      My -face- _fave_ from Red Dwarf, was the forbidden passion fruit jibe from Rimmer to Lister. I remember it well but I'll have to google it to get the exact wording...
      "Why didn't you have a mum?"
      "I was abandoned."
      "Abandoned?"
      "Six weeks old. A cardboad box underneath the pool table. I was just abandoned in this pub."
      "How could anybody do that?"
      "I don't know. I never found out."
      "Well, I'd have thought it was obvious. *Two people, unable to contain their desires, had an illicit liason. A liaison that an unforgiving society would not accept. And you were the fruit of their forbidden passion. You're forbidden passion fruit."*
      "What are you saying?"
      "I'm saying, Lister, that there's a very real possibility that your parents were brother and sister."
      "Hey, I'm baring my innermost here! What kind of remark is that?"
      "How many toes have you got?"
      - _Rimmer taunts Lister_
      Sidenote; I just found an old website with loads of quotes. I'll post that separately.

    North American comedy shows generally tend to feature attractive people in situations about aspiration and success. In Britain, it tends to be more about maintaining good manners in the face of failure and life not turning out the way you hoped it would.

      Indeed! - the ending of the Blackadder series was very poignant! - wouldn't get away with that sort of sobriety in an American sit-com (I'd love to be proven wrong though)

    • @Bartok_J
      @Bartok_J Місяць тому +1

      I've also heard the suggestion that North American audiences want the star of the show to be the cool guy with the funniest lines, whereas British audiences expect them to be the butt of the jokes.
      Though I'm not convinced - Fonz in Happy Days certainly fitted into the first category, but Family Guy and American Dad? No.
      An awful lot of British sitcoms also centre around people being trapped in situations with people they have a strained relationship with: Steptoe and Son, Arkright and Granville (Open All Hours), Mainwaring and Wilson (Dad's Army), Fawlty and Manuel etc.
