Because I know lots of people who completely miss on Python but really like Shaun of the Dead and the original Office, among others. I like both, but I don't view them to be all that similar (aside from originating in England). Am I alone in that thinking?
Yeah I was surprised no one mentioned that on the show. Classic!PandaEskimo wrote:On British comedy, Black Adder is hilarious.

Original Office was good though, and I like most of the British movies I see that are comedies or have comedic elements. I think "British humour" is kind of a broad term and probably has its ups and downs. On a topical note, wasn't Sasha Cohens Ali G/Bruno/Borat stuff technically British humour originally?
