My great love is British humour. Very different from american, even if I can't exactly point out in which way right here on the spot. Blackadder, the Office (Gervais version) and Extras are the very best comedy I know. Such unmitigated brilliance. I've got them all on DVD, and watch them over and over again, and I laugh as hard every time. Which shows they're really rather good or I'm really rather too dumb too remember a joke.

Two eighties, two noughties shows then.
Its drier i enjoy sometimes.

In the US most people think of like Monty Python when they hear British Comedy.

I think modern comedy is becoming more crass which doesnt make it any less funny especially for hormonal teen males like myself.
