"Well, I'd have thought it was obvious. *Two people, unable to contain their desires, had an illicit liason. A liaison that an unforgiving society would not accept. And you were the fruit of their forbidden passion. You're forbidden passion fruit."* "What are you saying?"

[@thetragicyouth]

North American comedy shows generally tend to feature attractive people in situations about aspiration and success. In Britain, it tends to be more about maintaining good manners in the face of failure and life not turning out the way you hoped it would.

[@-Pol-]

Indeed! - the ending of the Blackadder series was very poignant! - wouldn't get away with that sort of sobriety in an American sit-com (I'd love to be proven wrong though)

[@Bartok_J]

I've also heard the suggestion that North American audiences want the star of the show to be the cool guy with the funniest lines, whereas British audiences expect them to be the butt of the jokes. Though I'm not convinced - Fonz in Happy Days certainly fitted into the first category, but Family Guy and American Dad? No. An awful lot of British sitcoms also centre around people being trapped in situations with people they have a strained relationship with: Steptoe and Son, Arkright and Granville (Open All Hours), Mainwaring and Wilson (Dad's Army), Fawlty and Manuel etc.

Definately some more of these please Alanna. 2nd hand embrassment 😂 I thought I was alone.

[@ProgressiveRoxx]

Not only do I have 2nd hand embarassment, but I had to skip through the bits where Allanah was cringing, so I guess I also have 3rd hand embarassment.

British TV show line that is an all time classic? "Listen very carefully, I will say zis only wernce!" 'Allo 'Allo. If you have not seen it... YOU NEED TO!!! One of the best comedies the BBC ever made.

Did JSO actually chain themselves to a cooking oil tanker? Champion.

A fellow North East watcher!

[@orwellboy1958]

Yep.

[@nigelsmith6077]

Love this nice catch up, I have been to Recording of Celebrity Juice sometime ago and it was great to see that side its about 3 hours then cut to 1 hour before it goes out following evening 😉

The best British Humor is Dad's Army and Only Fools and Horses. 70's comedy.

[@RockyBobbieBuster]

HumoUr my dear fellow

[@bentilley5412]

Ah yes, Only Fools & Horses: the 70's comedy ran from 1981 to 2003.

[@Gmackematix]

What other 70s comedy do you like? The Young Ones? Watching? Blackadder? Red Dwarf?

[@RockyBobbieBuster]

@@Gmackematix none of them are 70s shows

[@Gmackematix]

@@RockyBobbieBuster They are every bit as 70s as Only Fools and Horses.

Great video Alanna , really enjoyed that style !

[@Zatnicatel]

Standard Brit view on North American humour - tell the audience a joke is coming, tell the joke, explain the joke at length, audience laughs. Sorry :)

"£150 for a train ticket" **Laughs in Northern Rail** I can get from my home town to my uni for £10 per journey. Halfway across the country. For a tenner.

This popped up on my Xbox. It gave me a few smiles. So, I thought I'd find the video on my phone where I'm signed into KZbin and say thanks for the video. Thank You. 👍

21:40 - Wooaahh, yeah, cmon. Pissin' Myself. 😆 Celebrity Juice - Ooohh, that was a while ago. "Nostrils" 🤣

[@Swansea32]

[@heskeyisgod8039]

Great video Alanna. It was great seeing some of the classic memes 😂

[@AdventuresAndNaps]

Thank you!! 😁

[@comawhite39]

I thoroughly enjoyed this. Thank you 😂

"Cauliflower is traditional" is my personal favorite.

[@scmtuk3662]

One of the most iconic moments in TV history, and I didn't see it here: "I'M CAWSHTRAPHOBIC DARREN!"

[@davidkeefe5302]

Although it wouldn't probably suit the visual medium of a KZbin review but the radio show Round the Horn was the epitome of the British innuendo humour that that still holds up even after 60 years (1965-1968). Some of the scripts remain surprising given "Auntie" BBC of the era and the fact that the "camp" remarks were against a background where homosexuality did not become legal until the 1967 Act of Parliament. However, this series is currently available on KZbin for listening and as a personal opinion, offers a fine example of this type of British humour. Always enjoy your posts Alanna, long may they continue.

Unforgettable line. ( From Fawlty Towers) Delivered after Sibyl berates Basil for playing loud classic music on his cassette player & tells him to turn that racket off. “ RACKET?… that’s Brahms, Brahms third racket!”

[@hairyairey]

Alanna is super happy in this video. Dear Home Office - just give her citizenship now!

[@toddarmstrong1167]

Well done. Always lifts my day.

[@Yos115]
