Dammit
Why is it totally hilarious to spew Shakespeare in other countries? Why can't OUR awful students spit it out?
That was for the UK Comic Relief.
Here's an example of a recent USA Comic Relief:
Honestly...try and sit through that. "It's like sweet potatoes hating yams!" SHUT UP. "I don't care if you think I'm racist as long as you think I'm a thin racist." REALLY? Gaaaah. I have zero hope for (famous [I know some funny people]) American comedy at this point.
In our defense - America did get the Glorious Eddie Izzard one year:

OH WAIT. He did that before. Eddie Fucking Izzard couldn't be bothered to give America new material.

It really is a shame that they don't show more British shows & specials in the US. And why do we keep remaking them? Why can't we just watch the freakin' original? Do network suits think we're all too dumb to be able to understand a furr'in accent? I can understand a British accent far easier than I can't understand that bizarre fake deep south thing they have going on "True Blood".
PS: Hey! I'm on your blog roll thing - thanks, dude!! You're a peach.
A) You're welcome!
B) I completely agree with you.
C) I just saw True Blood for the first time...it's weird :(
English humor is just better, that's all...I don't think Americans are very good at subtlety or Shakespeare!
