Yeah I agree that there's plenty of good British comedy, and there's plenty of bad American comedy. But the problem is with the audience.

Peep Show is fantastic, and I don't mean to say that there's anything wrong with character based comedy, just that it completely drowns out other forms of comedy here. Any comedy that remotely feels as though it's been laboured over and worked hard on here is an audience repellent. If it doesn't seem effortless, it's avoided, and a lack of effort is often mistaken for that supposed effortless.

If it takes more than one sentence to explain why something is funny, 90% of people I know will not like it.
