One of the things Brits find most amusing is Americans trying to imitate British humour. See for example Monty Python live at the Hollywood Bowl.
See also British Arrogance, British Snobbery and British Spelling.

British Humour: something which the British invented to distinguish themselves from Americans, and yet which few British seem to display.

(Please note: This is merely an attempt at a humo(u)rous response to the original post, and is not meant to imply that British people are humo(u)rless. Unless you think I'm speaking of the medieval conception of humours, in which case....oh, never mind.)

The subject of the above post should read "British Humor (That's right! No "u"! Ha!)". Apparently the preview feature doesn't show you when the subject line will be decapitated.


American imitation? Y'wha?

Or for that matter curtailed.

What's wrong with Live at the Hollywood Bowl? I don't think I've ever seen it, but I'd like to know what's got you so bitter about it before I bother. It could be something legitimate, who knows? So do tell, please.


H.Bowl is not immitation.

Live at the Hollywood Bowl is not an immitation of M.P. It's just M.P. doing their sketches live in the USA...
