It's british humor. Not a math formula. Most people understand it, most just don't go for it. Example, I don't like the british office, but I'm obsessed with spaced.

No honestly the reason most people don't like it is because they don't understand the jokes....

No honnestly. Most people understand the jokes, they just don't care for that style.

The people you hang around may not be intellectual scholors, that dosen't mean most people aren't.

Dude... look at 90% of the people you interact with daily and then ask yourself why they find low-brow comedy more funny.

Courtney · #10 (**permalink**) Apr 10, 07

^ my friends get funny jokes which is why we get along

not really so.. good british humour is quite often historically or politically based, and quite suttly, so if you dont know your british history or politics, it wont seem to make any sense.

No, but from how you've described them in this thread, they may, or may not be mentally handicapped.

I'll say yes for the creep-factor, but in reality... I'm talking about the mass of people that inhabit that city along with you. I'm sure your friends are modern day philosophers, scholars, and mathematicians though. Really, I am.

most of my friends have british parents

i strongly believe that if your parents are from the uk you just find the humour much funnier

tiedye · #17 (**permalink**) Apr 10, 07

OK OK. I get it. You're much more onthreethreeseven than I'll ever be in regards to British comedy.

I agree, my mom's from china, and I find watching people trying to park in richmond center hillarious.

It's definitely an 8.5 on the comedy richter scale, Jim.

cubed · #25 (**permalink**) Apr 10, 07

You're totally taking this the wrong way.

I hate it when people don't take me seriously
