@TigerHuntingPrey You my friend are on your way :P

Great information... Will it be on the test?

I would just like to say that I looked up those British comedians, some of there stuff was funny, but most was hard to understand cause I don't live there so I don't get why it's funny cause the things they talk about I can't relate to. It might be funny I just don't get it, which is prolly why you don't think American comedians are funny either

@caileansmith U mad bro?

[caileansmith]

@xXcontrolldeniedXx Sorry, we're arrogant? Because the last time I checked, you lot are the most hated nation in the world, and you think you're fucking brilliant, don't you? It was an innocent question, as comedy from other cultures (eg France, Germany) I'd often not found funny by other cultures. So stop gobbling off you thick yank cunt and stop proving all the American stereotypes right.

@caileansmith It's probably a cultural thing. See brits are all snobbish douche bags that think they are the only talented or smart people on the planet and everyone else is lowbrow trash. I guess that's why you would ask such a question. Who else would say that in a country of over 300 million people i find no one funny and it must be them and not me. If you don't find my comments funny or witty, take my word, it's you. you're a douche.

[caileansmith]

A bit unconnected, but out of interest, how many yanks here have seen some popular British stand up, like Michael macintyre, frankie Boyle, Billy connolly. If you have, what do you think of it? I just can't find any American stand up that funny and I'm wondering whether Brit stand up is better or if it is just a cultural thing.
