I would be intrested to find out how popular Red Dwarf, Blackadder, Im Alan Partridge, Jimmy Carr (Standup shows) are in the USA.
The best US comedy ironically isnt very typically american (Frasier, South Part, Futarama (farr superior to the simpons), Family Guy is good, but lives off the back of the simpons-futarama & southpark.
But i guess the USA does have a great sense of comedy, they did elect George Bush & Arnie........

As a whole, I dont find it funny. Some things are, such as Shaun of the Dead and such, but I just dont find a skit about people turning into scotsman, all that funny.
Give me Family guy anyday.
Peanut Butter, Peanut Butter and a baseball bat!
If you like Shaun of the Dead you need to check out Spaced
Best sitcom ever!
Also Black Books and Green Wing are some other recent ones I like.
You sooooo beat me to it. Spaced and Black Books are quite likely my 2 top favourite comedies ever 
Green Wing's good, but not quite "awesome" factor. First series was hilarious, but the surreality got a bit old by series 2.
Other good comedies.........Father Ted is one of the best around, and of course Blackadder was a classic (Blackadder The Third was my favourite). Peep Show was excellent, aswell. The Office was great, too.
Anyone ever watch The Mighty Boosh? Thats Bizarre. With a capital B.
I think we Brits have a knack for comedy. Americans have a knack for Drama, the French have a knack for romance, everyone has a knack for something- for Britain, its comedy 
Slightly off-topic, try This site out. A few good British comedies (aswell as American ones) are on there. Not even illegal, too

For a recent(ish) british comedy you've got to see Coupling, it's hilarious, just hilarious.
Ingore this man, he's a ponce, it's midly amusing. Jeff says it all.
However, go get some Red Dwarf, Blackadder, Monty Python, Abfab (Cheers Eris, forgot about that one).
British humour is more generally based on wit, irony and sarcasm, which makes for great jokes IF you can get them.

If you like british comedy try:
Blackadder (Historical comedy, u need to appriciate irony to enjoy this one)
Red Dwarf (Sci-Fi, Crazy stories & great characters)
The Young Ones & Bottom (Crude offensive & great)
Omg them ones are the best \o/. Love red dwarf have seen every episode to date. Black adder and young ones are just awsome .
Defo if you wanna see some great british comedy watch any of these, truely our best imo :).

"What is it that makes British humor so funny ??"
Intelligence
Oh, and the ability to laugh at ourselves :)
My personal faves are The League of Gentlemen (although sometimes that strays into territory that couldn't really be considered "humour"...) and Spaced.

I was with you until you mentioned Jimmy Carr. I find him horrifically unfunny.

What makes British humour so funny (compared to American I assume)?
Let's see. Not written by committee, much less canned laughter, much less telegraphing (in sitcoms) of the funny one-liner, less reliance on one-liners in general. (One-liners take some real talent.)
There are some funny American stand-up comics, but I have seen many American sitcoms and just about all of them are about as funny as watching paint dry.
Two comparable sitcoms: Married with Children and My Family. I rest my case.

Us Brits have wit... American's seem to be far too serious, simply relax drop trou and let a nice wet fart out or remember that you voted Bush in and laugh at that instead...

What is really funny is watching American comics making fun of British comics... The sarcasm of British stuff is amazing but that is about it... -Steve

Spaced/Black books are great. There's too many good ones to list really. I thought League of Gentlemen was absolutely incredible too.
Little Britain is one I can't stand, 1 liner crap tbh.

Borat and Ali G are creations of Sacha Baron Cohen, an English guy. Borat and Ali G were both his characters originally on "Da Ali G Show" on UK Channel 4.
