Do you prefer British or American comedy? 🤩🎭
Yes!
@@Tmanaz480 Thanks Mate!
Both
@@lexkanyima2195 us too!
I'm in the set of people who really don't find "American" comedy funny, Ive watched any number of shows and at best I've smiled .. not sure what that means
We have heard that same sentiment from others, maybe English comedy is a bit funnier!
I have to 99% agree with You. But the 1% missing is for the American shows "CHEERS" & "FRASIER"
@ Yes you're right Mate, those are classics! 🤩
Isn’t the big difference that American comedy is about the line or action, and British comedy is about the reaction to that line or action?
Another thing is that British comedies can happily have a Basil Fawlty or Rupert Rigsby in the lead, whereas the American lead has to be likeable..
Yes really good points! Thanks for sharing mate
American "comedy" is weak and corny compared to British class. Think instant coffee compared to the real thing. Our whole approach to humour is far more sophisticated than the painting by numbers kind of stuff the Americans churn out. I suppose it depends what you're brought up with. I'm glad I was brought up on this side of the pond.
Good points, cheers mate!
That's NOT Peter Sellers (in the Alec Guinness section)
That actor was Dennis Price, Peter Sellers was never in Kind hearts & coronets.
Try to get it right if you're going to do these types of video otherwise what's the point.
Good point thank you mate!
@@WhyFunnyUA-cam I don't mean to add to the pile but you were talking about Fiona Shaw during the Killing Eve segment but you were showing footage of Phoebe Waller-Bridge
@@lunatickgeo thanks for the feedback mate!
@ no worries! forgot to add, you still made very interesting points in your video 🙂
Thanks so much, we really appreciate that!
American comedy is all about persona and reasonably amusing scripts working to a pattern which becomes too predictable. The American series is too often too long and they try always to avoid audience and sponsors offence.
The Brits just let rip without any deference to audiences and the skill of the well trained actors working brilliant scripts that rarely work a series to death, makes the difference between the two styles of comedy.
definitely agree! Thanks for sharing Mate!
1:34 Aw, why did you have to cut that clip before the moment which made it funny?
Sorry about that mate!
Nice!
Thank you! Cheers!
I'm appalled that you can't tell Loretta Young from Dame Maggie Smith!! I mean, Really???
Ok. I was wondering who that was.
sorry about that mate!
I think that is why IT Crowd did not work in the US. My funniest movies are Holy Grail, Caddyshack, Fish Called Wanda and Airplane.
Yes good point! And those are some great classics!! Thanks for sharing 🤩👍
The Office ...the Original funny, the US version not so .The Inbetweeners brilliant ,the US version pathetic ......we are just so much better ,look at our panel shows ,and compare them to Gutfeld FFS
good point!
One is funny while the American isn`t.
good point Mate lol 🤭
I think I like both for different reasons
Good point, us too!
Threatical? Really?
Hi mate, what do you mean?
The UK hands down!!! Take the show "Man About The House" from the UK..funny show and I laughed a lot. When the USA got ahold of it, it turned into 'Three's Company' one of the dumbest show to ever be on TV.
Good point!!!
I think it's best to not remake them and show the original instead, you'll always get an audience for that. A uniquely British or American comedy isn't going to work if remade for a slightly different culture. Monty Python crossed the pond but could you imagine it working if it had been remade?
Yes such a good point!
