Why is British humour so much more intelligent than American humor if British people are so much less intelligent than American peeple?
this is bait but chris morris is the funniest man who has ever lived so this is technically correct
only thing america has done that comes close is review with forrest mcneil and that's being kind
British humour

Armando Iannucci greatly overshadows Chris Morris
alan davies
>>67353408
Katt Williams can entertain stadiums, I've seen Lee at Selby village hall. So this comparison is reflective of American humour, but not British humour, British humour is Michael McIntyre and Russell Howard.
Also you can laugh at both these clips if you aren't a snob though.
Watch The World's End followed by This Is The End and you'll see the difference
americans can't do anything without dude weed lmao and pop culture references and sex jokes
>>67353583
alan davies isnt funny jesus fucking christ. he's dad humour personified with some kind of special aurora around him which makes him unidentifiable as a hack which he probably contracted from suck stephen frys cock.
>>67353348
this guy knows what's up
Worst bait ever.
But there are cultural differences.
>>67353470
I wouldn't say so. He's certainly done more for sure and what he's done has always been awesome (not a huge fan of veep tho), but how much of this is due to chris morris being seen as toxic (he was voted "the most hated man in britain) after brass eye did the paedophillia thing i'm not sure. either way, i can't say that even alan partridge comes close to the genius of brass eye or jam/blue jam
>>67353780
The cultural difference being that brits appreciate wit while americans fear it because it's 'elitist'
>>67353408
good to see they both do the "repeat it until it's funny" technique.
>>67353621
a more apt comparison might've been
this for american

and this for british

Truly, the sharp wit of brits is without equal.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86qz3ZhqMZ8I actually find this hilarious
>>67353858
stewart lee is meta. you don't understand the genius of stewart lee.
It isn't.
It was.
Which guests are funnier on graham norton. Americans or brits?

Has to say it really slow for them to understand
Look how long it takes them to realise the snow angel joke
America will never produce a Peter Cook. Even Britain struggles to fill that vacuum. There wasn't a subject he wouldn't tear apart.

I do. He's playing a character but also not playing a character but playing a character that is playing a character.
>>67353775
he made for a semi decent autistic detective tbf
Are there any American comedies that experiment with format and such like Flying Circus?
All those panel shows are absolute shite and you all know it. Stop trying to act superior in front of our American cousins.

Actually, if you look up the index for IQ by nation the UK is higher than the USA.

>i have to say the word shite instead of shit so people know i am from britain hehe :)
>i will also say aye, mam/mum and other quirky ways of spelling words at any opportunity i get if a thread if speaking about the differences between america and britain :))))
>>67354213
yes but this also happened

>>67354311
I'm not American and that shit is great.
>>67354361
Original spellings you mean.
>>67354361
typing shite or aye is dumb and pandering, yes
but if I was to write 'mom' or 'color' that would just be unnatural.
>>67354750
and backward
.If it was a profit maximizing commercial company it would have only pleb stuff.
Being publicly funded it can raise the bar.
this is a british schoolboy
David Mitchell is one of the funniest people ever
The majority of British comedy is legit terrible, it's only the cream of the crop that really makes it overseas.
Just look at Keith Lemon and Harry Hill.
>>67354887
Oh jesus it's incredible that these two actually fondled with each others dicks.
Obligatory

They are annoying but I can't watch them without laughing at times.
Also a lot of what Leigh Francis has done before is legitimately funny. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gpOA8AMZG8M
>>67353687
worlds end wasn't much of comedy though
>tfw relating to Gary on so many levels
>tfw said comedy is depressing as fuck
also, Seth rogen is a fat Jew, we all know Jews can't comedy
goon show is GOAT
Americans can't even compete
>>67354062
Brits, Americans are too scared of PC or of hurting peoples feelings, I think its a bit of cultural thing
>>67355728
people are just funnier in their own country. Brit guests suck when they're on American shows unless it's someone who's over there a lot anyway like Russell Brand or w/e
>>67354062

>>67353256
Common misconception. British humor isn't more "intelligent" than American humor, it's more intellECTUAL. It's just different styles.
>>67354953

But I'm afraid we aren't that cute
>>67355232
Bo Selecta was funny for the absurdity and it flung enough stuff at you to eventually make you laugh, I can't think of one smart joke in it though.
>>67355728
>scared of being PC
Always Sunny and South Park are far from PC.
>>67356635
right yeah, which is probably a harder form of comedy to get right, and he's clearly very good at picking up on the right subtle things in a celebrity's cadence to exaggerated. The Keith Lemon sketch show is mostly terrible but this sketch showcases it well

>>67356731
I didn't know those shows appeared as guests on the Graham Norton show. Wow, the whole cast?
>>67353256
>American people
