I actually enjoy alot of British culture, I grew up on BBC watching British gangster movies and way too much Dr.Who. (ie Layer Cake, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Get Carter, Snatch, etc etc)
It also saddened me to see what we Americans did with Top Gear and Being Human. I am sure there are more shows which we have trashed, but none I can think of at this moment.

Wow. You must be pretty clued up on our culture then?

Aww Tis a shame. No laughter? This guy is huge in the UK. I actually went to see him a few days ago. I cried from laughing so hard.

We're probably not that interesting. Depends on if you're interested in the history or fish & chips.

Other than that my friends are just bikers, not partial on seafood but I do prefer it deep fried in batter.

What, Queen Liz 2? O.o How the fuck did you get that link?

That's because that was mostly jokes related to our stereotypes and about the Scottish vote for independence. Anyone outside of the situation wouldn't understand as you just weren't there. It's not really an example of British humour. It's just humour about Britains stereotypes in my opinion.

I don't usually laugh at stand up comedies, but instead have a sensation of laughing with a poker face. Mainly because of facial expressions, voice changing and people laughing in the background. Smile

Hidden Lesson: Reactions are always instinctive whereas responses are always well thought of.
