We only remember the best of comedy shows that float over the water to us. Plus, foreign accents add a certain quaintness that is something of an unfair advantage in comedy comparisons, at times, anyway. It's sort of a pointless debate.
MMmmmmm I'm not taking sides on the US/UK debate, but IS a country that's still part of the Commonweath neutral really? I mean Queen Elizabeth II is the Queen of Australia...the Australian flag is a defaced Blue Ensign (as in...the Union Jack is on it). Doesn't sound neutral to me...
I don't see why people are arguing about English vs. American humor. I prefer british humor but you have to understand that they are different types of humor and all mediums of comedy should be respected.
American comedy is dumbed down a bit to be humorous for the audience, rather than the sophisticated dryness of British humour or for the surrealist comedy, which America does not understand.
I would kill to see the two of them perform live. Or at least Netherhead, which I only know of because of that one random video of them winning an award for it
The British think American comedy sucks because they only watch the shittiest of American shows. There's a big difference between Big Bang Theory and Louie. That being said, Garth Marenghi's Darkplace is one of the funniest things I've ever seen.
Sorry to say but I totally agree. American comedy sucks now: Proof, watch five minutes of "Big Bang Theory" and tell me American comedy isn't total shit.
I don't know how you can even compare the boosh with darkplace. They are both great and funny shows but they have completely different humor. The boosh is silly and all out kind of comedy while darkplace is witty sharp kind of humor. Both are great in their own ways.
