How is British comedy different from American comedy ?
In: 2
I grew up in northern New York State, just south of Ottawa, Ontario. We had 3 TV channels and one was CJOH which showed a lot of BBC. At least it did back in the 70s. I haven’t been back in a long time.
It seemed to me that the British humor was more physical or sound based (farts or squeaky shoes or anything embarrassing) as opposed to jokes. It was something even children could enjoy. The closest thing I think we had in the states back then was Tim Conway on the Carol Burnett Show.
