Some random yes-man going "YEAH!" out of nowhere, and our stunned protaganist... poop humor. Just not funny to me, after middle school and Saved By The Bell. | ||

there are some great american comedy shows too, e.g. seinfeldt and several animated shows. but on average it's way, way inferior to british humour. in fact british humour is world reknowned for being really really funny. | ||

i think sitcoms and things of that nature are inferior in most ways to stand-ups. | ||

However Brittish humour at is prime (ex. A fish called Wanda) is also really really great. However imo Little Britain is not that great, alot of jokes fall flat to the ground imo. About standups.. Sweden got a guy called Öz or something and he's great (his standup about Norrland is top5 best standup I've ever seen) Stephen Lynch, Pablo, Cook and a few others are extremly awsome aswell. | ||

Errr NO. Humor (OR HUMOUR SHOULD I SAY) is very much subjective. What's trash to you is awesome to me and vice versa. You can't make blanket statements like british comedy is superior to american sitcoms. Trust me, if americans thought it was better execs would play british shit in america. But they don't, because americans think their shit is better. | ||
