Now this one REALLY doesn’t have a good sense of humor. I got two passport mate and can live anywhere I want. My goal is to spread UK and commonwealth media and shows to Americans to improve comedic literacy. I’m even starting a foundation.


break/ insert laughter background noise to let you know that you can laugh now.

We’re good on your spread. Spread your BS on a piece of toast and shove it up your arse. May your foundation crumble and your dreams fail like Yorktown.

It's the funniest show in history, so fair play.

Americans take woke stuff and make it all serious

tBrits take wokeness and make it funny (sex education)

They also have a funnier vocabulary.

American : “some chick gave me a handjob.”

Brit : “some bird wanked me off.”

British humor is strongly affected by British weather. They usually don’t know, hour to hour, what the weather will be, and it affects their whole disposition toward life. Their humor is partially a product of that. It’s why the British people tend to be whimsical, imo.

Where a lot of British humor or traditional British humor is far more nuanced and reliant upon pre-existing knowledge of events to comprehend.


Do you know Rimples and Splikket? They were the British Laurel and Hardy. Most of their stuff is timeless, but you do need to know that the Prime Minister went to Oxford not Cambridge, as the sketch implies.

America does have some good stuff. TPB if you include Canada as the 51st state and Curb your Enthusiasm isn’t bad.

SNL skits are like women.

Most are terrible. Some are ok and a few are pretty good. But then there’s that one.

If you find SNL funny,

Only a fringe part of the population thinks it is funny. I'll let you figure out what part.
