I don't note that Brit comedians enjoy dressing in drag in any greater proportion than do American comics.
Milton Berle comes to mind...Tom Hanks' first TV series...Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis...Flip Wilson...Jerry Lewis at one time or another. If I wasn't fighting off despondency and actually retained a sense of humor, I'm sure I could think of more.

Curious, have anyone been exposed to Hong Kong comedies (Stephen Chow, Wong Jing)? If I showed any of you our style of humor, you might think it's extremely tasteless. I love it though

I find it hard to understand the popularity of Mr Bean.

I didn't get Benny Hill or Monty Python much as a kid, but now, I think it's great.

Oh I loved Benny Hill as a kid (maybe it was because it was on late at night, and was a bit 'naughty'). I never saw Monty Python, but God did I hear about it a lot from friends of mine. Anyone remember "The Young Ones" on MTV (when MTV was cool)? That was pretty funny, IMO. I also like "Couplings" (I think that's the name of the show out of the UK...aka the new "Friends").

We recently ditched cable for satelite and now get BBC America-- Yeah! And I really like the show "Coupling", its very funny. I'm also horrified and amused by "The Office" it is hillarious with a smarmy mockumentary style.
A&E was running "Cold Feet" a year or so ago, that was a good show as well. I remember "The Young Ones"- that show made me laugh. Vivian and the lads- they were so gross! Who was the long hair guy always making disgusting looking lentils? and someone always had a runny bottom. |

The long-haired guy in The Young Ones was Niel. I can't remember the name of the other one you mentioned though. Too bad that all of the Canadian networks that used to show The Young Ones took it off, that was a great show. Bottom was a good show as well, they always used to show it after The Young Ones on the weekends.
