British humour, from my experience watching various shows and movies, tends to be more dry and verbal sorts of humour, rather than slapstick comedy. The British enjoy puns, sarcasm, irony among other things. Some examples of British humor could be the british version of The Office or the Monty Python movies. American humor tends to be more slapstick and using different bodily movements and comedic messes than the subtle humour style of the British. Some examples of american humor are show such as I Love Lucy, Jerry Seinfeld, or sketch comedy such as Saturday Night Live.

For starters, The British spell Humour funny, and Off Colour Humour, forget about it.

British humour relies more on wit and timing than American humour does.

No difference. Benny Hill is dead and we think Martin Lawrence is funny.
