Tea time gags or poop jokes?

don't judge American humor by the idiots here. Both styles are funny but most English humor is just to dry for my taste.
I do not use the term dry as sucks just need to clarify that.

There is a distinct difference between the two. You can see that very clearly watching television comedies from both countries. The English have the ability to script in such a way as they can make you laugh because things happen to them which are not beyond belief and often happen to us all.
In the USA there is comedy as well, but it is generally aimed at the politicians or politics generally which people from other countries don't understand.
It has always been recognized that British have attained one great thing above many others and that is their ability to laugh at themselves, their work, the weather and many other minor problems which they face daily. Americans seem to take their lives too seriously, and, after all, over the past few years, they haven't had a great deal to laugh at.

Humor doesn't always translate. We might be talking the same language, but our comedy is totally different. By the way, poop jokes are juvenile
