You know what thats called? A friendly rivalry. We take the piss out of Americans and burgers ect. they take the piss out of our tea and teeth. I really wouldnt dig into what you see us British people say to Americans on the internet.

If you need to compare the friendly rivalry to other countries?

France = Frogs legs and snails
Spain = Cheap booze and bulls

really? so why did brits get so offended when jerry seinfeld took the p*ss out of the royal wedding? and they did.the tv presenters and journalists went berserk. we can laugh at ourselves but were not willing for yanks to do it.

funny is only funny if 1) theres a ring of truth to it 2) theres a ring of warmth to it. if theres neither , then its not funny its mean

Who the hell got offended by that? Hardly anyone in the UK cares that much about the Royal family. The Daily Fail and The Sun probably kicked up a fuss, but thats about it.

adrian chiles and his co presenter, phillip schofield and holly, loose women, several radio presenters, getting very hot under the collar. it was quite embarassing to see this little englander mentality. for some reason it come sout more when the yanks dare take the p*ss out of us, yet we are allowed to insult them every time we open our ironic gobs

So in other words, the media? They hardly represent the British public, 9/10 people I know could give a toss about the Royal family, never mind daytime TV trash presenters (Love Schofield and Hollobooby though)

yes media mainly , take these endless shows and their celebrity guests, on radio, in papers too... i didnt hear one single british person laugh about it or actually agree that seinfeld had a point. any monarchy talk bores me to death, theyre a joke who represent nothing but a long history of rape and pillage...as for british humour, i dont think we are remotely as laisse faire and laid about laughing about ourselves as we claim we are. we get very aggressive when other nations mock us.

Because at the end of the day, no one

A) Knew
B) Give two ****s

There is much more important stuff going on other than what Seinfield said, people most likely heard about it but didn't care enough to remember because it was such a non event.
