The SNL or Mad TV sketches are not to be compared to the brilliant monty python sketches. I must agree that British humor is the best out there. Chappelle's show is also quite good (i know i am comparing oranges to apples) nonetheless nothing compares to a great python or blackaddar sketch
wflan210: Yeah, but I've noticed that most American comedy is focused on relationships,marriage,or just stupid jokes. Why can't there be shows like Blackadder or Monty Python over here? Do you know if that Monty Python sketch is on YouTube?
SNL and MADTV are not even to be uttered in the same breath as Monty Python. The closest thing we have in North America is Mr. Show, which only ran for four seasons and was canceled because it was way too smart for the audience. But it's on dvd and completely brilliant.
If you can't distingish between Mad TV and Monty Python, than the true value of really brilliant comedy is obviously completely wasted on you. It's like saying, "Hey if you like Groundhog Day, you will love 50 First Dates, or if you like National Lampoons Vacation, you'll love Johnson Family Vacation!"
I am American, and I have no troubles saying that British comedy owns American comedy--for some reason Americans think that toilet and bedroom humor are the only subjects allowed in comedy... Maybe its because most of them are too slow and dull to grasp subtleties.
i made my own silly walk!

Imagine cops chasing criminals with walks like this. Anarchy would spread and within a few days the entire civilization would collapse.

You have to give them credit for doing this out in public.
"I'm sorry to have kept waiting, but I'm afraid that my walk has become rather sillier recently."
"Le March Futile!!"
In awe of this sketch every time.

THAT HORRENDOUS, DISTRACTING LAUGHTRACK! >:(

Regardless, it's still annoying at times. But at the same time, sometimes things aren't funny without it.

British comedy is indeed amazing but I'd say that it's not all dead over here. I particularly enjoy Scrubs...
p.s. Haverman--one of the python's funniest sketches involved blowing people up
