OK. Point taken. But you Brits don't just have one type of sense of humor --there is a significant difference between the comedy of upper-class drawing room humor, and the traditional working-class music hall comedy.
We do "get" your humor...at least those television shows we see here in America; If we can understand some of your regional accents. But it is a matter of taste, and what we are used to in comedy. It is a particular type of joke-telling, or what is called here "situation comedies".It differs from your sense of humor.
So, let us just agree that funny is what you or I think of as funny.
Not better or worse. Not funny or not. Just different.

From British bulldog to poodle hey that would make a great show.
More reality than comedy sadly.

Because brits are dry, and a lot of people don't get sarcastic metaphors.
