Quote - I don't get this "highbrow" tag we Brits are given.  Like the polite one, it's a myth.

I never felt Brit comedy was highbrow nor polite ;o). More's the better...lol.

If anything, I think it's that Americans are becoming too polite - too PC. "Don't say anything that might hurt someones poor wittle feewings". Drives me nuts it does.

The major difference between Brit and American comedy is that a Brit can tell you you're a complete moron and you don't even know it. If an American does it, you not only know it, but it comes out sounding rude and tactless ;o).
