>British comedy >wide variety of jokes ranging from nuanced to over the top, from simple puns to more complex forms of comedy like absurdism etc. >most top-rated comedy shows and films worldwide were produced by the British
>American comedy >hehe sex and farts and poop xD >so pathetic that they have to include a laugh track so that people know what the funny parts are supposed to be >considered to be bottom of the barrel trash by the whole world, including Americans themselves
American comedy shows would be funny if they didn’t have that forced Laugh track
>Sheldin wats komputör >Benny u so domb lole *pause* >BERNARDESCHI
That’s it. That’s pretty much every American “comedy”. The Office is the only decent American TV show that’s funny and even that is because of the absence of a laugh track.

I likes "little Britain" used to watch it with my dad.
Jeremiah Smith
It was an alright show, it just got stale in the later seasons when they pretty much stopped making new characters for their sketches

Yes that's true but I used to watch it when I was relatively young and it's one of my only recurring good memories with my dad
>simpsons formerly a great show. overall it's more shit than good
Americans do excel at animated comedy shows though, in fact they produce best ones. Beavis and Butthead, ATHF, South Park, XRA, Sealab 2021, King of the Hill, Venture Bros. among others are all good American animated comedy shows.

I genuinely believe that the first 7 seasons are far superior to any other comedy made. The fact the past two decades have been garbage doesn't retroactively diminish the earlier stuff.
Joseph Rogers
this is the finest comedy ever made and its british. utterly flawless and never stale. first two seasons of the simpsons are still finding its feet and the show quality started to crack at 6
>posts a joke from 11th season lmaoing @your life based they used to show episodes of fawlty towers in my english class, the whole show also aired here somewhere around 2006 or something on national tv
Robert Bailey
that sketch is overrated. more iconic than gut busting.
I can’t stand American comedy these days, just fucking awful. And you have situations like the Amy Schumer - Netflix shitshow where it just goes to show that bad humor can’t be chastised. Except if it’s edgy and doesn’t conform to their soft and safe innuendo standards, then it doesn’t deserve a platform, of course.
Jordan Powell
>Amy Schumer prime example of what OP was talking about
it's good but quite depressing. more so than the office
Luis Flores

comedy shows are shit. They have to appeal to the masses. In Britain that means they aren't allowed to be funny (don't want to upset anyone) and in America that means they have to be stupid (can't confuse the non-whites.) Real comedy is when a comedian is allowed to do what he wants. Even the process of editing isn't inherently bad, and can actually enhance it.

The only good things that came out of British comedy are Peep Show and Bridget Jones. Ok, Sacha Baron Cohen is good too.
Wyatt Myers
