: Now, when I see Monty Python commercials, the only thing I see that Americans dont do regularly is run around in parks and kick each other in the ass. If thats comedy, then you people are sheltered. But, then again, it looks like Jackass Johnny Knoxville has stolen your comedy. Better go smash him with a block while you drink your vodkas like on another "classic" AbFab.
I'm so pissed off with this whole British comedy/ Monty Python connection. STOP IT! It was a long time ago. Forget about Python. We have. You want to know what's British comedy now?
Spaced - Fantastic sitcom directed as if it were an early Sam Raimi film.
Jam - Weird ass sketch show from Chris Morris. The genius behind Brass Eye.
Marion and Geoff - Oh the genius of one bloke driving a car and talking to a camera. I tell you its amazing.
People Like Us- Fake documentary. As is The Office, starting this week. Utter, utter genius.
And the fantastic Intelligent Brian, coming soon to www.angrynakedpat.com. But then I'm a damn limey, and you saved our arses in WW2.
