    Mark's characters ambivalent attitude to his mates clear fear of his 'dog' is so much like actual dog owners that can't understand how someone can be afraid of the animals.

      @@Jojozilla426 See, this is the problem. An awful lot of dog people seem to be totally oblivious that they're just one particular type of person (a numerous type, sure, but not representative of all humanity), and any suggestion that someone doesn't like dogs is met with genuine wide-eyed surprise followed by pity ('he must be really lonely') and a vague sense of dread that if someone doesn't much care for dogs, they're some kind of sociopath and their next murder must be just around the corner. Whereas in fact, we...um, just don't much care for dogs. Simple as. Dog people need to stop assuming everyone is the same as them, and owning a dog is just something for all normal people. Wrong. This 'oh, he's only playing! He's only being friendly!' waving-away of people's legitimate discomfort around some dogs is *exactly* what this sketch is about.

    The UK and US both have their share of shit comedies (which this is most certainly NOT), it's just that the US ones become successful (The existence of Carlos Mencia, Dane Cook, Seth McFarlane and Will Ferrell is a constant reminder of the general inferiority of American comedy). It's the US' compulsive desire to remake good shows that gets me- their version of The Office is terrible, and they had plans to do The IT crowd and Spaced!

    This is all wrong. American influences have been creeping into British comedy since Phil Silvers. And saying that American Comedy is stand up based and British is skit based is mentally ill. Remember, the shows you watch are not all the shows that exist. There are many great American comedies, maybe more than our British shows. The biggest difference is probably our (British) lenience toward alternative comedy but it can only ever be a matter of opinion, never fact.
