Americans should be ashamed of themselves. If you find SNL funny, you’re a dumbass and need to get snipped.

I find it depends. While American humor can certainly be crass and being offensive is definitely a line we toe. American humor focuses on life and finding humor or even making light of frustration to conjure a laugh. Where a lot of British humor or traditional British humor is far more nuanced and reliant upon pre-existing knowledge of events to comprehend. There are definitely some British comedy shows that is far less nuanced, but even on the British side those talk show style and game show style comedies are considered American-style comedy.

Who do the Brits imprison people for offensive speech?

I bet a large capita of the original settlers would be today's spectrum dwellers and England just cast them out to not deal with them anymore

We laugh at you enough to get the comedy we need, you manky count. You've been overrun by savages.

This was the golden era of SNL.

It was still pretty good in the 90s, though I didn’t watch it near as much by then. By the turn of the century, its downward spiral was in full swing.

Americans need inserted fake laughter or a live audience to tell them when to laugh. Friends makes my skin crawl.

It’s very sad and pathetic. Americans have a worse sense of humor than Germans.

I’ll substantiate the rumor that the English sense of humor is drier than the Texas sand.

Both have their positives. Not a fan of dumb, toilet or smutty humor of any origin really.

Among my top 10 Christmas movies are “A Christmas Carol Goes Wrong.” Also Nativity and Christmas Spirit goes wrong are really good. Funny Brit humor.

Set sail for England you smug limey frick. Nobody likes you on here or IRL so go laugh with your Bruvs over some shite food in a rainy miserable pub.

You should be ashamed of yourself for allowing your country to become Pakistan
