It's interesting to note that Matt Stone and Trey Parker were heavily influnced by British comedy.

Many Americans have good humor in my experience (look at George Carlin), but there are too many Americans that are too earnest so that results in too much Everybody Loves Raymond and the like. America needs to be invaded to develop a better sense of humor.

Cos IT crowd is fucking funny.
Then again, Metalocapypse is a lot better than a lot of comedy around these days.
Good sitcoms to watch are spaced and green wing. Good sketch shows are smack the pony and chewing the fat.
here's some clips from chewing the fat

Some smack the pony

Spaced:

Black books is awesome, I haven't properly watched peep show but when it comes on it pisses me off and I stop watching. Father Ted, Red Dwarf and The Mighty Boosh are good as well.

People that let everyone know they watch British comedy over American comedy are just pretentious fucks that need attention. American comedy is no worse nor better than any other foreign comedy -- it just has a different accent and more chance for losers to try to impress you with their knowledge of foreign television (as if we give a fuck).

I watched a lot of Red Dwarf in college, its a very funny British comedy.

Dude, what about in the film the holy grail, where they have all the naughty nuns who must be spanked?
Peep show pissed me off when I saw it, as I was watching season four and none of it made sense. It's a very long, very slow joke and you have to watch it from the first season to see it.

I thought Holy Grail was funny ... when I was eleven. Don't get me wrong, I'm not claiming it's entirely unfunny, Monty Python are comedians and they do hit their mark sometimes, but it feels too much like luck when they do.

The British version of The Office was much better than the American version IMO.

I liked the British version of "The Office". In fact, I saw that before I saw the American version. I like the American version better, but the Brits did it well too.
