friends was awful, office was equal or better then british original and wliia was better by far considering the best wliia comedians were in fact american/canadian
Can you guys shut up about where this is based? It doesn't matter, it's funny, and Friends is awesome by the way, BUT! So is the IT Crowd, so as long as it's funny! God, you're all children!
The UK and US both have their share of shit comedies (which this is most certainly NOT), it's just that the US ones become successful (The existence of Carlos Mencia, Dane Cook, Seth McFarlane and Will Ferrell is a constant reminder of the general inferiority of American comedy). It's the US' compulsive desire to remake good shows that gets me- their version of The Office is terrible, and they had plans to do The IT crowd and Spaced!
people need to stop saying americans have no sense of humour. remember friends? that was hilarious and american. i mean i am british, but no need to hate on americans.
@scottishthunder47 It's VERY British humour.... why do you think that we done a British version of it that was a more adult called "Coupling"? I say adult, it was on later in the evening so was a bit more rude and had more swear words.... Ahh I love how clever Friends is with working around the fact they can't say certain things and still make it work.
It took me an age to realise that the guy in the checked shirt is the same actor who plays dr alan statham on green wing and brian ( the antisocial "artist" on spaced.
You'd never guess it was the same guy, based on appearance.
I love Big train, wish they could bring it back, if it were not for the fact that most of the cast either work for channel four now or have just vanished.
now that's a bit harsh I think the Americans do have some good comedians (My favourite being Mitch Hedburg) but I do agree that the British stuff is largely better. But that's probably because I am british.
Mildly amusing for about 15 seconds. They'd have done much better to stop just after the "dog" passed the frosted window and done even better to leave the whole lot on the cutting room floor. Not worthy of the BBC but then so little is these days.
yeah, this sketch wasn't funny but, overall big train is genius, and America's only had a tiny amount of decent comedians (all overlooked) whereas we've got masterminds managing our comedy
I hate how people are always hating on American comedians. Arrested Development was probably the funniest TV show of all time, and that was American, wasn't it? American comedy isn't the wasteland you Brits claim it is
arrested development rocks, unfortunately its pretty unheard of over here and was never promoted so we still immediately think of crappy sitcoms like friends and spivs like drew carey. maybe one day.......
Meh, I wouldnt say arrested development was the BEST. COMEDY. EVAR. But I will admit it's pretty damn hilarious.
I think the main reason that most none Americans assume America is devoid of humor is because in the UK we get the privilege (ugh) of watching shows like friends and joey.
There's decent comedy world wide, nation has nothing to do with it. (as far as the west is concerned.)
@andomamern it's not just the comedy.. but Americans in general. Chalk it up to lack of exposure to American culture, not to mention that American culture and comedy is different than British - always has been, always will be. There are some brilliant American comics, but we bend more towards the stand up than television shows to highlight our humor. The UK does not.. they are skit focused. Big difference, and impossible to compare.
This is all wrong. American influences have been creeping into British comedy since Phil Silvers. And saying that American Comedy is stand up based and British is skit based is mentally ill. Remember, the shows you watch are not all the shows that exist. There are many great American comedies, maybe more than our British shows. The biggest difference is probably our (British) lenience toward alternative comedy but it can only ever be a matter of opinion, never fact.
dont find it funny at all...
