Watching this highlights to me the difference in Australian and American humour. It's such a different show.

I think it's just that few Australians are very good at improv. Instead the Aussie show has to lean heavily on tightly scripted scenarios with openings for the Australian to try and think of a funny response. This means that humour just ends up being based around "person I know is behaving awkwardly under pressure!".

Takei was better than I expected. The only thing was he didn't time his "Oh My" quite right and the audience missed it.

I think that's Nyima Funk as one of the doctors in this scene. She's appeared in the new version of "Whose Line is it Anyway?" a couple of times.

The thing is, there is a lot of American TV on Australian tv, soaps, sit-coms, talk shows (we have ellen and letterman etc) but it seems that no Aussie shows air in the USA and that is odd to me...

@ellaphx, it's certainly a matter of perspective. I enjoy U.K humor and Aussie humor. A lot of American humor fails me. To me the best of all of them was the Aussie one about a car that crashed into an apartment with Matthew Newton and the American one with Harland Williams playing an explorer returned from a trip.

I have to agree with you here. I think with this and many other international version, the ensemble cast just weren't as good - I've only seen a couple of the US, but they don't look as polished imho.

@lowellriggsiam Yeah, it depends so heavily on the actor's ad-lib skills, some comedians are generally really funny and just totally flop on TGYH. I've only ever watched the Aussie and American ones. The other thing I've noticed is that the actors who do know what's going on seem to have a very different job on each show - they steer the guest a bit more in Australia. Which can actually lead to them blocking a lot, and I don't think Americans would find that as funny, generally..

@lowellriggsiam Do you know, I don't think I've seen either of those :O I agree with you on perspective - personally my humour's really strongly affected by my father, who's a bit dry, black and ironic, and I also really appreciate subtlety - these are aspects I associate much more closely with Australian humour than American humour. Scrubs is a good example for me of American hilarity, although it got cornier and more... well, Americanised, as the show progressed.

@ellaphx The show's roll-out was clumsy and many of the guests were not well picked. I have enjoyed the variation in the one's performed by various other countries. I did prefer he Aussie one best.

Edie McClurg and Kevin Nealon didn't get particularly good scenarios to work with really- they're okay, but the material was a lot of question and answer and that's not really suited to their style. It's also worth checking out Joel McHale and Wayne Knight

Horrible compared to Australian version. The annoying camera shifting from the scene to the audience to even showing the judge during the scene never occurred in the Aussie version.

@ellaphx I have heard tell that Matt was a prick from those that met him. If you treat somebody like a king they start to act the part. A youtube search for "roufus hound thank god you're here" you can see how Rufus from the U.K. handled the car crash into the apartment. I prefer foreign TV shows our networks have run our of originality. Just "House" "Storage Wars" "Spongebob" and "Wipeout" for me. If my kids come they like "Family Guy" and "iCarly"
