"Okay"! It's wicked... how can you not love it?

Darth, do you know they took 'Gullible' out of the dictionary? Hierachy told me.

They took Gullible out of the dictionary?! WOW! I never knew that!

heh... American are famous for having a crap sense of humour... Though there are quite a few on this site with ones...

But how can we have a crap sense of humor, but produce great comedies?

It's a paradox you have...

A lot of Americans don't have a great sense of humor.... it's true...but they are frequently the butt of the joke for the ones that do. Call it community service

Regardless, we'll marvel at our own paradoxes by simultaneously pumping out quality programming like the The Simpsons along with stunning feco-tainment like "Joe Millionaire" , "When Animals Attack vol. 15" and "The Mullets"

[And if you've never heard of these latter shows, assume that it's for a reason. ]

Americans don't understand Irony? Our comedies are great despite our lack of humor? How....ironic. Looks like we understand it better than we let on....

I like US comedies best because I never get to see British ones, except for Benny Hill and Monte Python, which I love.

US Comedies I like best:

M*A*S*H
Scrubs
Frazier
Cheers
Mork & Mindy
Bosom Buddies
Simpsons
Futurama
Saturday Night Live

Americans get their very brightest to write the episodes for their comedies... That's why they are very funny... however in some ways the Americans don't understand irony... Not every American mind... Because making such a narrow minded presumption would be ridiculous... but a lot of them don't... I have met many Americans... and I use Irony in the way I talk all the time... and they often look at me as though I'm stupid... though some (Undoubtedly dAN and a few other members) would say I am... it was not down to my thickness that they didn't understand... It was down to their lack of understanding when it came to Irony.

You know who really don't understand irony? Canadians.

Trusr me... Americans don't understand it a whole lot more than the Canadians... nI know this happens to be a fact...

I think American comedies I like are greater in number, but the best of the British beat the best of the American. When I say best, I am of course referring primarily to Blackadder and Red Dwarf

Yes... I think those are the best.
