Yes , that ' s why they do it better for my taste . It ' s relatively normal situations with not so normal people . I guess most British humour works that way . Black Adder , Monty Python , The Peep Show , Coupling , My Family . While American humour works more on goofy characters . The Office is a good example UK vs . US . I enjoy them both , but US has a lot more romance , stretched out story lines and people make more references to pop culture and are far more outrageous in their behaviour . While in UK it ' s a bit more awkward and darker , because the setting is more realistic and the characters are believable . There are references still , but far less than in American sitcoms . <| sep |> Fuck . Got the poster and paid for shipping . And then 10 minutes later got the mag and the vinyl and paid for shipping again . Figured I ' ll be bidding for this shit on eBay anyway somewhere down the line if I don ' t get it now .
