Dola,

or it is humour?

Super Ugly · 07-25-2003, 07:24 AM

Heh heh ...

CK#12 · 07-25-2003, 07:42 AM

It is humour and I thought the article was funny.

Perhaps if he hadn't continued doing his act, people wouldn't have thought it was part of the act.

the british stiff upper lip strikes again.

Cartman: Are you secretly a woman? That would explain it.

Ahh, the Revolutionary War Runner's Up are at it again.

"British humor" is an oxymoron.

JPhillips · 07-25-2003, 04:27 PM

No that's British cooking. Boiled beef, boiled potatoes, boiled carrots, boiled gristle.....

Two actual recipes from the cookbook distributed to the British during WWII,

Marrow Surprise

and

Sparrow Pie, which starts, take 12 sparrows and the occasional lark...l

The Brits are insane and British humour is crazy. Hilarious but crazy.

says the person from the country that has given us such laugh a minute humour kings as jim carrey and the american pie movies.

popular american humour is so often base, mundane, and childish. so under-developed. your greatest comedians have a sense of anarchy and danger, yet most of your mainstream comedians appeal to the lowest common denominator. such a waste.
