cause of the dirty sanches thread... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have some idea of English idea, but hardly any of American humour. what is it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
SNL vs Monty Python for example |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and i'm not even counting canadian humor...ie. kids in the hall |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the yanks don't know what sarcasm is |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
in that case Monty Python wins. if alone because it was much more creative at the time. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Brittish humour everytime really unless i feel goofy -A- |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Monty Python > SNL And I live in the US, ironically. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Don't forget that Terry Gilliam is American. I, personally, think us Yanks understand sarcasm. There's plenty of it here. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes and yes. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
for my dollar, stuff like on adult swim is the best comedy out there. aqua teens, space ghost, brak, sealab, futurama & family guy (yeah, i know they were fox shows, but still)... its all the dopest of the dope. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the pythons are great, but can't sustain the reputation of english humor for ever. steven wright, bill hicks, space ghost, simpsons, ren and stimpy, etc. win out. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
This all leads me to postulate that psyochological attributes of comedy programs are more relevent to their humour than their nation of origin. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh jeez, send in a spellchecker =p |
||||||||
|

|
If I made a list of the things I've smirked the most at, it would be primarily dominated by American and Canadian material. Hardly any Russians for some reason. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I really enjoy the fast show, little britain, and the office on bbc america. Funny shit. Whether it saves a nation I can't say, but they are great! |

I like middle eastern humor... those guys are misunderstood! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
If it's Monty Python vs. SNL, then definitely Brits win.. there's too much good (and bad) on both sides to decide though. I think Brit humor is usually more intelligent, but I must say laugh wise I need my low brow US comedy from time to time. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
english (without a doubt) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm still not sure what american comedy is. It varies so much. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i agree bogola. is it smarter stuff like daily show or gutter stuff like south park? theres alot of grey area in american comedy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ophecks, there is a great deal of very amusing satire from russia. i for one love old soviet political satire. |
||||||||
|

japanese comedy animé!!! those guys know what humour is all about!! |
||||||||
|
|

I like both. I like the British sarcastic piss take humour and I also like the American silly wacky humour. I have noticed that both styles have been transfered from one country to another, so things have gotten quite mixed up. I enjoy many comedies, i.e. Friends, Bo'Selecta, Ali.G, Frasier, Cheers, Monty Python, Blackadder, Bottom, Harry Enfield, The Fast Show, Coupling, Trigger Happy, Little Britian and many many more. As you can see from my list, the majority are British, so I guess I prefer the British style. p.s. The funniest films I have ever seen are 'The Naked Gun' series with Lesley Neilson. What a legend. |

I went to see Jo Jo at a place called Up The Creek, she was a not so famous Jo Brand. She commented on my frriend's 'velcrro hairr' and how much she loved it because she could just stick it on herr pubes and go shopping, his legs trrailing behind her. That to me, on that night was maybe the most funny thing in the worrld. On that night. |

*snaps fingers to the side* hell yeah, ali g... BOH!!! |
||||||||
|

So, why American or British. Does the world think America and Britain are close in nature? What about the Aussie's,then? Or the Canadians. My nieghbors. I do feel a kinship. I find it amazing that we speak virtually the same languange after roughly 500 years of seperation. Plus share many similarities after all these years. |

i like anything that makes me laugh , which is very rare to find something which will do so. but usually the only thing that will make me laugh is random american stand up comedy. the person that mentioned friends as a hilarious comedy should be taken out back and administered a severe beating. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh yeah , and ali g IS NOT FUCKING FUNNY why , god did they start playing that on hbo , and why did i watch it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
give or take a typo. :>) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
English. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hmm, both are great, but I'm gonna have to say British. American comedy works best for me as cartoons (Family Guy, Simpsons, Futurama, etc.) Anyone else got the Adam and Joe DVD? I've been waiting for this for years, completely worth the wait! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah man, I'm watching it now. Fucking excellent. I wish it had every episode ever though, rather than a "best of" of each series. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah me too, I think I'll see if I can get each episode of Kazaa or something. Extras are great though. Click on the right wheel of the etch a sketch on the extras menu for a little easter egg :) |

Monty Python are great! don't know SNL... what is it? ' _ ' |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
maphive, you sound boring |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nobody mentioned curb your enthusiasm. it is funny. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"SNL vs Monty Python for example" well, not many things can compare to monty python... in general it would have to be english for me, although there's plenty of american humour i like as well. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no-ones mentioned Chris Morris, perhaps the funniest man alive (english, you slack jawed yokels) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"cause of the dirty sanches thread..." Dirty Sanchez are Welsh not English. Oh, and English humour shits on American. That is why US comedy shows require teams of about 1000 writers. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I was going to mention him, until my computer restarted itself. Overall, British humour appeals more to me, just lately I've into American stuff more though, the Adult Swim cartoons click with me on some weird level. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
One of the Dirty Sanchez guys is English. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Dunno I don't watch it, I just heard sheep shagger accents when I switched over to it for three seconds by accident one day. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yep, he is. He was eating the contents of an ash-trray. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes! Chris Morris is a genius. I have Brasseye, The Day Today, Jam, they're great. Lots of SAW II used in Jam. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
England is not Britain you ignorant cunts |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I PREFER ENGRISH HJOE-MOR @!!!11 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they've started doing that too in England now.. "my family" is written by a team of writers.. it IS incredibly unfunny ofcourse, but still. |
