its retarded to say that one nationality of comedy is the only funny one because comedy is subjective. even within the nationalities of comedy then there are sub genres
Strange how this takes the same gag; fighting over the restaurant bill turns to gun stand off, as the contemporary Sketch Show but are really written completely different. One is very pun based, ultra-unrealistic, and the other is this straight dialouge in an unusual circumstance. Someone should upload them back to back
This reminds me of the Father Ted sketch with the two old ladies arguing over paying for the cream tea. Me and my sister are like this all the time (minus the gun) - one of us ends up pretending to go to the toilet so we can go pay... not sure why we do that but still...!
I am not big on British humor, no pun intended, but I have been watching this for like that past half hour and this by far some of the best humor I have seen.
This is modern day british humour, The British comedy you probably think of is stuff like monty python which was around during 1970. Our modern day stuff is quite good. Most of it anyway.
Sorry about the US being the king of idiots Alot of them are 'sorry' and it's kind of true. But there are also alot of smart ones but not as much as idiots... so i can understand why you guys put thumbs down on me.
yeah, everyone knows British comedy is funnier, so why the hell bother?
I love the gunman's girlfriend in this scene. it's like she's a bit embarrassed at him showing her up (with a gun in a restaurant, the madhead!) then just amused by it all.
I still think it's funny. Instead of the gun-happy stereotype of America in Lebowski, it's more about the way us Brits are so polite it borders on the violent.
I may have missed something but I don't think the main focus of the sketch was whether or not someone owns a handgun in 'england'. Once again British comedy takes satire to new levels, incomprehensible to mere mortals. Bravo!
Exactly - this sketch is in fact taking the piss out of the somewhat middle class tradition of arguing over who pays the bill. It's British comedy at its best; it relates to everyday life but as you say, it takes the satire to a whole new level by adding a sort of surrealist element. Genius.
And also, the pair of you are a couple of observer reading twats. it's so annoying when people try to analyse comedy, there's nothing to analyse because it's just funny. most people undersfand that it's a sattire and they don't need arseholes like you two explaining it to them.

Well firstly, go fuck yourself. Of course there are reasons why we find certain types of comedy funny; only an asinine cunt such as yourself would think it is 'just funny'. I believe Jimmy Carr even wrote a book on it, though I haven't read it.
Like anyone, I'd rather enjoy comedy without over-analysing it, but in this case there were some cretins who didn't get it, which was the whole purpose of my - and presumably gossieuk's - comment. As you said, 'most people' will get it. Not everybody.
I only said that because of the way you worded your comment; you didn't simply point out that comedy need not be scrutinised in such a way, but chose to be insulting as well.
You have to have an expensive licence and attend a gun safety course to own something like that. Also, anything that is semi-auto or above in power and firing speed is completely illegal unless you've got a military permit...
I own 5 handguns, and 2 rifles. we have really dangerous criminals here that will not hesitatge to kill, or worst. many americans are armed. the states have different requirements to own ,and carry a gun, but most have you take a safety course, and a criminal background check. convicted fellons cannot own guns.
there aren't many sketch comedy programmes that actually have great acting in them as well as being fucking hilarious. Man Stroke Woman is one of those few.
