Hard crowd to get a laugh out of, at least I thought it was hilarious.

The thing I learned many years ago is that some people "get" British humor and like it and many can't "get" it.

I found that fact odd.

Culture clash, had I watched this video the year it had been filmed, would have thought it repulsive.

Situational comedy isn't to everyone's taste. It seems contrived to me. Especially when they add the laugh tracks.

I like comedy that sneaks up from behind and playfully gives you a wet willie. It's like wow ... never in a million years would i have seen THAT one coming. Good one Bro. ! :)

I was trying to think of an example. Jim Carey's movie "Me, Myself & Irene" was pretty good. The dildo scene ?

I couldn’t watch that one so I looked it up on YouTube. I thought it was quite funny. I love British humor though. Mr. Bean, a newer show called The Royals, Sorry!, Are You Being Served, Andy Capp. There’s a ton out there I haven’t even discovered. Now I’m adding this one to the list to watch. Thanks for sharing.

That reminds me of a joke:


One night a man and his wife were tangled in the grips of passion. The husband suddenly sticks his finger in his mouth, gets it good and wet, then sticks it in his wife’s ear. The wife is suddenly stunned and with a chuckle says “Hey, don’t give me a wet willie!”
The Husband looks at his wife and replies “Why not? You’re giving me one!”
