    Canadian weighing in. I love pretty much any British tv shows or movies I've seen, and always have. Except Coronation Street. CS can go hang.

    Mrs. Brown's Boys is Irish. :)

    Just saying'....no I don't think the Yanks get the fact in Ireland, if someone likes you they slag you. If they are polite and nice to you, they don't think you have a good sense of humour or can take a joke.

    I don't believe there is the concept of 'banter' in America like here and UK. For example, when I was slagging American friends they keep saying, "Why are you being so mean to me?"

    I recommend: UK: The Inbetweeners, Outnumbered, The IT Crowd
    Irish: Father Ted, Love/Hate (crime but funny too), Dylan Moran (stand up, was in Run Fat Boy), Black Books (UK/Irish)

    Ok, so all the characters and humour and are Irish but the cash is British. Ok by me!

    Now, don't go trying to claim Father Ted or there will be fisticuffs.

    Ummmm...I'm from The Republic of Ireland...not Northern Ireland. Ye don't 'own' us anymore. Sheesh.

    32 counties in Ireland. Ye only still control 6 of them. The other 26 have their independence nearly 100 years!
