Yes indeed. We see comedy as a shared privilege, not an individual competition. We celebrate each other. Very different to the dynamics of the American comedy scene.

@@dannyboyle603I mean, not necessarily. Comedians do tours with each other or perform at the same venue together all the time, there’s just not very many shows like this in the US. Most popular game shows are hosted by a comedian or actor but the contestants are average people. Celebrity jeopardy, celebrity wheel of fortune, or something like the masked singer would probably be the closest idea to something like this you could find.

Lots of Americans are watching british panel shows nowadays on youtube and don't see a lot of regular british tv comedies@@fez0062. So like, I am American but have been watching this show for a really long time and know about the show, as well as the In Betweeners, but havent seen any Man Down epoisodes, just a few clips around when Rik Mayall passed. A good amount of Gen X Americnas know Rik Mayall because MTV used to play the Young Ones sometime in the very early 90's, but how many of that group would know about Man Down I don't know. And other than Drop Dead Fred millenials and Zoomers by and large don't really know that much about Rik Mayall. TaskMaster, Would I Lie to you, and 8 out of ten cats does countdown are gaining a decent American following. (Actually Graham norton clips get a lot of traction as well) KZbin is helping a lot. But a lot of cultural references just get missed.
