i dont know theres alot of american humor such as old greg that people in other countries such as england dont get but i guess to be fair that works vice versa

but then theres stuff like borat that both countries find hilarious

I really have no idea. All I can think of is the character from The Mighty Boosh too.

I love British humor, mainly, The Mighty Boosh, and, The Monty Python show. It's outrageous.

The Mighty Boosh is a British show...

I still don't really like The Mighty Boosh
The only thing they're really really well known for is their 'crimping' thing that they coined

Apart from that it just seems a bit... well... stupid to be honest

I mean, I'm not a huge fan of the newer British comedy shows anyway (apart from the panel/quiz shows, those are hilarious)

I much prefer the older (pre-2000) shows

I grew up watching non-american comedies on PBS like Vicar of Dibley, Red Dwarf, Red Green, and Coupling (the american version was a colossal flop). But I think some of the stuff on adult swim now is pretty genius. So I go either side of the pond/border on comedy.
