Amos..I feel exactly the same about modern American humour! That's why british comedy shows don't translate to America. I can't wait to see what's done to the wonderful "The Office".
I can watch the gurning Carey or what's called movie comedy in the U.S. etc, etc and not raise a titter.
As Hurricane Higgins once aptly said; "It's as entertaining as watching your stools float"
Having also read the gibberish about Tolkien being posted at the moment, which did make me laugh out loud....all these adults taking these funny names seriously...I realise there are many planets out there I'll never visit, and that many others won't be visiting mine!
