British Humour is in the Genes


Humodour

Recommended Posts

Cable on-demand has some of the British version, and I tried to watch it. I still didn't like it. It's just not funny ... I guess the humor is far too subtle for me and is too much like watching people in a real office occasionally mutter to each other - it puts me to sleep. Hubby doesn't like it either. I guess we're not with it. :ermm:

 

That really is weird. I don't LIKE The Office, but I know it is very very funny. It's just too painful to watch. I can only manage three minutes at a stretch.

I never liked the office, I never found it funny either... The whole thing was wasted on me...

 

What I will say is Extra's is funny :lol:.

Brass Eye, and it's prequal 'The Day Today', are genius.

 

The Day Today is where Alan Partrage started.

Actually, Alan Partridge started in On The Hour on Radio 4, the show upon which The Day Today was based. You can hear it on BBC7 most weeks. Here's this week's.

It's a comedy of embarrisment, which can be painful to watch as it is.

Interesting. I guess I don't embarrass easily or care about being embarrassed, very often, so I don't see the humor.
