I've seen Little Britain. It is so far from being funny.
I don't get British humour.

We invented the humorous insult. You did know that didn't you?
There is no signature here. Move along.
I laughed so hard at the Christmas episodeI've seen Little Britain. It is so far from being funny.

You have no clue how retarded that sounds. How do you take a piss out of someone. Do you rip out their blatter and scream out fatality?!?!
Having said that England is stupid. This is a proven fact.
I don't take the piss out of people and call it humor. I wouldn't like it if someone did it to me...oh wait they did once. But I don't think it's funny. Something is only a joke if everyone finds it funny.

I am a British citizen, and there is no better humor than British humor in my opinion. I think that British humor is all about being insultive to others in a random yet funny way, so it's just like looking at how funny life is. Insulting someone in that way is funny, because it is unexpected and it surprisez the listener. That is what makes people laugh.
I was in London once.
"Top o the mornin to ya, Paddy!"
"Hey, Paddy, fancy a drink o Guiness?"
"How ya doin, ya stupid, drunken *****er?"
I hate the British.

British comedy is more subtle. The insult being funny relies on the tone of voice and you being a friend with the person talking to you. Social relationships, tone of voice and double entendres are used more than stupid statements and canned laughter for comic effect. British humour mocks real life, not odd situations. Odd situations are weird not funny, good humour is found in real life.
Little Britain has its moments but Dead Ringers is a far better example of parody. Hitch-hickers is a great example of zany humour.

Lets face it, polititians and TV presenters leave themselves wide open to parody. I prefer Folks on the Hill.

I do like British Humour, because I find insultive humour really amusing, if it's with friends and such. Maybe I'm crazy, but if I think you're truly friends with someone when you can joke mock with them. Like me and Shauna, Paul, Dan, Kiir, etc.
I have to say, I will take Seinfeld humour over most British humour. I personally find odd situations, such as the ones in Seinfeld, hilarious. But that's my own taste, plus I'm American and I haven't seen any British comedies, I've only experienced British Humour through friends. xD
Ha, british humor is the best man, we feel the same about most of the american humor
I would love to be happy, but unfortunately I'm too busy being awesome and kicking your ass at everything
Only thing worse than Brit humour, is Muirican humour.

I think it's retarded that you'd take a slang term so literally.
