British Humor v American Humor

I prefer British, my brother prefers American.

What about youu?

British all the way. American humour is funny but its not really witty enought for me.

British, American humour has its moments.. but for me all my favourite comedy shows and comedians are British. The office for example i much prefer the British over the American, even thoe i still enjoy the American one.

If by american humor you mean low-brow humor, then i guess i prefer british humor. Altho it certainly ain´t what it used to be.

British comedy is far superior to American material.domatron23

Absolutely, Fawlty Towers and Only Fools and Horses and Minder aresome of the greatest comedy shows of all time.

When it's good British comedy is better.

When it's bad, British comedy is worst.

I say American, but this is still one of the funniest things I've ever seen http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_au0UUHI2aI

I haven't watched many movies of the genre, but I guess it will be british for me. I remember the TV Series "Allo, Allo". It had cracked me up more than F.R.I.E.N.D.S. did :)

I like (and hate) some American, I like (and hate) some British.

i like American Humour but nothing compares to British Humour Monty Python Red Dwarf Only Fools & Houses :lol:

What about canadian comedy?

Anyways out of those two, British.

I like (and hate) some American, I like (and hate) some British.

American humour is too sanitized and politically correct. British humour is sick and real, and occasionally abstract and actually funny.

British humor i find funnier since it's a lot more slapstick. Particularly with Britcoms.

It all depends. Both have their moments.

In terms of British humour Trigger Happy TV was amazing. Easily the most intelligent and well-thought out prank show ever. Soooo funny.

At the same time, The Big Bang Theory proves that American humour doesn't have to be stupid. The dialog in this show is great and crazy and the main characters work so well with eachother it's great!

I guess as an American I am exposed to much more American humour and therefore prefer it but I can enjoy British humor too.

I like american humour it's made me crack up a fair few times. But i prefere british comedy. A series called "the mighty boosh" Is by far the best comedy i have ever seen. It is leagues ahead of the rest

British beats american no matter what.

American humour is generally pretty awful. There must not be much going up in the mind of someone who finds that stuff funny.

I can usually see the american jokes coming before they start, which kills the funny for me.
I like an element of surprise or imagination.

I like (and hate) some American, I like (and hate) some British.

Should've made that title a little moure clever and said "British Humour V American Humor

British humour one hits American Humour.

American humour isn't too bad, but sometimes it's just over the top and lame.

British homour edges it for me with shows like Shameless and The Catherine Tate Show but i do love Malcolm in th Middle, Family Guy etc

I used to preffer some of the American stand up comedians like Chris Rock, Rich Halletc but now I would say the British stand up comedian like Frankie Boyl, Jimmy Carr etc are better.

Well, American humor is what produced The Simpsons, so that's what I've got to go with.

American humor

Only Fools and Horses is the only answer, it's the perfect British comedy.

This is a great moment. :D

British, the kind of American comedy I generally see on tv is stuff like Scrubs, 2 and a Half Men, the American version of The Office. Really bad stuff.

British humor before anything else! I'm a HUGE fan of Britcoms.

Are You Being Served, Only Fools and Horses, Monty Python, Bottom, Mr. Bean, The Office (UK...of course), The Mighty Boosh, Keeping Up Appearances, The Young Ones.....I cherish them all!

British comedy panel shows > Everything. :P

I really like both but nothing tops Only Fools & Horses for me.
