+E.Worm Jimmy Subscriber¹ Posted June 2, 2005 Subscriber¹ Share Posted June 2, 2005 (edited) GEE. YOU THINK SO?Or not, 'cause, uh, humour is entirely subjective? Who the hell are you, anyway, the humour inspector? 586005148[/snapback] why yes i am, thank you. you get B+ for your sarcastic remarks :rolleyes: That makes no sense at all. Humor is 100% subjective. Nothing can be objectively 'funny'. Even more-so than beauty, humor is certainly in the eye of the beholder. 586005183[/snapback] exactly. this is my point. just because i dont find some world known comedians even remotly funny, i would not go round saying they nhave no humor. because if they did not they would not be a world known comedians. see my point yet?

jackwanders Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 thing is just because you dont find it funny does not mean it is not. i'd say take a random sample of 1000 people and if over 50% find if very funny then it is so. 586005024[/snapback] That makes no sense at all.

davemint Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 i think british humour has more to it like "The office" is funny cause the blokes a ****, like a hidden humour were as american humor is just blatent and in your face type. The British tend to like both, but the yanks dnt seem to like ours (from wat ive heard) :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarStorm Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 Ok this is turning into an arguement more than a discussion. US copy our shows so they cant be that unfunny. Besides i think we're missing the point arnt we tlkin about the british people not the actual shows. It all depends on who u survey. I mean obivously older people are gonna laugh a lot less than younger people because they watch different tv programs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+E.Worm Jimmy Subscriber¹ Posted June 2, 2005 Subscriber¹ Share Posted June 2, 2005 (edited) That's what this article writer plans to be. 586005222[/snapback] lol it least someone got what i am pointing at with my comment, unlike the others who thought i am being serious. or are i? ps. lav-chan: if you agree with me on humours being subjective then quit appoligising for britan being not funny. its the fact that you said it twice, though it is only you opinion and also you trashing of all the other british shows which provoked me to reply in this thread altogether. i also just noticed how overused your sarcastic remarks are, so i revise your grade to a B-. keep using them left and right and you might even get a C. :sleep: Edited June 2, 2005 by panacea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.pingu Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 who cares what this survey things says? i think were much funnier than american comedy which dont seem to exist :ninja: go britain :D maybe they showed these 1000 people unfunny things thats why they didnt laugh? :pinch: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have to add every single time i have an opinion, 'OH, BUT IT'S ONLY MY OPINION'. If i say that something is not funny, it's completely obvious to a reasonable person that i'm speaking only in regard to my own opinion, not trying to state some kind of scientific constant. Are you the guy who argues with all of his friends whenever they say something 'sucks'? Edited June 2, 2005 by fred666 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramble Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 I tyhink that we are miserable, but still like to laugh. I know alot of people, including myself who laugh quite regularly. (sp?) British humour is some of the best. The Office, Vicar of Dibley, Monty Python, Red Dwarf, etc. are great. Austin Powers is pretty funny as well. (Is that American or English anyway??)

SaLiVa Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 Are you the guy who argues with all of his friends whenever they say something 'sucks'? 586005301[/snapback] Sorry to butt in, but now that it's been mentioned I find it amazing how characters differ online and offline. On topic - Im starting to really hate these people who think they're really smart and think they can study humour by scientific and mathematical equations/timings. We do not need these analyses, they do not define life nor do they provide for anything useful. There are just some things in this world that do not need explaining! A statistic is just numbers and provides no factual information whatsoever! On a side note: It's as if this article was made in "The Office".

SaLiVa Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 Austin Powers is pretty funny as well. (Is that American or English anyway??) 586005347[/snapback] The movie is American, but Mike Myers is Canadian. Canada's humour is some of the best in the world. Britains is very classical and traditional. American... Well sexually oriented and full of in your face moments. All of them have different qualities, and most of them requires a cultural background.

vincent Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 That article is BS. We invented comedy. Humor has been around a bit longer than Britain was a country my friend How often do we hear about US networks wanting to recreate UK comedy shows? And then fail! Who's line is it anyway? How often do US comediens claim "Monty Python's Flying Circus was a massive influence"? 586004926[/snapback] I don't discredit Monty Python from contributing to the world of Comedy i just don't personally find him funny, maybe i haven't watched enough ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 oh, so there was no comedy before the Brits gave it to the world?!?!?!?! :blink: 586005664[/snapback] No there was no comedy before we gave it to the world. It was a gift we gave the world in the good old days of the British Empire. :rolleyes: No offence but when i was in the states two weeks ago i saw nigh on every "comedy" show on TV and bar Dave Chappel its all dross. I pray for the day when canned laughter is put into room 101 as well. On a better note. American drama is light years ahead of us English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 Our humour is totally an aquired taste. I love almost all of it, apart from the more regional things. Simpsons and Family guy aside, I really think the rest of the world has missed the boat (take friends for an example.. funny how?). But that's *my opinion*.
