american comedy vs british comedy

[bitethepeach]

Seeing as everybody seems to strongly disagree on this subject, post proof with clips.

American comedy for sure

[Bebot]

Too tired to look for proof,but American comedy ftw.

[adam_smith]

nah just to be diffrent im goin to say british comedy its just so much funnier than american comedy take for instance this clip from olny fools and horses http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLYvSWJUBb8 now that is a classic moment and also laugh you arse off funny then we have little britain yes the second season was a tad gross but the first season was great here's a clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcqUn79eGL4 we have loads more decent comedys but i think that proves my point

[Fez]

not for me it didn't.

the simpsons bro. y'all liked that movie, how bout the show? scrubs?, southpark? reno 911? that's 70 show? mind of mencia?
thats all american baby!

but to be fair.. i haven't really seen any birtish comedy much.
I didn't even know we had different kinds of comedy until like not so long ago..

[I Love Necks]

Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm.

America. Case closed.

[Kerry]

American. :p

[bitethepeach]

Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm.

America. Case closed.

Lets not forget Arrested Development and 30 Rock.

I'll never forgive British comedy for Little Britain. It just sucks so hard on so many levels.

[Wacko1574]

American i suppose....scrubs as fez said one of my favorite........sheeeesh many more cnt name all of them:).........cnt say i have seen any british comedy :/...little britan is pretty funny though....a frnd of mine brought me a couple of dvd's and i loved it :P

[adam_smith]

yeah but most of the time its all the same situation just put into diffrent shows
now irish/british stand up theres where the laughs are at

[Wacko1574]

hmm wut would you recommend from those stand ups....rlly need a good laugh these days...

[Leon]

I like different parts of both to be fair, all american would be a bit hard to say as half of it is complete shite, like 'friends'. Whereas I like things like the Simpsons, South Park etc.

Although the same applies to British, Monty Python and such things are brilliant, whereas some things again are complete shite.

[nyx]

British reminds me of my childhood.I will never grow tired of watching Dad's Army, Monty Python, Blackadder etc

But then American stuff can be good too. I love Scrubs etc.

I think for me british would win out though, cos I'm more emotionally attached to it. Haha.

[Matty_1992]

Ameican by far.All ours are boring,American have Friends and loads of great ones.

[Leon]

Friends is shit.

[Insomniac]

I don't really have a particular stance to either, I love American stuff like the Simpsons and Scrubs, but I think you cannot beat Only Fools and Horses, do the Two Ronnies count? As they make me rofl.

[nyx]

Four candles. What a classic.
*youtubes*

Aha.

[Leon]

Really?

OMG.

[Kerry]

Pssh. :P

[nyx]

Oh I'd forgotten the mastermind one, yeh I prefer that too. But the four candles is the classic.

[bitethepeach]

30 Rock FTW

[Shakedown]

Father Ted still rules. "Ted, i've been drinking like a mad eejit"
Apart from this i prefer American comedy

[Pearson]

If I want to watch watered down, brainless comedy which plays for the easy joke and has very little storyline then Il watch American comedy. Otherwise il stick to classic's like the British version of the Office, Only Fools and Horses, Royal Family, Phoenix Nights, Alan Partridge and others. No contest in my opinion...just shows what retards this country is now producing when people actually rate shows like everyone loves raymond and scrubs, althought it can sometimes raise a laugh most of the time the jokes are cringeworthy.

[bitethepeach]

Comedy snobs take all the fun out of humour.

[Fez]

thats what i could say about monty python

[Kate]

I didn't get it. :( *Is dumb*

Well, dear, noone really expects you to, seeing as only leaving the house to go to ASDA renders you with less than 10 brain cells.

[adam_smith]

hey dont bash ASDA they pay my wages

[Kate]

I think you missed the point there, Mr I-don't-get-sarcasm.

[Innamorata]

Lol Kate. I like british, Green Wing and The I.T Crowd ftw.

[God.]

Agreed, but Scrubs pwns any british comedy, which is annoying.

[Innamorata]

Scrubs is not better than Green Wing.

[God.]

That, as mine was, is a matter of opinion. Neither correct, nor incorrect.

[Kate]

I agree with Lucie.
British is definately better.

[nyx]

Yeh I'm all for British now. I think on the whole its more clever. (Why does more clever sound wrong in my head when i know cleverer is wrong?)

[God.]

I didn't say I'm all for American though, did I?

I just think Scrubs is very good.

Generally however, I'm all for British.

[Fez]

[adam_smith]

-Blackadder goes fourth

[Wandering Soul]

Alright i think im gonna have to break the rules and go with a all encompassing comedy. if you've smoked weed.... once... and didnt have a dramatic and life changing event that scared you so bad you will never touch it again... you will laugh at this.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcsXxy8jhBY

but in the end im gonna have to go with American comedy. cause honestly i can't understand you guys

[Fez]

its retarded that we have different comedies. You can't really judge what is funnier by where it was made.

[Jyt]

British for the win, purely because of Red Dwarf.
"This is you dave. This is you, I mean me, which is you, 150 years in the future. I know you can see me Dave, because I remember because I can remember seeing me at my age when I was your age"

[adam_smith]

i like the office an American workplace i have no idea why though
maybe because the cast seem a little bit more animated and happy compared to the cast of the original plus i have an on going hatred of Ricky Gervais he has just got one of them faces tht you just want to hit
