Default Americans are stupid.

On E!'s 'Wildest TV Show Moments' they just showed a clip of 'Trigger Happy TV'. The clip of Dom Joly doing a interview befor ebeing interupted by a man in a gorilla suit - a sketch that was planned, for a sketh show.

Only Americans would think it wasn't planned and that Dom Joly was actually a real TV host.


huuuuh.

Then you were proven wrong then if you can't read it and reply sufficiently. Anyway here's a ball, go bounce it. Hopefully it won't outsmart you.

E! is typically an airhead channel from what I hear, it's got nothing but tacky Celeb reality shows and brain numbing crap like Hills and I love money (I know their MTV shows but they're just examples of the type of programming).

EDIT: I ROFL'd at the fact 11 lines of writing is all that it takes to make you give up Patrick.

Thanks folks. E! and MTV are nothing to go by, those are the trashiest channels on cable television.

and Patrick, I could make John and Edward an example of how stupid some Irish are...but, to be honest, it's not worth the effort. The US has 5 times more people than the UK, yet the UK is still able to be engrossed by US TV and produce as many Z-Listers. Ireland's claim to fame is U2, the US' is Lincoln, Einstein, JFK, MLK Jr., Rosa Parks, George Washington..the list goes on.

I accually read it just after I Posted that an agreed partly with the fact you said most shows are from America and they are good..

But Im saying how the majority of UK TV Is now fulled wih American ****,
Its nice to have a bit of both but when its ALL American and hardly any British things as there is American,
Then it starts to get on my dick!

And the way everytime theres a new version of a UK Show like the way their starting this retarded X Factor USA,
They`ll air in the UK but they DONT air X Factor UK in USA!
So why should we have their bullcrap when we already have shows that we like because their from the UK

And other retarded phrases that come from their, so they have the nerve to turn round to Anyone from the UK and say "Speak Properly"

When they cant even speak properly,

It still pisses me off how they made JK Rowling change the Name of the First Harry Potter book because Stupid little American kids wouldnt understand The Original English Title, its an English book it should have the Original Name!

Do we make them change the name of their crap TV shows that air in the UK?
No

Thats like saying to them..
"Change the name of Gossip Girl, the English dont understand the word Gossip"

I ant believe how stupid people that open these kind of threads are. Jut like you call americans stupid, thats how French people call you guys stupid. ANd when you say their humor is dumb (yet you pretty much import all the comedy series that they have, wonder why that is), they think your humor is dumb as well. Its all down to where you were raised. I have lived in both countries, and I can appreciate both humor.

GEt a *****g clue before making sweeping statements like these. The only dumbass here is you.

Hate to break it to whoever said it, but nobody, and I mean NOBODY outside America considered Einstein 'American'. Also, you shot yourself in the foot with the whole mention of the atomic bomb.

I also hate American humor. British humor is ironic, irreverent and, well, hilarious. American comedy is stupid. And unfortunately our Americanized culture eats it up. But heres a hint : Most people who watch Comedy Central over here are teens. Most people who watch Dave are adults. Our young watch the comedy America's adults watch. Most conventional American comedy shows run something along the lines of :

''Where is my birthday cake?''
''Margery left it in the car, dude!''
''With the dog?''
''Oh noes! The dog!''
''The dog! Oh noes!''

And yes, Americans on Xbox Live are retarded. And yes, I understand every country has it's dopes and smarts, but with regard to the visible exported culture and politics, America is ... well ... abhorrent. Middle class suburban America for the most part is a nightmare. Especially the conservative kind.

Just head to conservapedia and get ready to laugh. Or switch on Fox News. Gawd bless Americah! You ess ay! Whoo!

Somebody on Xbox Live once said to me ''you guys have nothing dude, we got Schwarzenegger mannn!''.

Are you from France?

NO You from London, so you wouldnt know if the French love our humour or not!

So dont make stupid Statments,

I think I know the reason why Americans dont air UK Shows in America, well they air SOME but not the good ones..

Because they know if they do CBS and ABC Would be ****ed and all the Americans would finally see how ****ing amazing our shows are!

No, it's because Americans don't get our shows. Seriously. I am not being racist, but it is provable. They cant understand them. They just don't get irony. This is common knowledge.

Then a lot of Americans are too sensitive. That's why even a lot of AMERICAN comedians like Bill Hicks had to come to England to find fame.
