You know my sister and brother in law said he was crap, they hadn't actually watched him so I put the dvd on and made them watch it, my sister could hardly breathe through laughing and my brother in law managed a giggle or two as well.
Hilarious bloke
Wouldn't you just love to go for a pint with him.

Love the fact he loves his Nan (bless). Maybe he wouldn't go down so well over here, with half the audience not understanding a word he was saying it could be long gig.

I agree - He is more of a cultural legend - his humour is relative to the time and place - although some of it travels ok.
I think one of the things I worry about is losing touch with UK as in 'not being able to understand what topical humour is' as I would have been away for so long. My aunt has been out here for over 30 years and so never recognised anyone on the Peter Kay 'way to amirillo' - I don't want to be an outcast - do you all know what I mean?
So, i intend to keep abreast of news,etc to a degree and hopefully family can update me on Peter Kay and other likewise humour. I don't think there is any nation quite like the UK for an excellent sense of humour.

As a representative sample of 1 in 20 million, Vash not liking him seems to suggest that Aussies don't get his humour which means I can't see him touring out here every few years like Billy Connolly does - shame, Peter Kay is brilliant.

Kay is a mere comedy midget when compared to the iconic greatness of John Cleese, Peter Sellars, Ben Elton, and others.

One of the things I really missed when I lived in Oz, was the British humour. I just could not connect with the Ozzies chatting in the pub, or anything they threw at us on the TV when it came to comedy.
Mother sent out Only Fools & Horses vids in the end, just so I could have a really good laugh.
This sort of thing is subjective - definately. And I believe both nations are quite differenet here.
p.s. By the way - how is Little Britain going down amongst the Aussies?
