[rquote=2563928&tid=147453&author=ILoveMoney]i thought it was very funny, do you guys live in the UK? because this is what is called British humour and if you dont understand it your either not british or a ****[/rquote]

That is not british humour!

The only reason inneundo's are popular in this country was the fact that the film censorship in years gone by was a lot stricter, and they came up with these jokes and puns to poke at the censor. Now they are just tired old jokes with no point, the only reason people laugh in the audience is because when in a group people tend to laugh more. When your watching TV on your own you rarely laugh, but if a group of you are their you do.

British humour is typically the sad, pathetic type that struggles against all aspects of life, self-depricating, unsuccessful and a fool. THAT IS BRITISH HUMOUR NOT SMUT, whilst you can say that smut made an impact its more of a side feature. Depressing characters is what we like, not like the American successful characters. The American ones we have liked in this country (Mash, Cheers, Roseanne, Frasier, Curb Your Enthusiam) are very much in the same vein, the only real exception was Friends.

British humour is self deprecitating, its more than cheap smut
