A good sense of humour Americans best at it or British?

irish humour is the best! though I'll go with British here because it's similar..:)

I prefer British humour. Sometimes, I find it difficult to understand American jokes, let alone laugh at them. :-) Of course, that might just be me, but I have a lot of favourite British Comedy Films/Shows that I like, including Mr. Bean (whom I think is hilarious) lol, Black Adder, Monty Python and the Holy Grail and the Life of Brian, to mention but a few. One American guy I do find funny at times, not all of his works, is Mel Brookes. I loved The Young Frankenstein and Blazing Saddles was quite funny. I like a good laugh!

I would have to say the British, being Australian I think I identify with their humour more, I love their humour.

Both can be very good and I've also seen bad of both. Overall though I'm more familiar with American humor since I'm from the States. Now Canadian humor seems to combine both together I've noticed and can be very good. I think humor, like so many other things, diversity is a good thing.

I prefer British comedys over American ones. My favourites being Monty Python and Black Adder.

I don't think one has a better sense of humor than the other. They're just different. Monty Python is a riot; so is Jon Stewart. They're just different.

Scottish is best and you would know that lol . was at the lang toon yesterday . nice to meet you xx

I'm American but I grew up watching British humor as my dad grew up watching it as well. I like both but I prefer British humor (a more dry humor). I've always been a huge fan of the Monty Python TV show and movies and I also really enjoy Sacha Baron Cohen.

I think British people have a very dry, reserved sense of humour wheras Americans are more boistorous, offensive and make stupid things look funny (ie; Jacka$$, Dude wheres my car, Dumb and Dumber, The Cable Guy, Billy Maddison, etc). In comparison I'd say Aussies have a very laid back sense of humour, can be sarcastic, can be dumb, can be witty, so I'm throwing another one into the mix, and thats my pick. GO AUSSIES GO! How about yourself?

It's really hard to tell, of course I like both and it depends on the movie in question but on the whole I may find British comedy more "classy" than American :)

I always thought the British had a marvelous sense of humor and of the ridiculous BUT I recently posted about Charles & Camilla's visit to Phila and British Bashing. It was meant ot be tongue in cheek but a couple of the Brits were so thin skinned that I think I'm re-evaluating the humor situation. Americans took in on the chin here for weeks of bashing and came back with their sense of humor intact so I'll give it to the Yanks on this one! PS I only had a few resposnes to that posting and maybe it's not enough to really judge but I think I'll give the sense of humor award to the US anyway. We need a little pat on the back. It's been a bad couple years.

Answering this is like adding apples and oranges.I love Eddie Brill, Are You Being Served, Monty Python and Benny Hill's humors and then again I love the Blue Collar Comedy Tours, Margaret Cho, the Colbert Report, and Lewis Black. I guess I have to say my favorite is depending on the subject matter.

I find that the British sense of humour is quite weird and witty, wheras the American sense of humour tends to be quite corny (i'm thinking of Friends when I say this). I definately prefer the British sense of humour, not because I am British, but because I find that I can relate to it more. At the moment i'm really enjoying watching Little Britain and I also love the warped humour of the the League of Gentleman. I've heard that they're making an American version of The Office, i'd really like to see it to see if the humour differs at all from the British version.

I prefer the British sense of humour as opposed to the American, but I suppose it's only natural to think your own country's sense of humour is the best as thats what you have grown up with. Although the best comedy film I saw was American an that was Wayne's World, but you can't beat the good old British comedians like Peter Kay, Jo Brand and not forgetting 'Little Britain!'

I like the dry British humour most, it gets under my skin! American slapstick can be good as well but it often becomes too farfetched for my taste.

Generally, I like British humour, perhaps that is no surprise being a Brit, I like the anarchic, surreal and often silliness of it, which is rare in American humour in my subjective opinion. However, The Simpsons is most excellent, well done! all the best urban

depends on every`s calture.some humour you think best but others not think so.a good humour maybe a foreigner can not understand,yes?

americans...duh
