    I intend to wear the most magnificent pair of trousers ever to issue forth from the delicate hands of Messrs Snibcock and Turkey, Couturiers to the Very Wealthy and the Extremely Fat.

    Rowan Atkinson (speaking of Black Adder) is among those who 'top' the British humour list! :0)

    Ok...oops, I spelt it wrong though (been awhile!) I think I'll have to re-watch some of these myself (and check out Absolutely Fabulous! :wink:) Thanks!

    I think my fav as a kid (early to mid 80's), was Benny Hill, and Mr Bean!

    Is the spelling error in that poster supposed to be there? I can't tell if spelling acquire as 'aquire' is part of the joke?

    Poor spelling drives me insane!

    Some good British comedies, if anyone is interested. Although You certainly can't go wrong with Fry and Laurie and Blackadder.

    Peep Show, Nathan Barley, The IT Crowd, Brass Eye, The Day Today, Garth Marenghi's Dark Place, The Mighty Boosh, Father Ted (Irish), Red Dwarf, The Office (UK Version!), The Young Ones, Bottom, I'm Alan Partridge, The League of Gentlemen...I could go on but I'll stick with those for now. I imagine British humour is a bit odd to anyone who is new to it, as it is traditionally, dry, severe, sarcastic and also often surreal.
