many others don't get, because they say it with a straight face.

some brits are shades of alternative humour

many brits are a combination of all of the above.

Answer 10

We're very funny, we gave the world Stan Laurel, Charlie Chaplin, The Goon show, Monty Pythons Flying Circus and Margret Thatcher nuff said?
