I only laugh at the American jokes here.


Though I sometimes laugh at the Astralians, but not so much because of their jokes.

Honestly it all depends- I like comedy from all different places. I like some British comedy and some is too dry for me.
I love the Mighty Boosh though and that can be dry giggle

american humor is funny as heck but when you compare it to bri'ish you'll find it pale as can be.

bri'ish comedy is seriously CRAZY when it comes to the tiniest bits of details, it's so real you'd be so surprised.

out of all the american comedies i've watched so far, the closest to reality i've seen, believe it or not, is Family Guy. They go into that deep zone of everyday life details.

I'm not sure if this'll make sense, but one example from family guy being when Stewie gets a big ass shred of glass stuck into his forehead and the 1st thing he said was: "Omg do i take it off or do i leave it, TAKE IT OFF OR FREAKIN LEAVE IT??" and he goes around running in circles, panicking and crying.

That's EXACTLY what happened to me when i was 10.

Three guys, one Irish, one English, and one Scottish are out walking along the beach together one day.

They come across a lantern and a Genie pops out of it. "I will give you each one wish, that's three wishes in total", says the Genie.

The Scottish guy says, "I am a fisherman, my Dad's a fisherman, his Dad was a fisherman and my son will be one too. I want all the oceans full of fish for all eternity."

So, with a blink of the Genie's eye "FOOM" the oceans were teaming with fish.

The Englishman was amazed, so he said, "I want a wall around England, protecting her, so that no one will get in for all eternity."

Again, with a blink of the Genie's eye "POOF" there was a huge wall around England.

The Irishman asks, "I'm very curious. Please tell me more about this wall."

The Genie explains, "Well, it's about 150 feet high, 50 feet thick, protecting England so that nothing can get in or out."

The Irishman says, "Fill it up with water."

C'mon now falloff

An Englishman an Irishman and a Scotsman were in a pub, talking about their sons.

My son was born on St George's Day," commented the Englishman. "So we obviously decided to call him George."

"That's a real coincidence," remarked the Scot. "My son was born on St Andrew's Day, so obviously we decided to call him Andrew."

"That's incredible, what a coincidence," said the Irishman. "Exactly the same thing happened with my son Pancake."
