You can’t beat British humour! One thing we are still best at in the world

[JennyTals]

I know it a time of terrible doom and gloom
trump, putin, shit weather, people struggling

but thank FUCK
for our good old sense of humor that keeps us strong !

I agree with a pp, if this is an example of British humour then I am eternally glad I don't live there and have to be constantly subjected to it.

You really aren't as funny as you think you are.

Yes.

So are we!

I do wish MN would produce a yawn reaction emoji.

🥱

How old are you, Benny Hill? Are those comedies still being exported to other countries??

The Thick Of It is old now but I think epitomises British humour. I have Danish family and they love the British humour.

Why are you on a British based forum if the idea of Britain in seemingly every form is repugnant to you!

It’s heavily satirical, self deprecating and has a way of lightening fairly bleak situations.

Have you ever seen Blackadder?

They can’t stand anyone else having a good time. The kind of person who develops a migraine if somebody laughs.

Have you ever seen Blackadder?*

I agree and like I said, I enjoy a lot of it. It's not uniquely British though.

'Blackadder' isn't uniquely British??

Neither is Big Ben apparently

There’s a lot of people who are really annoyed at how funny we British are. 😂

I mentioned humour (and the NHS) and yet somehow you have deduced that the idea of Britain in every form is repugnant to me

I do like some British humour, I never said I didn't, but there is also some I don't find funny at all, and some I really don't understand. What I object to most about some Brits is this idea that they are better than everyone else.

Well you really are showing your ignorance here. I laugh a lot, every day, and from reading MN I would say I have a far better sense of humour than the many, many, posters on here who take themselves, and life, oh so seriously.

You however, aren't actually funny, you are deluding yourself if you think you are. Maybe it's just that I happen to appreciate a more sophisticated sense of humour.

You’ll be objecting to an empty room then because nobody has said that

I laugh a lot, every day

😂😂😂😂

@Goldenbear I was referring to (British ) humour not Blackadder. Obviously.

Eh, how did you arrive at that conclusion!

I am sure your posts lambast Britishness on every thread, seems an odd thing to pursue on a British forum. Quite rude.

Oh right mate

Some of our comedy is superb.

😂

What kind of 'sophisticated' humour? Perhaps we can get some inspiration from your recommendations?

@NattyTurtle59
You sound a laugh a minute. Not at all arrogant....

@vivainsomnia Sorry but Only Fools and Horses is hilarious.
