It's just finished but we have been watching "A Pint of Lager and a Packet of Crisps". Bloody funny, British of Course. Men Behaving Badly are on again as it's replacement which is also pretty good. Watch Channel 4 each night from around 10.30pm and you will pick up on a bunch of comedies, all british. I do like some of the American stuff, like Team America, thats an all time classic. Um, kung Pow is pretty good also. Oh, and I do like Joanna Lumley.

The Brits do comedy.
The Americans do SITCOM... (SITuational COMedy - where they have to use laugh machines to make you think it's funny...)
The US does bloody fantastic stand-up comedy though!!! George Carlin, Robin Williams, etc....

Put me down for the poms!

I think 'Blackadder' might be my fav Brit comedy, though I also like 'Red dwarf' and 'Men behaving badly' quite abit :spudflip:

Brit comedy pwns Yank American comedy anyday, the Americans are too in your face, though I must say I do like Family guy alot
