[quote=GUESTPADDYSLEG,352819]I think it very much depends on the culture you are brought up in as to whether you find something funny of not.  I hail from Ireland originally and we all have a great sense of humor... i think "paddy irishman" has been around for sometime now...

i think the Americans have a good sense of humour but find their comedy to be very canned and slapstick (although robin williams has to be one of the funniest people on the planet!)

i think british humor is much more plain but this makes it more "real" as one can usually relate to it.

for example there was a long running very successful comedy in the UK called "Only fools and horses" which followed the daily lives of two brothers trying to get ahead by selling dodgy goods (if you haven't seen it, you should try to!)

to an extent, Australia, where i currently reside, is also a form of that humor, because it was colonised by the brits, and share the same level of what british humor is.

Hence, from my perspective, Irish, British and Australian Humour are all very alike.

But again, it all depends on where you hail from and what your own perspective of what is funny and what is not, it's what makes us all individual! :)[/quote]
