How many ad breaks do you Americans have? I was watching 'Impractial Jokers' today and there were like at least three cuts where it instantly repeats the last scene that we just watched

British TV sucks dick. All the British versions of American shows are far worse.

British Top Gear? An unfunny violent manchild spouting memes at a camera. British office? you'd have to be autistic to laugh at that shit and everyone's ugly.

And don't even get me started on Monty Python

>le spam XD

Brits today can't even watch tv without it being preapproved by the BBC to make sure that it's nonproblematic.

If you like British Tv you should just stick to fucking reddit.

British comedy usually just strikes me as being really gay. I will admit Peep Show and Misfits have some good moments though.

Definitely the top 20 stand up comedians of all-time is entirely comprised of Americans.

When I think "British" I don't think "amazing comedy", usually the television and comedy is pretty weird. The most appealing thing about Britain to most Americans is the women with the accents, that's about it.

Graham Linehan is such a hack. He can't write anything decent without a co-writer to steal the success from. No wonder why IT Crowd is shit, he wrote it solo. His Twitter is one of the most cancerous things I've ever read too.

The Inbetweeners is full of fart and fat jokes. And half the show is masturbation jokes.
