It wasn't only a coed...and it surely wasn't a Romantic Comedy (that genre, besides being stupid just doesn't fit on it......Never Been Kissed was a ´Romantic Teenage Comedy....god was that bad) ...if you consider every COmedy with Romantic in it a Romantic Comedy...there'S jnot much normal Comedy left....

Only 102 000? I would have thought there were way more idiots out there.....just believe me on that...you won't get Forest Gump as a Romantic Comedy.....that wouldn't be fair...it's too good of a Film.

631,000 sites on the web think its a war film more...

I don't think its either... Is more of a comedy..Theres very little romanticness in it...

Yes indeed...it's neither a war film...it is a Life Drama ....both Tragedy and Comedy and just overall very great...but not what is a Romantic Comedy....

Oh by the way....you should have put quotation marks before and after war films.......because now you got sites that say "And then Forrest Gump went to the vietnam war.....it was a great film" ....

Same for Whirly...damn, people misusing Google to prove a poiint

I know... I did it deliberately, whirly does it alot....

I know......but he won't admit it.......

Only Monty Python thing I've ever seen was that movie they made.. Monty Python And The Holy Grail. It was good.. but I don't remember it being really hilarious or anything. Then again I was only in middle school at the time.

Monty Python fans, would you say that movie is a good representation of their other stuff too or is their other stuff much better?

Other than that I haven't really been exposed to British humor, except for Trigger Happy TV (if that counts), which I don't think is funny at all.

First of all watch it again...it is hilarious....you might just have started people quoting from that movie.....for example "Ni" ...insiders will laugh there ass of...or "It's just a Flesh Wound" ....great stuff....:"Witches are made out of Wood" by the way

The Othere stuff is certainly different...but great too....for example Meaning of laugh...its so absurd yet hilarious....Life of Brian is again a whole different thing.......

Oh and Terry Hones wrote Starship Titanic...pretty decent but just no Douglas Adams....

Trigger happy tv is a poor show...

Monty Pythons stuff Is very funny. Its different compared to there films..
Life of brian (a mick take of the life of jesus)
Monty pythons and the holy grail(mick take of the knights of the round table)
Monty pythons meaning of life(Mick take of just about everything)

There are more shows... but loads will never make it to USA... It took Office 1 year to get over there... And even then they had to remake it(????)

Check out the Monty Python series ✅ some of it is so utterly absurd yet very funny.

Almost everything we get in the US that's from the UK winds up being a remake, I've noticed 😬 kinda sucks, I'd like to be able to see more of the original stuff.

I totally forgot about Monty Python.But that is the only Brittish comedy that is funny.And maybe,just maybe,Fawlty Towers.

^^^False claim.

I find it funny that people critiquing British humour are generally Americans with no sense of it.
