Your a naughty boy Dylan lol. but we dont shoot first

[Danny Derby]

This may hurt, but we are better at using the English language in the USA.

[The Harlequins]

LIKE Ether LOL LOL LOL

[Lily Wilkins]

We're The Millers is a FAVORITE! My mom and I will go "Y'know wha-i'm I'm sayin'?" in Scotty P's voice at eachother and then crack up laughing all the time.
We're kind of strange. Redheaded girls with matching blonde streaks in our bangs strange.

I personally think the American Pie movie series is prime USA humor.

This may hurt, but we are better at using the English language in the USA.

Here's one example : )

Vitamins

UK: The vit part rhymes with 'bit'

USA: The vit part rhymes with "bite"

The USA got right, because Vitamins was shortened from the words Vital Minerals.
In either language, the word Vital is pronounced the same...with the vit part rhyming with 'bite'

So how did the Brits manage to mess that one up? lol

Well, as far as comedy movies go...some of my favorites
The Gods Must Be Crazy (1980) {South Africa and Botswana}
Happy Gilmore {USA}
Galaxy Quest {USA}
And one more as I do love the movie, 'Bringing Up Baby' {USA}

Stormy stand up comedy off the cuff live .

Billy Conally

Peter Kay.

Lee Evans.

The list could go on and on.......BELLY LAUGHS.

Brit comedy series.

Dads Army

Only Fools And Horses

Fawlty Towers

No canned laughter

[Stormy Peak]

I like Fawlty Towers, kind of hard to go wrong with John Cleese.
But my favorite Brit comedy is, Keeping Up Appearances. Some day, I keep thinking, I'll buy the series. It's kind of iffy when and where it will air 'for free' here in the USA. I don't have t.v., so have to watch it on the internet. The first time I did see that series though, was on t.v., a PBS channel. That was followed by Are You Being Served? I liked that one too, but Keeping Up Appearances was, for me at least, much more entertaining.

Stormy

[The Harlequins]

[Stormy Peak]

Of course -- Hyacinth

Bucket.

(although I know she will look horrified and tell me different, that it's French and pronounced Bouquet)

Stormy : )

[Bertie Bassett]

Best three GB TV comedies, Fools and Horses, Citizen Smith, Porridge and Steptoe and Son tie for third place.Although there are a lot of others I could throw into the mix as well.

Don't watch many US TV comedies but if I have to pick one it would be Big Bang Theory.

Comedy movies, Guardians of the Galaxy 1 and 2. Hot Fuzz and RV

Stand up comedians. Billy Connelly, the late Dave Allen and one from the US the late John Pinnette.
