You've just described a guy I used to work with .. :scared: He was a guy from Co. Durham who I think was desperate to be a geordie so kept putting on this ridiculous accent to make things worse... :eek:

Although I think there is good and bad stuff from both countries; I do think that 'Badiel and Skinner Unplanned' is better than 'Merrick and Rosso Unplanned'

Cheers

Re: Different sense of humour??
 

I agree with you Alistair. I think Baddiel and Skinner do a great job because they're better comedians and they are more comfortable with that kind of pressure. Merrick and Rosso aren't quick enough with the comebacks.

Whatever happened to Hamish and Andy? Did they get axed?

I've seen neither Alan Partridge nor Kath and Kim, but British humour is the best in the world :D !

Little Britain is hilarious and I'm sure the Aussies will love it. You have to get into it though - the more you watch it the funnier it gets. I saw Peter Kaye's stand up show the other night and howled with laughter. I had no idea he was so funny. Is Phoenix nights good?

Re: Different sense of humour??
 

Hi there!!!!

If you like Peter Kay stand up ya gotta watch Phonex nights!!!!!!LOL So FUNNY!!!! :D

Enjoy!!!

Cheeky!! :D

Re: Different sense of humour??
 

I love Peter Kay doing stand up but have never got my head around Phoenix Nights. Don't know why :confused:

Re: Different sense of humour??
 

Totally agree "Navid the shopkeeper" total genius. :) :D

"hey winston yer pishin on ma tanktop"

Re: Different sense of humour??
 

His recent jokes have been in rather poor taste though!!

Peter Kay - top man - love pheonix nights - i suspect they wont 'get' that in other countries. I know many 'southerners' who don't get it. Having lived in the midlands and spent many many nights in working mens clubs I can relate to everything in pheonix nights

I prefer Peter Kayes standup - especially Bolton Halls - watched it 6 times now, just so I don't miss bits when I'm hysterical.
Cas :D

We were watching with interest the channel 5 uk- Best British commedian. the last five were all good-......and the winner voted by the public, is Billy Connolly. - Wonder how he feels about his poor taste joke after the events of the last few days in Iraq?!

Re: Different sense of humour??
 

I see that you have a complete understanding of the word 'subtle' stoney. As one who has lived in both countries for many years I disagree completely. Brit humour is definately the best in the world but the Aussies have a very laconic sense of humour which I for one appreciate very much. As for teenage toilet humour, Benny Hill was the absolute king in that category. I believe that you also must enjoy a good joke and have a keen sense of humour Stoney, you need one to be a Man City supporter.

Re: Different sense of humour??
 

l know what you mean about the British having a different sense of humour after Billy Connolly's joke about how he wished the terrorists would just hurry up and chop the guys head off.

Re: Different sense of humour??
 

I'm sure there's people with good and also people with a crappy sense of humour in both U.K and OZ, It's just that I haven't found many people since I've been over here, that I can have a bloody good laugh with....!!!
Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong places...?
If anyone could head me in the right direction, I'd be very grateful....??!
