That's American humor for you.
Going back to topic, I fail to grasp the concept of "British humor", but, as AC said, most of my British comedy viewings are, in fact, Monty Python and Simon Pegg films.

Though, you're speaking to a lost cause regarding the Chris Morris paedophilia stuff. The man has a kid, you know?This inherently stops most people from seeing the points he made and why it's funny. I could be wrong, Imped might be one of the more rational ones.

I love a good pedophile and/or dead baby joke. What good is it being a dad if you can't make a disturbing joke every once in a while?
I've never heard of Chris Morris. Is he recommended to the likes of me? Most anyone here knows my comedy likings. If not, then just look at my lengthy profile.

He is one of the greatest satirists ever. He never flinches about what he targets in his comedy. Paedophiles, terrorists. He plays on what the media are making people hysterical with panic and paranoia about and turns the mirror on it to show how ridiculous the fear is.
If you're the type of person who finds themselves shouting at the news every time they show a story about anything even mildly incendiary then you'll find his stuff grossly offensive.
If you want to delve in at the deep end then "Brass Eye"...His series of mock documentaries is where to start. Although it was really of its time as he wrote about all the issues that were in the press daily in the UK...(think about someone in the US doing a satire comedy about paedophilia at the height of the Jesse Timmendequas case and you'll see why he's considered so offensive as the UK equivalent)
