And if you are happy aboot that, you may very well do it......but I think aboot it more as color/colour.....but that's just me.

I quite enjoy British humor. In fact, if I had to pick a single nation to survive some global catastrophe based only on it's humor, it would be England. I enjoy intelligent humor, cynical humor, black comedy and satire. Cutting stuff. And England has had the best in my views. Be it Black Adder, Monty Python, Red Dwarf, the works of Douglas Adams, the classics like Some Mothers do have 'em or Dad's Army and a host of others. I think England has brilliant, brilliant comedy and humor. Wit in abundance.

I will also admit I am sick and tired of the endless parade of American sitcoms. Damn it, I don't find them funny. I didn't love Everybody loves Raymond. It went on far to long. Friends - bah. And all the spinoffs. Granted, the US has had some brilliant humorous pieces, MASH, the Simpson's, some Seinfeld, but in the long run I will still say England is my humorous icon. Far to much other comedy these days seems to be American Pie quality fluff. Funny perhaps the first couple of times, but the glamour wares of quickly, as does the humor, and therefore the laughs. And Rob Snider really is a spoon.

I agree with you.. I like the simpsons and friends gets old fast...I much prefer the stand up artists...

I couldn't agree more. Some of the best funny men (and women) out there are the stand ups. There is so much life and expression in a good stand up act and they can have so much creativity, which is often lost when transfered to TV.

I really like the deaf comedy jam artists.....
I haven't seen many other american standup artists.. A few have been on over here, but they arn't given that much time... there not bad thou!

British comedy in TV shows stand up is IMO very good its just a pity that most British comedy movies (that are not taken from people who do TV shows i.e Monty Python) suck.

which movies are you talking about???

movies such as Bridget Jones, Love Actually and so on IMO they are horrible

I think that many teen comedy's like American Pie are at the core romantic comedies.
