1. The internet is the best medium for sarcasm EVAR!!!!1

2. Benny Hill. Funny becuse it was sexist and retro. Even in the 80's when it came out.

3. As for Jackass, I saw Johnny Knoxville being nailed to a wall and being sprayed with shit from an industrial shredder filled with rotting fish last night. What would really be funny is if one of the stunts they pulled was to burst into his hotel room at 3am and take a claw hammer to his mouth.

In summary: British humour: You usually have to be British to get it but well, um, cheers if you're not and you do!

See? You just practically proved my point .... you stupid american. (in French accent)

Actually, the discussion pretty much started as a "my country is better than yours" argument:

And as for Brits hating Americans, I think you'll find that we, in general, hate pretty much every foreign country. It's kind of an adorable national trait ;)

I thought the only funny part of Benny Hill was when he did that one episode where he became an astronaut and ate all those chips. Oh wait, that was The Simpsons.

Stop talking about the Simpsons. They aren't as funny anymore.

The reruns will live forever. Best...show...ever!

It was just a fact I was stating with an open end waiting for people to reply with "Because Germans don't understand the concept of humour" or "Because Americans are too religious and up themselves to laugh at their own failings"

I did like Benny Hill's running away theme though. I want it played at my funeral. Which will be in two weeks.

Benny Hill didn't have to be funny, he had the right idea. He was a middle-aged man surrounded by attractive young women with whom he could carry out his perverse fetishes.
I'd like to see you guys get chased by a parade of women

So would I.

Kenny. Everett. He may have been a big jesse but hell, for random humour, he was the fecking master.

One gag I think I remember is where a guy finds another guy in his wife's cupboard, stark naked. The naked guy says something,like. "Emm I'm waiting for the Number 32 bus?"

The 32 bus then crashes through the wall. Kenny Everett gets out of the bus and says something camp. But the bus. It drives through the wall! Ha ha ha!

Occasionally (VERY!) you'll get a stereotypical British "Yeah, we had an empire once. We brought tea and curry and one language and commerce and accurate navigation to the world! Civilised them all we did!" But that is rarer than a hen's tooth. Please.

Look, in a hundred odd years Americans will be all like:

" Yeah well I remember whn we had a Macdonalds and Starbucks on every street corner! And hell yeah, where were the British when the giant robots tried to overthrow their human masters and start cornholing everyone? I'll tell you! Drinking ale and watching fecking Doctor Who, that's what!"

I'll tell you guys about the same thing with Americans thinking Canadians live in igloos. I don't know anyone who thinks that. Mostly the best place to find stupid people is outside any fast food restauraunt. You see Jay Leno always outside sometimes type of fastfood restauraunt or a place of that nature when he makes fun of stupid people. But Jay Leno is stupid himself so that negates it. I would like to rub his chin with cooking oil, though.

It's very careless to at one stage have a massive empire, and then to just somehow lose it.

To lose one empire is carelessness. To have one and threaten its existence through conventional and potentially biological and nuclear warfare is political satire.

Ha ha ha!

I don't know who that other guy is but as far as Jay Leno is concerned cooking oil won't ignite until it is well heated first, I think to about 300 degrees. Best to use napalm. Either the home-made or army surplus variety.

We kept the Falklands.

Meanwhile Tony Blair is constantly sucking up the ass of the guy who thinks this is a good idea.

Ever watch an american film about real american life and think, how do these people, so prejudice against all races and religions and sexual preference other than hetero, not just wipe themselves out?

---

I'd rather watch that than "Human Traffic".

Come to think of it, 99% of British films are shit.

First off, thanks boinky33. Now I know who that guy is.

Ha ha ha!

Second, [EDITED]

Third, have you ever been to the Falklands? It is like being in East Belfast, except with more sheep, grass, and landmines.
Imagine going to Alabama but with more sheep, but it is like an episode of Doctor Who in a force 8 gale.

If this is going to turn into some depressing thread about "We had an Empire once" then I refer you to Return Of The Jedi. Fucking EWOKS. EWOKS MOTHER FUCKERS! Shit, Luke Skywalkwer had a lightsabre but the Ewoks took out stormtroopers with rocks!

I would say "f33r l33t 3w0ks" but, you know, my voice...

We do not feel inferior to the UK. We just had other ideas. If you hadn't emptied out Wormwood Scrubs and told the Puritans to fuck of to the colonies and then taxed the living piss out of them, the US would probably still be flying under the Union Jack. America was founded on a tax dodge and it worked. Tough titty.

Speaking of admission, let's look at how chest thumpy the Brits have gotten about America since they had to give back all of their territories after WWII. Let's talk about pushy and autodidactic, shall we?

A lot of British humour is decidedly sophisticated, but a lot of American humour is, too. You just have to be American to get it.

Benny Hill is simply vaudeville. Vaudeville never died in the UK.

Of course we understand subtlety. A lot of us even get irony. It's just that sniffy, British, dismissive posturing that insists that we all must be like the people on COPS and Jerry Springer. It's amusing, but utterly false.

I am of Anglican and Irish descent, I know why America is and isn't full of shit and where. Too many Europeans relish the notion that we are all clueless fuckwits because our foreign policy is a nightmare. This labours under the delusion that we somehow actually get to tell our elected leaders what to do. How's Tony and the missus, by the way?

Canada is America lite. All the calories, half the currency. If they didn't scrunch up against our border for warmth they'd be hovering over toaster ovens to circumvent frostbite 9 months a year.

I claim this thread for the US. We have a flag. No flag, no country. It's the rules that, I, uh... just made up and I'm enforcing it with this gun that I got from my grandfather's arsenal. Thank you, grandad.

I wanted my half in the middle and I wound up on the edge.

Now THIS man proves the point! Ha ha ha!

1. You can stereotype all you want but, like it or no, America, Britain and even Canada are filled with decent human beings who understand what irony is! And, some of them write comics on StripCreator.com. Thanks God.

2. So what if our senses of humour are different? The best thing is that, occasionally, we can watch something like "Kids in the Hall" or "Bottom" or "Friends" or some other export series and laugh for our own inexplicable ethnic reasons. Bonus.

3. As for the thread, ye can have it. You see that big turd in the corner? Take an age to clean off that will. Here's the mop, good luck sonny...
