I just think they'll have to change too much.

For example Emily the Rubbish Transvestite relies in part on Britain's long tradition of drag (pantomime, Monty Python, Kenny Everett etc). We find men dressed as women inherently funny, so the audience immediately accepts the humour in the situation. Would a man dressed as an Edwardian lady be a fit subject for humour in the American Midwest for example?

I am thinking about this too hard aren't I? I look forward to seeing it anyway, it's a win-win situation. You either get to deride it and claim Lucas & Walliams have sold out (thus gaining a measure of superiority over rich, talented, successful people) or you split your sides laughing. It's all good babe.
