Are you saying we have no understanding of American culture even though we have simply osmosised, ectyped and shrunk-to-fit everything you have sent over on your really big ships?

Hahahahahah. I've said it before I'll say it again. Class in a glass.
We get a fair bit of American comedy via the Comedy Central channel on sky tv....usually anything that does well on our branch of Comedy Central then makes it onto terrestrial....Politically Incorrect is good I liked that back when I had skytv....I think you're right about some of the comedy being more culturally specific than others though UT.....there are some areas where the sense of the joke doesnt necessarly translate but I really think it works across the water more oftne than it doesnt....either that or our TV network execs are doing a damn fine job of streaming out the really really
American stuff
Even the politics....We get a fair amount of Stateside political coverage over here, especially during an election year....oh and any time you guys do something really really strange so that we can all look superior, roll our eyes and say "only in America" *blinks*
Mostly though.....I think humour divides more alongclass/economic or political identity lines than along National ones.
