Opinion: British Comedy is much funnier than American Comedy

You heard me, I said it. In my thoughts I find the comedy released by the British far funnier. Iconic comical history has been produced from famous shows such as only fools and horses.

Now don’t get me wrong, American comedy shows such as the big Bang Theory and How I Met Your Mother are some of my favourites. The running jokes and storylines are intriguing and make me laugh. But I feel sometimes the jokes rely on the canned laughter noise to get a reaction. In some of the newer American released comedies, such as Young Sheldon - the best Jokes I feel were shown in the trailer. (I did originally try to name a comedy I watched one episode of, but unfortunately it was so unmemorable that I could not find it)

British comedy for me brings its laughter by mocking realistic situations and people (satirical comedy) some of my favourite shows being Outnumbered, Friday Night Dinner and Harry Hills TV Burp.

Both Britain and the US have TV shows that have sparked a massive fanbase following alongside merchandise and events, however, British comedy shows will forever remain my favourite over mass produced American comedies that in my opinion are very similar both in style and structure.
