British Comedy

I'm sitting here after another long Thursday at Monash watching The Vicar of Dibley and reminded once again of how wonderful and special British humour is.  There is something about the Brits and their humour that appeals.  Interestingly, we had a discussion recently on the reasons why many Americans don't quite get British humour.  I think that its because of the irony and wit of the humour in Britain.  If its not in your face, slap stick, canned laughter, then the show doesn't quite make it.

I love the character of Alice.  She's so naive but often comes out with the best lines.  For instance when discussing the story of Christmas she says that the fact that Jesus is the Son of God is a nice twist to the story, but it would be better if there was humour!  So, if any of you want to revisit some old favourites in the comedic realm, please keep the Vicar of Dibley in mind.
