Why do the Brits think that they themselves are so funny?

They are very weird, and only they can relate to each other.

It's more or less just that they crave attention.  Sometimes it can be funny, but in the sense when friends are joking with friends (i.e. you make fun of how your friend's hair looks like he/she stuck their finger in an electric socket).  Unfortunately (and it's been this way for years and years) the status quo is such that (and has been such that) when one makes fun of another it boosts his/her self esteem and morale (and that of his/her friends) at the cost of another's.  Most times this behavior is conducive to a lack of self confidence and a need to prove oneself to his/her peers.  Also, it indicates a broken history (even if the person in question comes from a prestigious background).  They just don't get enough love, so they've got to be a*holes...  It's just a fact of life.

Once again, England proves that they are the kings of comedy. \nNot since Mr. Bean, Monty Python, Benny Hill, Peter Sellers, Beyond the Fringe, etc., has such a phenomenon come from God's own angellic isle of amusement...\nYes, this movie is genius. Sacha Cohen is now into Andy Kaufman territory. As a contemporary form of comedy, it's simply the most brilliant satire since South Park first aired. He has dragged out all the ugly stereotypes, all of America's ignorance towards the rest of the world, and put it together through the character of a well intentioned foreign man - from a country that most Americans don't even know exists. It is not so much a comedy about foreigners (although Borat's hometown tour is hilarious), as it is about what kind of reaction Americans have to foreigners today. This movie is so important and so ridiculously true to exposing the ugly underbelly of America, at a time when it needs it more than anything. Bonafide satire, that's true and hilariously painful to watch and laugh at...American ignorance as fodder for comedy...always purist, and taken to the end by Borat. We are laughing at both Borat and Americans - there's only one difference - Sacha Baron Cohen is acting. \nA great success!

Because stereotypically, it's funny.\nNow excuse me, but I'm off to watch Monty Python.

funny thing...their "closed Mindedness" kind of helps them think that they are right (about everything) and that they know (pretty much) everything, so it's like (in their mind) they're doing us "dee-de-dees"(retards) a favor by telling us how things really are. But you gotta love'em, because without people like that who else could I make fun of (that is,without being politically incorrect)?

Come on people.... Why do some of you feel the need to be so-superior and say you never laugh at strange noises that come out of the human body.  I am 36 years old, and I still let out a chuckle whenever I hear someone "Float a quality air-biscuit".  \n\nIf that is just too immature for some people to fathom.... They really need to loosen up!  After all.... We all make these noises...  Why not laugh at them?  Anything that can make you laugh, has to be a good thing.

People are funny that way.

I think most people think other people look at them in a "funny" way. Mostly in your head. You should really concentrate on how they act toward you, then you'll truely know if they think you're weird or whatever.

It is a expession as in "Laugh out loud" letting the person know you though it was funny at what they said. And to some its a habit of doing!

i think that our character is basically tolerant, humourous, religiously and democratically apathetic and yet, strangely, determined.  i think that if our status quo is threatened our innate ( as much as a hybrid race can have an innate character ) but well hidden belicosity emerges.  things that provoke us are political and religious extremism ( including that dumbass american evangelical christianity ), aggression of any sort by others and challenge to our common belief in freedom of speech.  we're alright really, doing fine.  some may hate us at the moment but we'll win them round .  i'm proud to be british.  proud to be english as much as that matters and, here's where i'll lose even some of my fellow english... proud to be european.

Good question. People seem to be so sensitive & serious. No one seems to know how to laugh anymore...at anything. Some people have no sense of humor. It is "politically incorrect" to "make fun" of others in the form of a joke. We all need to learn to laugh more often...at other things but most of all at ourselves. We all need to lighten up.

Speaking for myself only, I definitely don't always get your sense of humor. I always think of Monty Python or Benny Hill. Monty Python I get, but it's a bit too dry for me. I totally don't understand the skit where the guy runs in and out of the room. :)\n\nI LOVE your accents!!!! Nuff said.\n\nAs far as knowing what you are all about, I won't proclaim to really know that. \n\nWe don't get a lot of British shows or movies over here. I don't really know who your celebs are (other than that Spice girl and soccer player couple) or who your biggest musicians are. \n\nI think *most* Americans are interested in other cultures and would like to know more, but unless you are gonna shell out big bucks for a long-range satellite dish, or travel a lot, it's difficult to do. \n\nMy overall opinion of Brits is really positive though. You are kinda like our cousins with the cool accents.\n\nGood question!
