I've been told I'M British humour. But then when I said thank-you they all laughed and said, "GET HIM!"

Was that in Britain?

Are you all forgetting Only Fools And Horses?
Uh, it was pitched directly to Hat-trick and Channel 4. The indoor scenes were filmed in London. It was funded by the British. Therefore; produced by Britain. RTÉ didn't even buy the rights until after it had become popular on Channel 4, which Irish viewers were getting through cable.Originally Posted by Lost Number
Besides, it's not like there's signficant difference between the two places. :rolleyes2

I still don't get british humor. Someone, tell me a joke. >.<
A man walks into a bar: "ouch"
It was an iron bar.
An englishman, an irishman and an iraqi man go into a bar and have a beer.
The englishman knocks his glass off the table and it smashes. The other two ask "why did you do that". The englishman replies "we've got so many glasses in our country we can afford to waste some."
Then the irishman pours his beer on the floor. The others ask "why did you do that?". And he says "we have so much beer in our country we can afford to waste some"
Then the iraqi man gets out two guns and shoots them. The others ask "why did you do that?". He replies "we've got so many foreigners in our country we can afford to waste some"
A pan galactic gargle blaster is like having your brain smashed out with a slice of lemon wrapped round a small gold brick. You should never drink tow pan galactic gargle blasters in a row unless you are a twenty ton mega elephant with brionchiol pneumonia.
These are just a few jokes I know (I'm british but I don't know if this is british humour) Humour is found in the mundane. I find this all funny.
A piece of graffiti on a wall by a motorway going into London 'Why do I do this everyday'
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy ('The Guide is definitive; reality is frequently very inaccurate') is the most popular known reference work for two reasons: it is inexpensive, and it has the words 'Don't Panic' written on it in large, friendly letters on its cover. It is a galactic bestseller everywhere except on that backward planet Earth, where they still think digital watches are "A pretty neat idea".

That iron bar one was funny.![]()
Well, Ireland is usually said to be part of the UK, even if it isn't. MILF really didn't say anything offensive. You're just making everything 100x worse than it needs to be, blowing everything out of proportion.Originally Posted by Lost Number
I'm Scottish, and I'd only take offense if someone said... '*insert Scottish show* is a really good English TV show/film', and even then I'd not take it as bad as you're taking it, if anything I'd just say point out that it is in fact, Scottish. ...Well, not that they show Scottish shows down in Engerland.

The Republic of Ireland is in the British Isles
Northern Ireland is the United Kingdom.
Great Britain only consists of England, Scotland and Wales.
The phrase to remember is: 'The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland'. It helps.

Erm why is the vast majority of this thread been insulting the british!!!!!!
I've spent over a quarter of my life in N. Ireland. I've visited most of it, I reckon. There is a distinctly Northern Irish tint to my upbringing. And I can tell you, I can conjure zero significant differences between the two places, except that Ireland is wracked with civil strife so ridiculous that it borders on the comedic. Or it would if people weren't dying.Originally Posted by Lost Number
