British Humor.....
Funny or not? And for the sake of simplicity let's define British as including Wales, Scotland, Ireland, etc...
Myself, I never really understood it. I thought Monty Python was boring and the Jack Benny (I think that's his name) show also fell in to the unfunny category. In my view the Brits are funniest when they are being so cool in the face of extreme adversity, not when trying to make jokes. |

Re: British Humor.....
Jack Benny wasn't British, Rochester was.
(Bee joke was hilarious.) |

Re: British Humor.....
I think its funny, but not as funny as American or Canadian humor. British humor seems to be more acting dumb humor, ya know, sort of like silly humor. The North American comics created the one liner though, the real story type humor.

Re: British Humor.....
Funny.
I never watched much Benny Hill tho. Monte Python is hilarious. But I have been accused of having a cynical, dry, and sarcastic kind of outlook. In my limited experience in England I got along OK and for whatever reason "got" the humor. |

Jack Benn, Benny Hill whatever
my mistake. I just remember some TV show with a short fat bald guy ogling the big booby chicks.

Re: British Humor.....
Rochester was married to Bertha who was kept in the attic. I think she set fire to the manse. Seems she resented the intrusion of Jane. I missed Jack Benny, though.

Monty Python makes me want to die. One of the most mindbogglingly stupid and unfunny group of movies in history. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Monty Python is hilarious.
Benny Hill is juvenile and stupid. |
