Do Brits love their puns?

Question

Compared to American media the British seem to love wordplay

Answer 1

i think the american media thinks we are all stupid, so they treat us like 5 year olds. they withhold information, and make silly jokes that would leave a toddler giggling with joy. the british understand that their country is entitled to truth in media, and they also understand that with that goes a sense of maturity. they don't dumb things down, because they have respect for their citizens.

Answer 2

I think that the British sense of homour is more intelegent than american but it all comes from stereotyping, alot of people say that Americans can't understand irony but I doubt that's true.

Answer 3

Brits have a more keen,less blatantly obvious sense of humor,in general,than those of us on the western side of the Atlantic.(Or,as they spell it,'sense of humour'.)

Answer 4

The truth lies in the laugh track, or lack there of.
Hail Britannia!
