@schlockmeister754 'Merican 'humour' just isn't as subtle or sophisticated as British humour. It's like it was aimed at 12.y.o.'s Looking at the racial make-up of the US today, perhaps not so surprising...
Really?! That’s disappointing. I’m American and I absolutely love British humor. Rik Mayall has been a favorite since I was a kid. Absolutely Fabulous, Are You Being Served, The Mighty Boosh, Monty Python, The Young Ones, Faulty Towers, Bottom, Mr. Bean, Black Adder, etc are all totally fantastic
@@artmallory970I wouldn't call "Bottom" sophisticated. Which doesn't matter though, because it's very funny. Perhabs American humour such as "Friends" is sophisticated that much I can't even recognize it as humour. Probably it's just dull and the audience just laugh at it because of the background laughing tape.
@@ArtificialSoul Yes, you're right. 'Bottom' wasn't as 'sophisticated' as other Brit comedy. But it was still done in that quintessentially British way. It's something 'mericans just can't master (much like the Language).
Always had me in stitches laughing so hard at bottom, it was such a funny stupid series, but those ones are usually the best. Great pairing of Rick Mayell (RIP), and Adrian Edmondson.
Richie and Eddie Kidnap a Burglar | Bottom | BBC Comedy Greats 2053pm 17.6.22 literally in stitches, no doubt...? yes... i am being burgled piecemeal... p.s lancs are gettin' thrashed by northants - which is par for the course. lancs is suddenly shit at it - at cricket. obv.
I remember watching an episode of bottom when some American friends were visiting me. They were mystified why I was laughing so much.

Cannot abide American comedy. British comedy is superior in every way.

Rich's "UH UH UH UH" When the police knock sounds like some sort of rodent fearing a predator
0:43 Gets me every time 🤣
Policegentleman: “JUST STOP IT OKAY??????!!!!! 😈”
Richie: “OKAY! 😃”
The best bit of this is Ritchie's attempt to "bash him down with the broom". Priceless!!
When the BBC was great
Just one of the best series ever ..
Imagine trying to get a series made in the BBC today that was INTENTIONALLY offensive.
Eddie's finger point is the funniest part of this scene.
No idea why it's even funny it just is
2:45: “JUST STOP IT!!! OK!!!”
My favourite part.
OK
Ironically I got an ad about burglaries on this video lol!
Ah, "Broken Britain" 🇬🇧

This show is great, hope it comes on IPlayer soon.
'Good on you for the Birmingham Six.'
"so are my eyes!"
0:41 Uh! Uh! UUUH! Uhhh..!
"JUST STOP IT OKAY?!?!"

Extraordinary, thats the mirror opposite of my life

It’s hilarious how many times they are for murdering someone, or accidentally got someone killed with their stupidity.
