Photo of Emma Stone at the Paris Fashion Week in a dress reminiscent of Philomena Cunk. Comment under the photo reads "Why does she look like she's gonna ask a historian if King Arthur came a lot".

The shows are very funny but won't vibe with everyone's sense of humour.

Is this a necessary detail to include? Humor is subjective, and I don't recall the character or shows ever generating controversy/backlash. Also, your statement describes all comedic content ever created...

    British humour is sarcastic and crude, much cruder than most people's taste.

    On the basis of what?! Yes both aspects exist in British comedy, but there's plenty of depth too. If you're American, I can say that I'd take anything British over US comedy given what we get of that here! If you only get some of our stuff then you're not getting the full range (& vice versa).

    You think I'm American when I spelled humour with "u" after "o"? I live across the Irish Sea so I get the full range of British humour. When i said crude, I don't mean unrefined, what I mean is that there is plenty of very edgy and "toilet humour" jokes. I'm saying that people not familiar or did not grow up with British humour would be taken aback and find it distasteful.

    Ah well I didn't assume anything, hence why I said 'if'. There's a large portion of Americans on Lemmy & my point was about how imported media is not a full representation. That said it is a moot point given your reply! (And I didn't notice the spelling, too tired at the time!).

    I see what you mean re the crudeness, & therefore why other nationalities may not take to it. Humour can be very different in other parts of the world!
