i think the US is better due to having a time advantage. it had more room to build off of what was a starting show. as well as with time humor changes, we've moved more towards a crude sarcastic comedy nowadays. i like US better b/c i personally like the jokes more, and i think there's a wider variety of jokes.
I grew up watching the UK version on this show... And its very difficult to say which is better. I think I like the US version better, just because I fucking love Colin and Ryan and they were there every single episode... so... can't really go wrong. The UK version had Ryan and Colin as well... just not as often as the US.
@a7machine It's older, so it's less refined. The US version started out at the same level, but improved over time. Look at dating service video. The first season had very simple things, by the end it was super crazy shit.
Yeah but in many ways the US show went more commercial. Not that Im complaining, just noticing.
They tend to make things easier & play to their strenghts more: People have set roles in sketches, Ryan comes last in the songs (to give him time), the good singers sing more than the others, scenes from a hat runs for more than just one single "sketch" per note, there are fewer games etc.
In many ways the UK show is more true to pure improv and puts them on the spot more.
@TheAlmighyShia foe me it is the people these guys are just not funny and definitely do not have chemistry like ryan, collin, wayne and either chip brad or greg
@claytonic21 If I'm not mistaken, the UK was not a comedy show, it was just improv. If it was funny, great, if not, that was ok to. Also there is a lot of British humor which some people don't find funny. Also I personally find Clive funny, him and Greg's back and forth banter was better then anything between Drew and Ryan.
Some games in the US were not funny at all because it just didn't work, some were hilarious. Same thing with the UK version. Just depends.
The main reason why the American version is better is that many of the jokes and skits involved the host, Drew Carey, and members of the audience too.
I disagree with both the "US is better" and "UK is better" groups. I think they're a little too different to compare, the british style of humor is much more pun driven for a start.
Which you think is better will entirely depend on your sense of humor, consequently neither one is actually better than the other.
@PepperPhoenix I agree with you! I love both versions. I love both styles of comedy. I find British humor to be very funny and witty and I find American humor to be silly and slapstick which is good too! :D
@PepperPhoenix ryan has waaay more funny puns than anyone else.. i think why no one can stand the british version is because of clive, and that annoying buzzer. also, there's no chemistry between them all.
Alright. dont get arsy. but in the clip he duz say about america but hey.
i prefer the british version but my mom used to own practically every single episode on vhs before dvd and it was all i watched, which might be the same with u and the us version
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Honestly, I hate the UK whose lines!.....because in the US all the people are better I know that like Ryan and Chip and greg are in the uk and they are in the US but the number one thing I hate about the UK is the host...god he is anoyin, at least Drew Carey from the US was funny and had a sence of humor.
Clive has a very good sense of humour, but it is more subtle than Drew's. Don't get me wrong, I prefer the US version (and I prefer Drew as a host) but Clive came with some awesome remarks over the years. Like the one above, when they said Ryan (as a baby) looks like a "Clive", and he remarks quietly "theres a reason for that". Its a great one liner really.
The reason I prefer the US one is because they polished the games. Scenes from a hat works better when there isnt just one round per scene.
The games in the UK showed more the theatrical performing part of the comedy. In the US, the games are more gag-style comedy.
There's a reason for that; US people prefer stand-up style short gags and jokes, and UK people prefer a good comedic, continuous story.
Both shows, in my opinion, are impressive; US version makes me laugh really hard, and UK version amazes me by the quality of the performers' interpretations.
And I agree in that Clive is really intelligent and funny.
I didn't see more continuity in this version than in the American one and I've watched a couple of the UK version. Well that was your major point of argument and I just pointed out that i don't think it has more continuity than the other version.
haha remember, this was in the day of mullets. if you think about it, hardly anyone on the us version wore a suit, execpt for greg proops and jeff davis. and drew of course. he doesnt count though haha.
I love Jeff Davis and Brad Sherwood, especially when they are in a scene together (greenscreen show). Jeff offers a fresh style of comedy (although Colin and Ryan definitely lead in terms of experience), and Brad is so creative too (and he has a good memory).
