And then there's the British humour of guys like Peter Kay and Jasper Carrot. And the horribly sarcastic humour of Jack Dee who gets picked on every year during comic relief...
It's a weird little clip that. The great thing is though, it's from BBCAmerica. Chances are it was directed by an American.
Don't forget the humour of Fawlty Towers and Monty Python...they're classics.
Edit:
Anyone seen The Smoking Room? That's a pretty good program. Anorther branch of British humour. I urge you to download a couple of episodes and watch them!
Why? They're weird, I give you that, but they are good. You don't find the Dead parrot Sketch, or the Bruces, or the 4 yorkshiremen (OK, maybe the Parrot Sketch in "And Now For Something COmpletely Different) in any of the films. There are loads of great sketches that are only found in the Flying Circus series.
Maybe you just haven't seen enough (or the right) Flying Circus to like it. There are some really good skits.
I do agree that the movies are better, though.
The best parts about Flying Circus is quoting it with friends.
We'll be sitting at work, and someone will ask for a cigarette. I'll pipe up, "I will not buy this record... It is scratched." What? "Oh, I will not buy this... tobaconnist... It is scratched."

What is it they say about silence being golden?
