So fucking cringey
>hey 4chang peoples we're being funy rite????
>>
British. With the exception of the office all our versions of their shows are always trash as fuck and unfunny
>>
>>55855470
this is true, Steve Carell defined that show, the best acting I've seen him do

but the American version of Shameless is extremely meh
>>
>>55854675
British humour is much more witty, which I like
American humour tends to be obnoxious, or have to spell it out in other words

British >American IMO


also, standup is absolute trash, anyone who watches it regularly should eel bad
>>
I like British humor more, although Americans can really play upon US-exclusive tropes well. Like this:

Subtle, funny, and Americans all know what it's about.
>>
American
>>
American definitely has the better spelling.
>>
>>55854675
no feelings one way or another
>>
>>55856988
Hate the way words look without the u but I always hate the spelling of words like centre without the re ending rather than the er. using Z for S is ugly too.
>>
>>55854675
For TV shows? Definitely British
For stand up? Definitely American, usually blacks.
>>
I think African Americans are really good at making memes

Monty Reddit is good at times but mostly overrated

The Office is a complete rip-off of Christopher Guest's infinitely better, more layered and more nuanced comedy

The /r/IT Crowd is garbage

Black Books is OK

Blackadder is good

Peep Show is definitely patrician. Too bad Mitchell & Webb aren't funny when smarter people aren't writing for them

Everything else is pretty formulaic and derivative

Stephen Fry put it best when he said that American irony is much more subtle than British irony, which Brits confuse for lacking irony. Brits rely too much on sarcasm or over-use irony to the point that it's neither unexpected nor terribly funny, just repetitive and cynical, which IMO is pretty pleb

I watch Shameless USA but i do it litteraly just for Lip because i find part of myself in his character, the rest of the shit i mostly don't care about
>>
oi lad monty python reall good innit hah cracks me roight up it does
>>
>>55854675
British humor has always striked me as absolutely autistic and unfunny, so I'm voting US humour.
>>
>>55854675
British humour is sophiscated and witty
American humor is crude and simple
Both can be hilarious, but purely on comedic value brits all the way.
