  • Poor Richard Beckinsale.:( He had a special something, that lad.

  • "the americans do not have the intellectual capability to understand our humour, they're humour is far too obvious and juvenial"

    I'm an American and I can at least spell "juvenile" and "their". I've never watched "Friends" either. So you can go get stuffed.

  • @danimayb I agree with you, and in fact I love all the british comedies I mentioned above. I was simply making that point that not all british humor is "intellectual" that americans don't get it. I know at least 30 people that can quote Monty Python and the Holy Grail start to finish, and still laugh tears into their eyes watching it. Blackadder is some of the funniest television ever made, in my opinion, but then again so is Porridge, but I felt Going Straight was weak. I guess it is just taste

  • @TheButtur123 I have to disagree with that person. I am English and do not think American comedy is dumb or stupid in any way, they have army's of intelligent writers doing their thing. I personally do not enjoy many of the stuff that comes from America. But that's not to say they dumb or anything, just my taste. Benny hill is shit, Blackadder is legendary and Mr Bean was ok when I was a kid. Young Frankenstien is bullshit and blazing saddles is gold. Just the way it is for me :)

  • @JJones7161 You're an idiot. The Simpsons is the greatest tv show of all time.

  • Let me get this straight, your saying american comedy is "far too obvious and juvenial". Coming from the country that produced Benny Hill and Blackadder or god forbid MR.BEAN! I will concede that british humor does translate better to television than american, but dont pretend for a minute its so "high brow" americans dont get it. Ever heard the name Mel Brooks Blazing Saddles, The Producers, or Young Frankenstien all comedic gold and all much more intelligent than anything I mentioned above.

  • @JJones7161

    true are comedy is to witty for them and its better than any American comedy by miles

  • why are you guys hating on america?
