Re: American humor ain't funny!
 

That is funny, since Bollywood is much larger than Hollywood.

Re: American humor ain't funny!
 

oh iwas not talking about the movies ,boolywood makes movies not t.v series

Re: American humor ain't funny!
 

I know, but American humor is both TV and movies...

Re: American humor ain't funny!
 

i was talking about t.v , we have very good comedy movies in hollywood

and for you information bollywood is not the only movie industry in india, we have
movies in almost all the major regional languages, which are as big as bollywood

bollywood is more popular because of its pan indian reach

i meant old SNL, like with Chevy Chase and John Belushi.

Re: American humor ain't funny!
 

I wouldn't say that American humour isn't funny, just that it was drastically different from British humour, say.


As for America's sense of irony...

Re: American humor ain't funny!
 

i rarely laugh at anything on TV..cept for Conan and Family Guy..and sometimes, and i mean sometimes, i will laugh at a joke that is played on a TV show other than the ones ive named.

i dont find british humor all that funny. i get it. just dont find it funny.

i find my humor funny. i get it, and i say exactly what gets me...sometimes my friends will have a good one every once in a while. (well, my one friend really makes me laugh. his humor is quite smiliar to mine.)

i dont really find comedians all that funny... they stuff is mostly crap.

Re: American humor ain't funny!
 

The best era of SNL was that of Phil Hartman and Dana Carvey. They lifted that program up from its mid-80s mediocrity to a golden age. Second, the era of Chase, Belushi and Martin. Also good was Kids in the Hall.
Three words:
Canadians. Are. Funny.

Oh yeah, and my favorite standup guy is Todd Barry.
My favorite funny actors are Robin Williams, Bill Murray, Steve Martin, and John Cleese. (Hooray for dry British wit!) Oh, and props out to Fawlty Towers, which I get on PBS, and Monty Python, who resides in all its glory in my DVD case.
