British Humour...

[Funners]

Prompted by the tyre thread on General and the "apparent" lack of comprehension of the Brit sense of humour, how many of our esteemed "Cuzzinz from accross the pond" and other outposts, actually understand our Humour ????:confused
Not a piss take or even a dig at anyone, a genuine question wanting genuine answers....:biggrin

I think they can somtimes take things too literally mate. They cant get the whole, taking the piss out of yourself.

Aye.I kinda gathered that, I think it's the literalness(is there such a word ??) that catches you out sometimes...
:biggrin

also..theres a few "IN" jokes about x colour being faster and so and so tyre being better (for what ever made up reason) that I forget not everyone might be "in on "

i've had the great pleasure of living and working with some brits. it was always, wanker this, and tosser that. This bird was on the pull, and this guy was off his face at the pub.

...you guys invented the damn (excuse me, bloody) language...and still can't speak it properly. :laugh

oh good times though. there is not enough money in the world that brings you the same joy as dressing up a posh english boy in board shorts and a wife beater...and teaching him to convey all his thoughts and understandings with the simple use of three words: dude, fuck, and seriously.

Not many Americans get us, your quite right. When I lived in the Bay Area most people looked at you like a leper. Had some of my best arguements though, so easy to wind up :thumbup

Easy enough for us to understand the pommy sense of humor.
