Re: American humor ain't funny!
 

Generally I think American comedy is crap, one exception being the late Bill Hicks.

I have been reacquainting myself with all four Blackadder series' - now this is funny.

I think you have to be American to like American humor. I have seen many funny shows in America. We do have a lot of lame ones, but sitcoms like Two and a Half Men, Malcolm in the Middle, ect, they are funny. South Park is funny for some people if you like immature humor. Jay Leno is funny too, especially when he ask idiots on the street easy questions and they don't know the answer. One time he asked someone who the vice president was, and the girl said Al Gore.

Erm us UKer's we have kirsty's home videos. I think every country gets them just change the channel

Re: American humor ain't funny!
 

Conan O'Brien owns all other late night, especially Jay Leno and Letterman. And SNL is the original sketch comedy show, others are just cheap copies.

And really, stop bashing American comedy, I guaruntee half the shit they say you don't understand. Like they've said before, you have to be American. You're missing it all because you don't get it.

It's like me watching a Dutch show, even if I knew how to speak Dutch, I wouldn't find it funny because I wouldn't understand the 'jist' of it.

Then why do we find most of the britsh shows etc. funny? (same goes for some of the american shows)? http://gamingforums.com/images/smilies/confusedx.gif we would't be able to find it funny because it wouldn't be dutch...:uhm:

Re: American humor ain't funny!
 

What I mean by that is, you don't get some of the comedy because you can't relate to it. A lot of the comedy is tailored to a specific audience, for example America. When you take that comedy that is tailored to be funny for Americans, and give it to Europeans, it may not be funny because they can't necessarily relate to it.

Do you get what I mean?

The comedy is based, well some comedy, on things that will make a specific group laugh, or think of it humourisly.

Britain is in Europe, and since it's not so isolated in trends/current events as America is the comedy relates more to you, as a Dutchman. They(Britain and Holland) know the trends and the goings-on of eachother's countries. Here in America, something is funny because you know about it...put that in Holland, and well, you'd be lost, and it'd be just stupid in your opinion.
