there is no joke..its just hard to explain ...

The only thing ment by british humour was that the british are witty (well not all of them but thats what a stereotype is I suppose) in a rather unique way. It doesn't mean that british humour is all about what lord kensington did on that fine afternoon last sunday :Pproud722

Mostly our humour is good... although of late comedy in Britain has become crass and awful... I blame the programme Little Britain... Horrible show.Samwel_X

I never found Mr Bean funny. I did finally see a few episodess of the Brit The Office....much preferred it to the American version which I don't particularly like. Steve Carell FTL.

I understand some British Humor, but what the aim of you "joke" went way over my head.hokies1313

It isn't a joke. He simply listed a series of victorian-british stereotypes and then asked if we like british humor. :|

You do realise that that isn't british humor at all, and that nobody - literally nobody - speaks like that. :|Ninja-Hippo

Another stereotype dashed....:cry:

It depends on which one you see. Originally it was written by the guy who plays Mr Bean, whos name i forget, but it was quickly bought out as a show and put on in the afternoon as family entertainment, meaning everything had to be dumbed down and all the original stuff which would make you cringe was considered too inappropriate for the time slot.

Mr.Bean is good in small doses... I would say the place to look for great British humour is in the original Office, Extras, Peep Show and slightly older 90s shows like Brass Eye or The Adam And Joe Show. Although some of the episodes of Brass Eye were a little too crude in places... Another great British comedy animation was Monkey Dust,

The problem with British comedies at the moment is that there is a slew of these sketch shows that repeat the same sketch every week in a slightly different situation, most of the time the sketches are childish and just aren't funny. It is a rather sorry state of affairs at present.

What you wrote wasn't funny in the slightest and i wouldn't call that British humour since there isn't a joke in there here are some videos of British humour

The US Office was worse. As most American imitations are.

The UK office was crap.

clyde46

Subjective. It was one of the most successful comedy series of all time. And without it there would be no American office. So even if you didn't like it's particular style of humor, i'd at least acknowledge that it was a good show, rather than dismissing it as crap.

Fawlty Towers...

How come nobody mentions Fawlty Towers? Doesn't anyone here know Fawlty Towers? >_>

I think everybody knows Fawlty Towers... nobody seems to know Monkey Dust though. The Darkest and most disturbing animated comedy ever.

The only British comedy in my opinion that makes me laugh.

Sorry to change the topic but are you or were you Ninja vox?

I prefer Yanks who slap their knees, shout "yee haw" and shoot guns in the air...

And Only Fools And Horses, Fawlty Towers, Red Dwarf and anything with Bill Bailey.

I thought behind all the disturbing nature of the programme it was genuinely hilarious. I'll admit though, not the lightest viewing of all time.

This. If anything the "joke" was more of an insult seeing as no one talks like that here. Cept posh people.
