I'm not sure where you're from, but certainly comedians from the UK and Ireland tend to be more about the funnies and less about the making sex-related comments all the time. Yes, there are exceptions, but on the whole, there are at least as many comedians who avoid such humour in general as there are those who use it constantly.

Damn I miss watching Alan Partridge. That episode is excellent: "DAN!, DAN!, DAN!"

Why do British always criticize American sitcoms for over-using laugh-tracks? It's like, every British sitcom I've seen uses them.

Still, not bad stuff. Not amazing but eh...

Well I'm not saying British are bad or worse at sitcoms. In fact, I'd agree their sitcoms are generally funnier(and their skit shows are miles ahead). However, I've never seen one without a laugh track, and for some reason it's an assumption that all American sitcoms are full of laugh tracks.

not since 1995. Besides, my point is, British have specifically criticized American sitcoms directly for needing to rely on laugh tracks when British sitcoms are chalked full of them. As a point in contrast in an argument.
