British vs. American Comedy: What's the Difference? (The office) 

It's funny how many people don't believe that The Office is a TV show from UK , but then US made one and had a lot of fans inclunding me , i love The Office

Hi everyone, it’s Callie 🇺🇸 Actually after filming, I’m even more curious about British humor. Definitely going to watch some of the British sitcoms recommended by Lauren and in the comments ❤️

Lauren here 🇬🇧 always nice to look at differences between the US and the U.K.! I also recommended Miranda and The Inbetweeners for Callie (and the PDs to watch) if you have any more comedy shows etc from ANY country, it would be great to hear 💚

The more I see Lauren and Callie together on their own, the more I love this duo despite missing Christina. Love Lauren wearing her dungarees (starting to call them that! More fun to say than overalls)! Callie looks nice in her cardigan!

I love sarcastic characters like Chandler ( Friends ) , Barney ( How i met your mother ) or Sheldon ( The Big Bang Theory )

Every time British humor and US humor are compared on this channel I feel the descriptions of US humor are wrong in many ways. Yes, we have relatable humor, but there is so much sarcasm in the US. Most people I know are highly sarcastic, banter and constantly use self deprecating humor. We also watch a lot of British comedies and comedians and love them. So many of us have very dark senses of humor too.

I'm American so I find American comedies and humor more funny but I do like some British humor too like the show Chewing Gum was funny!

My grandmother was English. She used to say things like, "You can get used to anything if you do it long enough, even hanging," THAT was her sense of humor!!

As a European I find British humour more close to mine. With Americans ist hilarious how they tell you when they are being sarcastic. Unwillingly that's really really funny

Hello World Friends, can you please double check your typos before posting the video if possible :)? There used to be a typo in every other video, but this time it's in the title! It's not a big deal because I can still understand what you meant, but I thought you'd like to know!

I started to apreaciate British humour the first time i watched a Monty Python's film, after that... i discover the wonderful and hilarious sketch show Flying Circus made by them, Splunge! Greetings from Costa Rica 🇨🇷

Lauren talking about Miranda!!!! God I love that show

I'm the same as Cali (I'm also from USA btw (I am way too super gulible) BUT I'm getting better at it though

I love them both (by reading them) Callie is more of an simple minded, innocent sensitive person... Lauren is Direct , witty and quick. _I guess Most Americans think before talking to make sure no one gets offended, because it can cause riots n shit(Hyperbole)_ BUT ANYWAY, HUMOUR VARIES WITH EVERY INDIVIDUAL .... I have actually self deprecating humour, only intelligent people understand that I'm being self-coping, stupids use that against me.

LOVED watching Monty Python’s Flying Circus back in the day. I actually own “Monty Python and the Holy Grail” on DVD!!

It's the first time I heard the soft Liverpool accent on Lauren

I prefer American sitcoms over British comedy. I'm not sure, but perhaps most shows in the Netherlands are from the US and grew up with it. There are British shows, compared to US shows, Dutch networks have more more US shows and not streaming services like Netflix, HBO Max, Disney+, Prime Video have mostly American shows. So while growing up and still is mostly it's American, so used to it and perhaps that's why liking it more.

I feel like people used to say that British humor is more dark and gloomy, but with shows like It's Always Sunny and Bojack Horseman it is harder to say that is the case.

I'm American and saw the UK one first. I LOVED it. Saw a few clips of the American one when it came out, and just... nah. Not for me.

I think The Office is one of the few times where people actually like the US version as much as the original, if not more. I have seen British people saying that while they love both they actually prefer the US version.

Let’s do diferencies between Peruvian Spanish and another Spanish

Havent seen the video yet, but the title cracks me up!

Cheers from the Pacific West Coast of Canada.

Good video but I think two clips weren't enough

"Aemrican" humor. Good one haha

Oh my! I just watched this vdo after what happened between Will Smith and Chris Rock in Oscar. I agree with Callie that making fun of people could be funny but it has a line. I don't support of what Will did but Chris had REALLY crossed that line though.

Both Offices are great, both for VERY different reasons.

I’m a very direct person and like when others are too. Sometimes I don’t get sarcasm either, it might be an American trait. I think we tend to take things literally.

Thanks guys, always interesting!

The American comedian is the smart talker whereas as the British comic is the down on his luck type. The American has a positive outlook whereas as Lauren like most Brits is always a little down on herself. Brits always think they are a bit better than they are.Americans always see the sun.

These two are very comfortable together. It’s a joy to watch.

I love this channel, but does anyone else feel like the lighting/exposure is a bit excessive?

Laura , Cali ! Excellent ! 👏👏different comedy UK and US , but Cali please! Don’t cry is you visit UK jj

With the American Office I was like "boooorrriinng, let me switch the channel." but with the British one I immediately burst out into laughter as soon as it started. (I'm Dutch)

I'm Southeast Asian but I tend to like UK humor more, I don't like the USA humor that much...I don't even like the humor in our country's tv shows which is worse than the American ones. UK and East Asian humor is much more relatable to me.

I heard they say americans use normal things making it crazy, whereas brits take crazy stuff pretending like normal haha

yes i love the title… “Aemrican” 🇺🇸😂

I noticed the title has a typo error. Was that deliberate?

"Mind you Language" Tv show is british one. I loved it when I watched it in youtube. It has amercian version as well. But I dnt knw why, british version of that show attracted me a lot. I love those actors who played spanish, italian, japanese etc. I love Mr Brown and all other characters. It is a gem

A spelling error in this title Aemrican lol it's American 😆😂🤣

Elaine's dance on Jerry Seinfeld

Was the title also a comical thing or a typo with the Aemrican Humor instead of american.

British humour is self deprecating . American humour is always wanting to be the hero/redemption story. That's the difference.

I love American comedy 🤣🤣🇺🇸 always watched it growing up too, and the American animated comedy lol and I’m from New Zealand 🇳🇿 and Kevin hart is the best 🤣🎭

American humor is so different I find it different to get used to

How about Robin Williams or a clip of Robin Williams or Abbot amd Costello, "Who's on first."

Typo in Title of the Video 😁 Aemrican.

Would you ever tryin with South Asian friends

The title has typo right? American?

the typo in the title 😂

The USA has a lot of subcultures. In my culture banter is common starting from a little kid. For example we do this thing called “your mama” jokes. We all laugh about it. So we learn as little kids to hone bantering on skills with your mama jokes. And then older when we are at gatherings with friends and family we commonly rib each other. I make fun of people and they make fun of me. It’s delightful. Actually if we don’t make fun of you then it probably means we don’t like you and or we think you’re a fuddy duddy. I think there are other kinds of comedy too. Like there’s the family comedy which I loved Fresh Prince of Bel Aire and then there’s the raunchy comedy. I like both. I used to watch Benny Hill as a kid (when my parents weren’t home) and laugh my head off. 😂

Humor is best represented by the girls' faces.

Wait I feel like I missed the video , they didn't really compare much did they ? Like 2 clips from the office and Jennifer Lawrence? Jennifer Lawrence isn't seen as a funny person so I don't really get it

British humour is indeed very dry. American humour is quite more diverse I would say, but what I don’t like is the way some shows or movies still mock other people’s cultures. Whenever there is a Canadian, French, Latino, German etc. character, they’re almost always accompanied by clichés pertaining to their culture of origin. What the directors don’t realise is that most American shows and movies are viewed worldwide and so their audience might probably be annoyed.

Aemrica. 😭😂

i don’t agree with these generalizations but whatever. also bad examples in my opinion and Jennifer Lawrence (who was being interviewed on that clip of the Graham Norton Show) is American. like as an American I have never found the US version of The Office funny. On the other hand shows like Nathan for You, Broad City, Eric Andre Show, 30 Rock, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Rick & Morty, etc. are hilarious.

Perfect

Between those two British? Hands down, British humour. American humour is so obvious. I like biting satire and very dry wit, Americans just have no idea how to be less obvious.

I am from India where we use both types of jokes 😎

I don't know if you noticed, but your title has a spelling mistake, it says Aemrican Humor instead of American Humor

It's kind hard having sarcastic humor, because people often don't know if i'm joking or being serious, and it's difficult being understood when i'm speaking but when i'm texting it's even worse

It's always good to see Lauren from the UK .

Ricky Gervais is a genius

Python was great, much better than SNL (so was SCTV), the British are better at sketch comedy, because they're better actors. Americans are better at stand-up. R. Dangerfield, R. Pryor, E. Murphy, F. Brooks, D. Rickles, and J. Winters were all geniuses. Also, their best sitcoms have come from stand-up guys starting a show (Newhart, Seinfeld, Romano, to name a few).

Sarcastic is my identification

"Do you the differences between American and British humor?" That tickles me. Lol

Aemrican Urles!

In Australia generally the more offensive names you call each other the closer you are as friends.

Personally I prefer the UK sense of humour to the American one...

Thank you UK for giving us Monty Python and Mr. Bean.

In Germany we have "mother jokes"

U may wanna check the title… 😫😬

British humor is the best!

British humor is Black Books for me

Typo in the title. ❤️

UK sit com"s streets ahead.

Spell check your headline, guys! aEmrican?!? 🤷🏻‍♀️

I am from Bangladesh

The first clip was out of context

come on guys, you mispelled american twice!

British Office is so much better

The UK version of The Office is much, much darker and more dismal/depraved, but the characters are also less cartoony and more believable as real people. Compare Gareth to Dwight - literally every office in the US or UK has someone like Gareth: painfully uncool, next to zero dignity, pathetic, and sycophantic. Dwight, on the other hand, is also all of those things, but more of an abrasive asshole who goes out of his way to sow discord among his coworkers and acts as a central antagonist in the US version. Personally I find Dwight an over-the-top cliché and not believable as a person. He mellows out a bit in later seasons but still leaves me overall unconvinced.

Ah yes, I love “Aemerican” humor 😂

Untied Staets of Aemrica

It would have been nice to see the clips. Even a dubbed over of the clip or pitched higher to avoid copyright

The title of the video needs to be corrected

Weird choice of clips from The Office…

Aemrican Humor, nice

Curb Your Enthusiasm!

When you watch that and know only "kind of" and "like" words be like. Like like my kind of like comment. Like!

How can ANY British person say thay they are uncomfortable making fun of another person? My bloody god that’s what British humour is built on, the greater you take the piss out of you’re friends the closer they are to you.,. The lassie does NOT represent the UK

“Americans laugh at others” - shows a clip of Jennifer Lawrence telling an embarrassing story about herself… 🙄

❤️

Most British people don’t really like American humor and not just because we spell it without the “u”.

Lol what's going on with that Channel ? Since I desubscribed cuz it's always US and UK. There are less viewers

When will you change the background? The white one is annoying to the eyes 👀

Fix that title

Sounds like Lauren is remembering Miranda Hart.

I really like how this channel presents such relatable people

Wait, the video example for making fun of others vs. self was literally an American making fun of herself.
