Listen... I love the Americans, like all nationalities we all have different characteristics both in looks and behaviour. In my job I deal with ALL nationalities, some don't say please or thank you...some never smile, some are more demanding than others...some are more laid back than others...its a cultural thing. Americans do not get our sense of humour and equally we don't get theirs.... It's not being disrespectful..it's being honest.

I disagree... But then I disagree about the over reaction to a lot of things that are seen as being 'racial' and bigoted. We are all different in our cultures and people should be able to recognise that and accept it so long as it isn't portrayed as being 'wrong' and not stated in a detrimental way.
When KH says something like...well they are American...at first you think Oh she can't say that...but then why cant she?... Americans have their ways as the British have theirs etc etc...its culture..it's different nationalities with different characteristics...

We all need to be more tolerant. Thanks for loving Americans, they are nice people too - many are descended from British ancestors and share our language and culture. Americans have a fabulous sense of humour that's why we import
American movies and commedians.

I totally agree. We do need to be tolerant but being honest about other nationalities traits and behaviour is not being disrespectful.
It upsets me that someone perceives my views as bigoted. I respect and tolerate differences in cultures, I have spent all of my working life amoungst people from all over the world...which is why I recognise how very different we all are from nationalities and even regions of our own country. People need to not get over sensitive about it...

its not honest its dishonest and it is bigotry....90% of the funniest comedians and funny shows and funny movies and funny actors come from America so for a bigot like bully Hopkins to endlessly slag all americans as lacking humour and irony is a lie a bigoted lie plain and simple

I don't think she slagged off Americans as 'lacking in humour'...she insinuates 'they don't get our humour'. If I have got that wrong then I don't and won't defend her.
I have joked with Americans and they laugh at my 'dry' humour once the penny has dropped. Take for example 'the Office'..I love that programme, but not every one does, everyone has there own humour. When the Americans created their own version I found it predictable and unfunny. The only American humour I have found brilliant is Friends..which I love more than the Office. Each to their own, we all have different takes on it. Please don't call me a bigot. It's your opinion that you think 90 per cent of movies etc from America provide us with the most humour...that's your opinion but not mine but that doesn't make me a bigot.

It's well known they don't get our humour,it's just jumped on because KH said it and it's fine apparently for Perez to diss the Brits all the time,and tell us to "suck his dick"

What exactly don't Americans "get" about British humour? It's a stereotype and an untrue one imo

I am not saying ALL Americans,but they sometimes don't get some of our words so the 'joke' doesn't come across the same,sometimes a word here can be offensive to them and vise versa.I love Americans but a lot of their humour is different to ours.

The most common thing I hear people say is that Americans don't understand Irony or sarcasm(and what I've also heard KH say too), now that is completely untrue and quite insulting, don't you think?

I saw Rich Hall (american comedian) he said the same thing, that Americans struggle with the British wit,sarcasm,irony etc but living here for a few years he got used to it and loved the British Sense of Humour.

I agree. My best friend is from Baltimore and when we get together we do a lot of laughing. Perhaps it depends where you are from in America?
