Oct 19, 2009 - evolved? the us have there own style of english which came from the ENGLISH our english is the evolved version of because it progressed in the nation it was made and used for since it began

xIdaMx Says:

Oct 29, 2009 - Well, a majority of British humour requires a certain amount of intelligence/education to be fully appreciated.Which could explain why most Americans wouldn't find it funny.Theres always a hint of sarcastic dark humour which makes it even better in my opinion!

Nov 11, 2009 - painfully untrue, american comedy has its gold but on the whole i think youl find that britain wins

lickhunt Says:

Nov 11, 2009 - I think they're both the evolved version, just in different ways. Like spanish in mexico and in spain.

Dec 2, 2009 - Hurr durr. You do realize ~80% of our television here is just a knock off of other countries programs, right?

Dec 2, 2009 - America copies ALOT of televison series from the UK, as painful as it is for me to admit that being an American myself.

USTUBE4000 Says:

Dec 5, 2009 - I wholeheartedly agree. That's why I love British programs. They're like reading a well written book; terrific stimulation of the mind.

Dec 11, 2009 - pretty pompous and perhaps more importantly wrong look at something like my family or 2 pints or not going out; the glinting gems shine brightest...

Dec 23, 2009 - Bravo, encore!

saynotodrug999 Says:

Dec 25, 2009 - well i find british humour is very subtle, and listening to the new british slang will often confuse me, i find canadian comedy awesome like "trailer park boys" for alot of people it seems trashy but then u realize how much though they put into making it awesome and funny

Dec 27, 2009 - Brilliant! Only the Brits could have thought of that!

Jan 8, 2010 - I understood it just fine, and it was not funny. Also, a Brit would come on here spouting such crap. You wouldn't see that from an American, as it's not us who have a massive chip on our shoulders; otherwise known as an inferiority complex. Go do something productive, you useless prick.

youbetterbelievehah Says:

Jan 8, 2010 - Also, priding yourself on finding a certain type of "comedy" funny, and claiming it takes "intelligence/education"to understand only shows what low self-esteem you have. Oh, that, and the blatant need to insult Americans at every turn. You have serious issues...Both comments in response to xIdaMx.

xIdaMx Says:

Jan 11, 2010 - I did not mean that Americans are not intelligent...I simply meant that they tend to prefer simpler humour...as they just happen to enjoy it better.An American could have a world class education but still prefer simpler humour.I was just highlighting a cultural difference.Take a chill pill...

DanielThompson92 Says:

Jan 14, 2010 - @youbetterbelievehah sorry to get involved here but I feel the need to :). xldaMx simply means that Yanks would prefere a more slapstick or random tv show than one with clever humour.

Feb 15, 2010 - tht was the most borin 2 minuites of ma life :|if u wanny see decent brittish comedy look for chewin the fat

ErdTirdMans Says:

Feb 17, 2010 - Slapstick and random\surreal? Sounds like Monty Python to me.People need to get off this idea that Brits don't like American humor and vice versa. The only reason we have so many According to Jims and Two and a Half Mens is because we have a shitload of people and a shitload of channels. Not everything can be brilliant, sadly.
