British Humor.....

England has Noel & Liam Gallagher. America has, well, Gallagher.

Give "The Office" a try. It's a series on BBC, i think it comes on monday at 9. I have seasons 1 and 2 and it's the funniest show on television. Way better than that "Friends" crap that it seems like everyone is in love with.

Has anyone mentioned Mr. Bean (the tv show, not that awful movie)? I saw an episode of that where he takes a baby to an amusement park and almost pissed my pants.

If you don't get Monty Python, you are really missing out.

COUPLING, maybe the best thing ever put on TV (dunno wheather this has been on air in USA though). Next best thing is american though: Ally McBeal, the first episodes.

BTW, Monthy Pyton was great.

And: I´m surprised nobody mentioned The Life Of Brian. Nobody liked that one???

Best regards

Monty Python and Benny Hill aren;t remotely comparable, although I;m not a fan of either. Monty Python was ground-breaking surreal humour. Benny Hill was a fat man being chased by scantliy clad girl )or at least, that;s the period that;s remembered today).

Most of my favourite comedy is American; Futurama, old Simpsons, Bill Hicks, Firends had its moments. The Office is pretty good. Most of my favourite stand-ups, other than Hicks, are Irish, which "for convenience sake" arguments aside just isn;t British. Which goes for Oscar Wilde, by the way.

No-one has mentioned Blackadder - great series. Best bit in Blackadder goes Forth is when he's in the trench about to go over the top, the guns stop and he says "it's over, the Great War, 1914 to 1917"
Funny and clever

Yes, Blackadder was great. I used to go to sleep listening to it an audio and consequently could recite more or less all of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th series.


"Well surely one of the crew will know how to pilot this thing."

"Crew?"

"Yes..."

"What crew?"

"I was under the impression it was customary for a ship to have a crew".

"Aaar. Opinion is divided on the subject."

"Is it."

"Yus. I say it isn't, all the other captains say it is."

"I see."
