British humor/sarcasm is boring.
That's all there is to it, really (as an American).
Nah, it is great. (Impartial swede vote)
Also, I think the correct spelling is humour. ;)

i don't know man/mate/dude...i'm singaporean so i'm not 'allied' to either side but........i've always preferred British sitcom than the American sitcom. The IT Crowd shits over what......thing......American sitcom seems to call themselves.British humor/sarcasm is boring.

It's typically a little dry for me, but I'm not about to fight over it. I respect your opinion, but I may be a bit biased because I love Kent.Nah, it is great. (Impartial swede vote)

I'm not going to say that I like the US version of Office or anything. I'm in the weird position of liking the odd campiness that Dr Who and such have, but also finding a lot of the humor to be a complete miss with me... if not outright awkward.i don't know man/mate/dude...i'm singaporean so i'm not 'allied' to either side but........i've always preferred British sitcom than the American sitcom.

Just a 3rd party throwing his views on the brit/yank humour debate i guess :P

Quick query to Americans and I hope I'm not being rude by asking, but there was something curious an American once said to me and I just want your opinions/thoughts on it. I used to live with this American guy and we were watching Becker and Cheers followed by Gordon Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmare. I asked the American guy "Why is there always a laugh track in these comedies, and why is there always this overly dramatic piano music, creeping/plucking strings and symbol hit sounds in reality shows". He replied "Some Americans don't know when something is funny or know how to feel about certain situations, so they get queues to tell them how to feel about a joke or a serious situation". I found it a bit odd and I'm not sure how I should take his response or whether or not he is just bullshitting me. If anyone can share some light on what he means, that would clear this up.
Laugh tracks and musical interludes are a thing in Britain and other Commonwealth/European countries as well. It comes from the first television comedies being an extension of Vaudeville, performed in front of a live studio audience, and is just kind of a tradition, even if the shows aren't shot in front of an audience anymore.
Yeah and pigs'll fly.
