People in Britain have a unique sense of humour.


For lots of foreigners it's difficult to understand and
confusing. But British people are fiercely proud of their sense
of humour, and Britain has produced some of the world's best
comedies.


In this episode we take a look at what makes Brits laugh, and
tell a few jokes along the way.


Introduction to British humour

What do British people laugh about?

Sarcasm ("No sh*t Sherlock")

What happens when you tell a joke about pasta to an Italian

Self-deprecation (and putting yourself down)

How to deliver a joke

British vs. American humour

Laughing at the mundane (and some classic British TV shows)

Innuendo and double-entendre

British stereotypes (and the Englishman, Scotsman and
Irishman jokes)

It takes a while, but it's worth it
