Well, if you're British, anyway. It probably won't mean a lot to
anyone else, but trust me, it's hilarious.

I agree with you in that's what we're supposed to do. But here I got the
impression that Ashi understood something which I didn't understand.

My understanding would be Ashi does not like urine (pee) and so wants
to avoid LVD because he said he had realeased urine to his pants.

Further, LVD was laughing because Poly made a joke about Lost's
failure to understand Samurai's post. As far as I can tell Samurai
forgot to post a URL. On the other hand he may just be saying that
nothing good has ever come off web forums.

Nah, it was a terrific recap if you ask me.

On the third hand, I think Samurai might be showing us exactly what british
humour is about. Nothing. I guess they like Seinfeld.

On the fourth hand, before I get bombarded - I do enjoy british humour. But,
as we all can clearly see now, it's weird at times.

All I ever see over here is "Are You Being Served", "Mr. Bean", "Are You
Being Served Again", "Keeping Up Appearances", "Waiting for God", and
"The Vicar of Dibley".

I have concluded that, for the most part, the British like old people.

That or the only people who donate to American PBS are old people, and
so they hold a stranglehold over the good shows - like Dr. Who.

Mostly I suspect the latter. Just you wait until I'm old. Bahaha.

British humour is very weird.... It's hard to understand.

My favorite britcom is "As Time Goes By". It's sweet. I never knew I
was such a closet romantic.

>I have concluded that, for the most part, the British like old people.

I call "As Time Goes By" my "old people show" (because the main
characters are both in the late fifties). Although, from where I'm
standing, that isn't that old anymore, comparatively.

I like the Britcoms because they aren't as MEAN as American sitcoms
(where the characters are so often mean spirited brats and sluts, and
a lot of the humor is vindictive attacks on one another). Plus, many
of the Britcoms are slightly more subtle in their humor; they don't
bash you on the head with the joke but assume the viewer has the
intelligence to figure out why they should laugh.

At least, they used to. The newer British shows filtering their way
into America are becoming more and more like American sitcoms. I don't
watch those.

Oh, another reason Britcoms are great: the accent. You never expect a
guy who sounds like a BBC News announcer to say something funny, so
it's always a blast

>That or the only people who donate to American PBS are old people, and
>so they hold a stranglehold over the good shows - like Dr. Who.

Old or new Who?

I'd just be happy if they put some of the old Brit sci-fi back on: Red
Dwarf, Blake's 7, that police-show-set-on-the-moon that only lasted a
season... but no, those got cut from the PBS line-up a few years back
'cause of lack of funding. Damn old people

(what, *me* send in a donation? Do I *look* old?)

Hmm.. Well I'm not sure if they're any less mean, or if they just seem
less mean because it's slightly more witty. I haven't watched a sitcom
in a long, long time. Heck, about the only thing I watch on TV anymore
is the Home and Garden station. Regular TV must be pretty bad when I'd
rather watch somebody paint their house than surf the channels to see
what else is on.

I'll take any of it. I've seen a handful of episodes at most. They
just don't show it over here. Sad.

Was that rhetorical? :>

How hard is it to understand: "And now for something completely different.
#1: The Larch. The Larch. and now: #2: The Larch. The Larch."

Or the cartoons on MPFC?
