British humor is slap stick and silly


There are those bits, but at its best it's that and so much more.

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.


Did you know that SNL has a British counterpart and the tag in the opening sketch is aptly “Live from London It’s Saturday Night”



They can be pretty funny.

Who do the Brits imprison people for offensive speech?

A teabag telling a non-funny joke, then chuckling about it is not actually hilarious.

How do you make an old teabag laugh?

Tell him a joke when he's young.
