It's not arguing, it's asking if you "get" them or not.
And by that logic I could ask why people argue over which FF is better, or why people argue at all.

Well if it's about UK comedies and if people get them or not why drag US comedies and how 'intellectual' they are into it in the first place?
"Excuse me Miss, do you like pineapple?"
Ever hear of comparison?

I really like British humor a great deal. I'm more of a fan of their stand up though.
Ross Noble is my favorite stand up comedian. I've almost peed myself watching his acts.

Screw culteral differences. British comedies are king. Peep Show might just be the funniest thing on TV ever. Even stuff like The Imbetweeners, which is identical to nearly every US teen comedy in structure, is just so much better than anything you will find state side.
I find everything I've seen horrible boring.

I like and dislike plenty from both sides of the pond.
No-one does comedy quite as well as the UK. Sure there's some that doesn't quite fire, but when it's good... it's good.
By sheer coincidence I get compared to Ross Noble a lot.Originally Posted by Rye
As with the US, the UK have produced some great sitcoms and some downright awful one's. My Family is probably my most hated sitcom from the UK, and Friends is my most hated from the US. Some of my favourites from the UK include Red Dwarf, Father Ted, The IT Crowd, Blackadder and Peep Show. US I'm not as enamored with, but I do adore Big Bang Theory.
There is no signature here. Move along.
I like British comedy, but only the series with an edge like Blackadder or Peep Show. There is a lot of bland rubbish about (see: anything on ITV). I think British comedy hits higher heights than those shows from the US - it seems sharper and wittier?
Drama, however, belongs to the US.
Sounds dangerous, is it a type of bear?
I'm going to save my time and already diminished energy and just agree with old Heath up there. He said it rather well.
Uhm, that wasn't even directed at you and I already chalked it up to a cultural thing in the first post. :rolleyes2
Burtsplurt is right though, the Babylon of America has produced some great dramas. Nothing in the U.K. can beat The Wire.
derp
Gimme Life On Mars & Ashes To Ashes anyday xD
And My Family was good until it hit about series 4/5.
British comedies I thoroughly enjoy include The Office, I'm Alan Partridge, Peep Show, and Black Books (mostly just the first season).
Jellyfish swim by.
Monty Python! <3
I like British comedy. The British people I know have a good sense of humour, but just like American humour it can also suck some mighty and moldy arse. Depends on what you like I guess.
All in all, yes for the most part I find British comedy enjoyable.
