Default British humour
Talking about humour


I actually think that American sitcoms / comedy series are far better than the Brit ones ..

I’ve liked countless American comedy series over the decades but only about 5 or 6 British ones


Better scripts / acting , everything really

America I find are hit and miss with their Comedy.

For every Parks & Recreation there's Two & A Half Men which I can only stomach every so often.

I liked Scrubs personally.

I do agree with you on Two & A Half Men, it just gets very repetitive after awhile.
