Very British Problems

Loved the line-up of comedians. The show combines observational, satirical and deadpan-styled themes. Some of the best and brightest English comedians are on the show. Those who dislike it are probably not fond of British humour. Personally, I like wits, sarcasm and satire. I find dark humour more entertaining than slapstick or improv genres, which is why I prefer British humour.

Having said that, I do think the episodes go on for longer than they're worth. The points are recurrent and can quickly lose their charms. If the duration of the show is taken down to about 30 minutes, it would be more appealing to viewers.

Much more fun than any comedy you could wish for. Am i brittish?

Other nationalities may well misunderstand the series. It is tongue in cheek - which is a very British skill. Unfortunately, the previous viewer misunderstood the entire series. We always poke fun at ourselves. Some people mistake it for arrogance. Their loss. Listen to the contributors - they are comedians who are insightful and don't have inflated egos. We have a unique sense of humour. Get it or forget it. Check out the British series like midsomer murders, Vexed, for murder mysteries with a sense of humour. American humour tends to be more obvious. And we all love Everybody loves Raymond/Friends/etc, but watch 'Fawlty Towers'/'I give it a Year'/ 'Sweet Revenge' and you will start to loosen up.

Yeah. This show is just a bunch of Brits talking about all the awkward things human beings do everywhere. Same kind of stuff that Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David do - minus the humor. Kinda makes me wish I could kick the entire British Commonwealth in its super tight ass.

Its kind of like that person that complains about how hard it is to be attractive. That whole "we're so unique and quirky" is annoying. The opening for one of the episodes has the narrator literally saying "Our history and culture are the envy of the rest of the world", yea its really not. British history is interesting, but hardly enviable. Saying British culture is the envy of the rest of the world couldn't be farther from the truth, and isn't the entire premise of this show about how much British culture sucks sometimes. "oh we're so polite", "we leave other nations utterly baffled", "oh we have so much tradition","oh Americans say things", give me a break. Watching this show is amazing cringe inducing.
