t. brit

It's absurdist

>About to watch Monthly Python and The Holy grail
>Ppl say it's shitless funny
>It not funny
>It's shit
The jokes feel so fucking bland. I guess it was good humor back then.

>Can someone explain British humor to me?

Yes, it has a 'u' in it for a start you semi-literate whooptard.

British humor consists mainly of sarcasm which they seem to think means irony.

Its the Picasso of comedy

i legit dont know the difference between sarcasm and irony in this context, can you explain?

Sarcasm is a form of irony.

I personally like the self loathing which is absent from American comedy

>Monty Python
>supposed to be the pinnacle of comedy
Not a single laugh. Even Kids In The Hall is a much funnier troop

>humor
>it has a u in it retard
>retard

Did you only watch The Holy Grail?

Watch Meaning of Life.

>thinking sarcasm and irony are the same
how ironic. I hope your being sarcastic

i mostly find British humor rather dry and dull, but Keeping Up Appearances and Mr. Bean are pretty funny

that's all I've found so far though

...

Never, EVER post a tumblr gif ever again.

HAHAHAHA
It's funny because he says "flesh wound", but he's missing both arms! HAHAHAHAHA

booooo

i was being ironic.

ITT: burgerclaps patting each other backs.
How cute.

Yeah I should have thrown that in there between Late 90's SNL and SCTV. I guess throw Tim & Eric inb4 MadTV as well. MadTV had a lot more misses than hits with their sketches.

Awful fucking taste

Hamburgers and Gonorrhea? what the fuck does that even mean?

what the fuck

if you need it explained, just give up and move on

You must be a Seth Rogan fan

Dumb iCuck frogposting faggot

GOOD MORNING

Normally I'd defend us but we just left the EU for no apparent reason. We're clearly idiots.

Python intentionally made rubbish comedy as a joke to see who'd laugh.
They've said as much in interview.

British here, I don't understand it either

#gamegrumps

There is a certain cuck king you should check out.

So it isn't your cup of tea, but all this hate for based Monty Python.. I wasn’t expecting the Spanish Inquisition…

>that joke
>your head

the only clear idiot here is you my dear boy.

"British humour" is dry and more witty.

cuck detected. Grow some balls you spineless faggot.

British banter > British humor

There's a reason talk and panel shows are becoming more popular over there.

this, with the exception of monty python, for which the idea is that it is beyond absurd.

A lot of modern british comedians are also just not funny. Looking at you, Russell Howard.

The Simpsons isn't a sketch show.

Spaced
Father Ted
The It Crowd
The Office
Jam
Brass Eye
Nathan Barley
Mitchell and Webb
Comic Strip Presents
Extras
Monkey Dust

All fucking quality m8s.

This is actually based on an old medieval tale. Terry Jones has also made a documentary series which is well worth a watch.

America was a mistake

they have a pretty repressed society so acting silly and breaking social mores is funnier to them. Absurdist programs like Mighty Boosh and Python or Limmy's Show appeal to that, as well as things like Keeping up Appearances or Peep Show which are more about examining their strange society from the inside

The other thing is the general pessimism of the country. The best example of this is the differences between British Office and American Office. In Britain the boss is a cringe inducing buffoon, in America another cast member will save him from himself rather than awkwardly standing about. There is an optimism in the american version too, the british version knows that work is the place you go to to waste your life

UCB was dope get lost

fucking hell burgers you can do better than this

"bus turds" sounds like they're retards trying to say bastards
