London Visitor Advice The British Sense of HumourThe British Sense of Humour
Baffling to some, appreciated by others. Not that different from US comedy; what often works there, 
works here and vice versa - Seinfeld, Cheers, Frasier, The Simpsons, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Scrubs, Will & Grace, Larry Sanders, Big Bang Theory, 30 Rock and Friends were and still are, hits in the UK. As touched on before: sarcasm, irony and a healthy doses of surrealism, go down well with the British.
Classics here include: Monty Python, Dad's Army, The Young Ones, Only Fools and Horses, Blackadder, Porridge, The Office, Fawlty Towers, Absolutely Fabulous, Peep Show, Spaced, Extras, Phoenix Nights and The Inbetweeners. See the comedy club section on this site, to experience some live.
