Re: American humor ain't funny!
 

I personally have satalite TV, so I can judge for myself but I still agree. Most of it's rather dull. theres some shows I like, but the majority of it rather sucks. Only show I really ever liked was the X-Files And thats not even a comedy so that does not count.... but you get my point (I hope)

Re: American humor ain't funny!
 

I find US humor to be well, not funny at all. The TV shows on here atm consist of really lame stuff, which in itself is really funny

Re: American humor ain't funny!
 

Simpsons, Malcolm and Futurama. Only American comedy I've ever found comical. The rest... and we get a LOT of it... is pretty dull. Obvious. May go so far as to say tedious. Especially sitcoms like Friends, Frasier, etc. Though Cheers wasn't too bad. Stand-up there is almost terrible.
And trust me, we get a LOT here. You name it, you can probably bet I've seen it at least once.

On shows like America's funniest home videos, most of the time they insert the laughter for them. I have never found anything the hosts have had to say funny, and the videos aren't that funny either.

Ever watch Jerry Seinfeld? Whether its his TV show or just stand up comedy, hes great.

Re: American humor ain't funny!
 

Ah yes Simpsons of course, that show is the most funniest thing i have ever seen.

right.... http://gamingforums.com/images/smili...rcastic%29.gif

one of our most poluar programs is "kopspijkers", its so popular that the belgian ("kopspijkers") and german ("goXX") tv have copied the concept (with permission).
Kopspijkers is a Dutch talkshow that has been running on Dutch public television since 1996. It has received the 'Zilveren Nipkow' award - which is awarded by tv critics every year for best tv-shows - in the year 2003.
It's a humoristic talkshow and stands out for it's extensive amount of cabaret. This cabaret is much like the English tv-show "Spitting Image" but with real actors. Political leaders like Jan Peter Balkenende (our prime minister/minster-president), Wouter Bos (leader of GroenLinks, a socialist party) and Gerrit Zalm are frequently impersonated. Kopspijkers is one of the best viewed programs in the Netherlands. The host of the tv-show is Jack Spijkerman (which is the basis for the title of the tv-show).

home improvement was good

Re: American humor ain't funny!
 

So wait, first you say Dönitz can't know anything about american humor (though we have quite a lot of american shows here), but you - who I bet has never seen any Dutch tv-program - can comment on humor in the Netherlands?

Plus the insult, yeah, the insults man.

Re: American humor ain't funny!
 

The dutch seem to have an infatuation with making fun of Belgians

Re: American humor ain't funny!
 

Doesn't everyone :lol:? Well I don't care what anybody says about Belgium, their chocolate is nice.
