I like both of them!
OH my gosh!You forgot AB FAB!How you not put that on your list of English shows?Anyway I think AB Fab is the best tv of all time.And The Simspons and
and Family Guy and Futurama is great cartoon tv shows!Either way they are both great!
A question for a ny of you guys who live in England!What are the names of the channels that you have there?Are they fox five and all that stuff like we have here in america?JM 😕 💃
The only British comedies I've seen are Mr. Bean and Monty Python....I must say that Britain beats America by far! ✅ And, yes, I am American. 😕 Brits just have a way with comedy, you know? And, God, I used to love Mr. Bean! I don't know if it airs on BBC or not...I don't catch it...As for Monty Python, I just rent the movies or borrow recorded episodes from my friend. 😛 I really want to get BBC, though. I used to have it, and I loved it! Eh. Being poor sucks....
But, yeah, as for American comedy...The Simpsons, of course, have to be the best American comedy ever created. 😂 Most things on TV Land...Futurama...Family Guy...There are a few others, but yeah...I still think it's pretty sad that I've only seen two British comedies and I picked Britain over the US. 😑 Kinda sad. But, what can I say? I love the Brits. 😛
Although I'm leaning towards British, i can't deny how funny you yanks can be.
Malcolm In The Middle, South Park and Family Guy regularly have me in stitches. Friends was watchable too.
There's a common theme with TV in both regions, and that is the good stuff is always overshadowed with the crap. Why does Will and Grace still pollute our ears? Dharma and Greg? Anything with those Wayans tw*ts??
British comedy can be equally as dire. Have you seen the BBC Friday night line-ups as of late? There's a god-awful, unfunny show with Neil Morrisey which is torture to watch and just goes on and on about sex, and the jokes are really forced and fake. There's that rubbish thing with Paul O Grady about a bingo hall. There's that horrible Jasper Carrot TV show which is nowhere near funny.
We had My Family for a while which was ace, but that went wierd and unfunny when Nick left because he's such a damn good actor.
UK Gold also shows things like Dinnerladies, which is a show I'd rather forget. And the Kumars and Goodness Gracious Me are one trick ponies "oh look, we are funny because we talk Indian" who suck the big one.
Then again, those new shows of Absolutely Fabulous were the best yet, plus UK Gold makes up for the garbage by showing classics like Red Dwarf, The Office, Alan Partridge and so on. It's a brilliant channel.
Only Fools and Horses isn't really side-splitting, but it's definitely classic comedy, same goes for Dads Army.
But it is depressing to see crap like Will and Grace stinking up perfectly good airtime when brilliance such as South Park is relegated into the twilight hours.
In General I would say British, because they have generally the best stuff, and alot of classic comedy, whereas alot of the old american stuff is cheese. Although good american shows are 3rd rock from the sun, and malcolm in the middle, they can't compete with stuff like little britain, french and saunders' stuff, never mind the buzzcocks, have I got news for you, graham norton etc.
(In my opinion.)

Little Britain is awesome. Have you seen the 2nd series? My fave character is the old women eating jam, and one keeps throwing up.

British, with the exception of The Simpsons, Futurama and Beavis & Butthead, American comedies are awful and v.unfunny. But its just a matter of 'comedy taste buds'. Although in having said that there are some Brit comedies i don't like (The Office being the prime suspect), but the large majority i like and many of which i hold dear to my heart:
The Young Ones
Red Dwarf
Father Ted
Bottom
Goodnight Sweetheart
Only Fools & Horses
My Family
My Hero
Monty Pythons Flying Circus
Men Behaving Badly
Desmonds
The Goodies
Only When I Laugh
Next of Kin
2 Point For Children
Blackadder
Peep Show
The Brittas Empire
Rab C Nesbit
Mr Bean
& Randall & Hopkirk (Deceased)
I could go on forever.
