Some American on here made out that we may not - never heard that before!

Maybe Americans dont get it. Funny though as my favourite comedy on TV is/was Seifled and that pretty Leftfield humour i think.

Yes it sort of on the dry side but you do have one.

Of course! I just watched Blackadder (from 1987) and laughed as much or more than when I watch the Simpsons or Family Guy or Seinfeld. I own The League Of Gentlemen series and specials on DVD--they are truly brilliant. The Sanjeev(?) talk show is quite funny. And of course, Ali G/Borat/Bruno, Are You Being Served, Keeping Up Appearances, and Father Ted (or is that one Irish?). British humour is tops!

i do no longer think of every person is being truthful! I propose specific some people do take issues a sprint TOO heavily yet so can brits! each and every individual is different and that i dont think of it concerns to lots which u . s . you come back from. and there is certain to be a different experience of humour i propose you reside almost on othere sides of an ocean! (in order that which you recognize i'm scottish)

Yes, unfortuneately sometimes a lot of the humor gets lost in the dialect (eg Benny Hill)

Yes you do, of course. It's just a bit dryer than here in the States. Actually it's a little like mine. Some people find my jokes and pranks hilarious. Others, just don't get it.

Isn't Benny Hill a Brit?

Yes - a little on the dry side at times (not that that is a problem - I like it). I loved the Young Ones, Are you being served?, Benny Hill, Monty Python......and the list goes on!

they brought distraction to the u.s. and it was sensored so much that it stop been funny. its ridiculous how people are here.
i think in the uk you have more freedom to do lots of thing on tv, i could be wrong.
i love the english humor, i think is very funny. people that dont get it is probably because they only understand shows like Roseanne.
i used to watch coupling and it was hillarious, its to bad they stop making that show. at least they dont show it here anymore. i like graham norton and his humor. how about mile high. that show is too cool!!!

Hey - Whose Line is It Anyway? is like the most hilarious show on telivision, and we stole it from you, so you guys gotta know how to be funny. Come to think of it, we steal a lot of shows from you. Interesting.
