No, our two humours are very different, that's all.

I don't find (most) American comedy funny, and usually our British comedies flop in the US too. It's just different humours, none is better or worse.

And lol which slang words? xD

They just said it's good.

I honestly don't see much difference. Mr.Bean is from UK and the whole world laughs at him, Black Adder too for instance.

Oh, isn't Austin Powers from UK too?

Austin Powers (Mike Myers) is Canadian.

And there is big differences in the transatlantic comedy. British humour is often seen to have smut and innuendo, dry wit, sarcasm and jokes about the establishment and British class system.

American humour is more slapstick or physical comedy, also more sitcoms and observational stuff too.

Both are funny, most British prefer their humour and most US prefer theirs.

That's why Kicked in the nuts was such a hit.

Well, whatever. I don't care where does a joke come from as long as it's funny.

Actually, a lot of American humor uses smut and innuendo, too (well maybe not so much innuendo). That and a lot of racial humor. A lot. It can't really be a good stand-up if there isn't at least 5 jokes playing on racial stereotypes.
