Which do you guys think is funnier, American or British Comedy?

Futurama....
Will and Grace....

Good lord!

Aside from a few episodes of Frasier or Seinfeld, I cant think of an american TV comedy that has made me laugh out loud. There are lots of good american comedians, they just make movies, not TV.

I can remember 2 Canadian shows that I liked:

Wayne and Schuster and the Red Green Show.

Red Green is great!

ACK!

There are more good US programs, but there are UK shows that are better. It's difficult to choose, really.

I watch but two shows regularily: The Simpsons and South Park. nuff said!

Well there was this British show I used two watch, can't remember the name. I'll get back to ya. Two raving mad middle aged blokes... Hilarious!

Anyone watching My Family on Friday nights in UK? OK I guess you have to be married to get the most of it but it is bloody brilliant

[SpencerH]

Ooh, I forgot South Park and Married with children. They make me laugh.

Tough call! I think it's fair to say I follow more American shows and enjoy them very much, but some British series makes me really laugh out loud. Coupling is SO good I go crazy, Mr Beans early things.. Fastshow and Harry Enfield shows in general are great.. makes me laugh and roll on the floor (I'm considerably richer than you!)...

Hale & Pace! That's the kind of British humour I like (well I like other stuff too)

[SpencerH]

Hale and Pace, are they still alive?

[MikeH]

Both have some very funny shows. It's great to have both.

Black Adder 0wnZ Simpsons.
Futurama 0wnZ Black Adder.
Made in Canada 0wnZ Futurama.
Monty Python 0wnZ Made in Canada.

Meh.

Not even close - British.

And yes, Canadians are funnier than Americans too.

Just look how many Canadian comedians the US has imported - Norm McDonald, Howie Mandell, Tom Green, Matthew Perry, Rich Little, Mike Myers, Martin Short, Leslie Nielsen, Jim Carrey, Dan Aykroyd, Colin Mochrie, Alan Thicke, Phil Hartman, Michael J. Fox.

Replace Howie Mandell with Eugene Levy!

To tell you the truth i'm more familiar with American Comedy, they definitely show it more here in Estonia.
But i prefer British myself, even based on a few i've seen.
