in a way that does show america...those teen sex romp party comidies are all over the place here...
americans should be feared for the most part, turely a bunch of hicks, and the backlash that comes form (i mean we INVENTED school shootings)...even david bowie is afraid of us...
anyways, when i venture off to bigger and better, i don't think i'll miss it.

I don't get Seinfeld either. The Sopranos on the other hand is worth putting up with the rest of American culture for.

lol! seinfield is great...a comedy about nothing truely...it's probably our modern sitcom verson of monty python...
but british comedy can majorly suck ass! mostly a bunch of old rich ppl either retired or working in a dept. store /w the wemen wanting sex, and the men complaining that their dicks are to shrivled, and that they don't want to because whoever's titt's are too small anyways...or that damn bean guy who's just a polite and pussified "mook" (a mook is a corporate term used to describe a "tom green" type demographic...the over abnoxious loud mouth wild dumbass male)
i did like red dwarf...i watched that series since i was very little...

the main thing is, american comedy is too high budget and the people writing it and the actos dont know jack shit about being in touch with the people, or something, but british humour is much more low budget but a hell of a lot better quality, such as alan partridge, harry hill e.t.c. they dotn have 15 dressing rooms each, a snack table and some poncy director.

i've only heard of monty python, and MAYBE faulty towers...(which i'm assuming falls under my old ppl division of british comedy)...also if british comedy was SOOOOO great, then why do us americans (who's suposed to be the scum of the earth with what's going on, and in the minds of a few board members) only show these gems on our crappiest public owned/funded stations at our crappiest hours? I mostly only see this stuff on the public broadcasting station at like 2:00 am...
doesn't that make it the crap of crap?

nope, it makes it the quality, its the same with Electronica, u dont often hear that much on the radio but we all know thats the best form of music.
or perhaps its because the american people dotn want to see that the english are wiping the floor with there over-paid actors and programmes with cheaply made fantastic comedy.
and SHUT UP about monty python? what the fuck is that thing? ive never even SEEN it. or faulty towers? what IS THAT?

actually i don't know to much about friends...i watch it here and there...but the numbers don't favor my side of the argument...that's one of the most watched shows here in america. and that's just to add to the seinfield division...their practally the same.
but in our difence...we did make simpsons...that show is totally grade a american...it's even manufactured on the backs of poor korean swaetshop animators.

The Simpsons is actually a British show and is made in the Rhondda valley in south Wales. Its marketed at aa American because the US is supposedly cooler than Wales.

thats funny, i always hear about people complaining there isnt enough electronica in america. i just get pissed at things such as friends, and the amount of money spent on it, when it really isnt that good, and when compared to stuff like harry hill, which pisses all over friends.
"well, i went down to protest about the newbury bypass, oh yeah, oh yeah man, i went down to protest....about the newbury bypass, and err, got stuck in traffic! what they need down there is some sort of ring road, or something!"
now THATS comedy genius ;-)

There seems to be a lot of anti-American sentiment on this MB. Can I just take the opportunity to say I hate the English as much as I hate the Americans.

Agreed, the American youth ( lets say, North-American youth) are generally very immature and childish ( I'm saying generally here, not everyone, so dont freak out please).
I noticed the difference right away when I was put into grade 10 here midway throughout the year after immigrating from Rotterdam, Holland.(even though this is 20 years ago).
I found the youth here kinda lost and clingy to their schools, and found them to be laughing at things that IMO were kinda ridiculous and stupid.
I noticed that things havent changed much amongst the general teenagers here.
However, I do find the youth who are more into the underground/so-called alternative scene a little more mature and have far more to say then the average kid that listens to Britney or a Christina whatever her name is.
Same with comedy, I have always found the average NBC,ABC shows ( Friends, Seinfeld, Frasier, whatever else is out there) bland and not funny at all.
I like it more crude and real , thats why I even found MARRIED WITH CHILDREN far funnier then anything else out now, cause it was a good parody of the average American family, as is the Simpsons.
I love the British Humour. Shows such as Monty Python, Fawlty towers, Are You Being Served, Chris Morris and the likes far funnier then anything else on American tv nowadays.
