wtf bbq ? Borat is funny (dunno if its american made though)
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.
It was "The Eleven O'Clock Show" Ali G first appeared on as a 5 minute sketch thing each week before he got his own show. |

I think British comedy is more of a kind of extreme parody and satire while North American comedy relys more on punchline kind of stuff

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.
OMG!! SPACED!! if your into Brit comedy... thats the one to watch

Don't think i've seen anybody mention The Fast Show or The Armando Iannucci Show yet.
Both amazing classics.

The Fast Show was great, especially Channel 9 news and the weather reports!
Scotch and Wry is another sketch show which I don't think has been mentioned. Although unlike Chewin The Fat, I don't think the humour in it would travel beyond Scotland. The Traffic Cop, "Right Stirling, oot the car", the Reverend I.M. Jolly and the catholic signing for Rangers Football Club were all classics which probably wouldn't translate very well to other countries.
Should be able to get a few clips off Youtube of various Scotch and Wry sketches |

Continuing the Armando Ianucci theme, Time Trumpet had some good stuff, such as Tesco invading Denmark

I know he's stand-up, but the US gave us Bill Hicks (thanks- he may be dead, but he's still way more funny now, than most that are still living. Then there's Airplane.

i think the big reason many American find British humor funny is the differences in language.
the British have a completely different way of referring to various actions and bodily functions then Americans do.
Likewise a lot of the good American humorist(not the crap on tv) like to play off the differences in ethnic groups (aka mild stereotyping). where as the British having different ethnic groups often times don't get the humor.

Peep Show is the funniest thing ive seen to date from channel 4, Fast show was a close one and a couple episodes from father ted, but Peep show as a whole 3 seris not one did i not laugh like a nutter.
Such a clever program. Brass Eye aswell worth a gander.
I like arresting development from the states tho thats had me laughing abit.

Why is British humour so good.
First of all, chears for the complement, and secondly, a refference to Bill Bryson`s "Notes from a small Island", there is no american equivelant to the vital British phrase, "taking the pi**".
Also, Comedy, Dead Ringers, George W "my fellow pellicans" Bush. The Tony Blair and ******`s parralels on the fall from grace, classic.
My personal favorite is Red Dwarf, specificaly the polymorph episode when Rimmer walks in on Kryten and Lister in a "compromising" situation... 
EDIT: The filtered name between Blair and Bush is another nast man, specificaly the nasty man from the Second World War.
Note to all, What I say may be infact of a more humorous tone than comes accross. |

I'm going to get oldschool now, mainly because I don't like the curent raft of crap that's being called comedy here in the UK.
Porridge;
Open All Hours;
Only Fools and Horses (mentioned excessively few times thus far);
The Good Life;
Not sitcoms but still highly amusing nonetheless:
Morecombe and Wise;
The Two Ronnies;
Not The Nine O'Clock News;
Monty Pythons Flying Circus;
Actually there's a few imports from the US I quite enjoy. Frasier, King of Queens (mainly because the wifey in that is sooooo fit), and M*A*S*H, and not forgetting the classic Mork and Mindy.
Of course if you really want to make me curl up into a ball and laugh until I go blue, some good old school Tom and Jerry, Roadrunner, or Daffy Duck will do it every time. There's absolutely nothing funnier than cartoon violence or watching that coyote open a box labelled ACME and trying to work out in which way the contents are going to go wrong for him, especially in the way the makers of these portrayed it.
