Julianus Victor nah I think it’s more because London is like a bubble. Since being at university in the south of the UK, the amount of Londoners that I’ve known that don’t know anything about the rest of the UK baffles me. Of course not all Londoners are like this.

I mean, he's dabbled with being both at times, but his primary job is as a musical comedian (hence most of his youtube uploads being recordings/videos of his funny songs!)
I personally think British comedy is funnier and more realistic. No offence people. However, American shows and films are still entertainment and impressive.
This is what I like, you actually got someone who knows what he is talking Edit: ok I usually don’t do this, but I want to say “HOW THE HELL DID THIS COMMENT GET OVER 1.6K LIKES”? Like it’s a simple comment nothing special but this surprises me. If only my videos get this many (not my old videos bye the way which have the most views it’s my newer ones like the ones that are at most 1 year old or less). But anyway thanks for the likes.
There is one thing that's not quite right. The TV licence actually is for TV. You can legally access BBC radio and the website without a TV licence. You need a TV licence for the TV and iPlayer. Obviously the TV licence funds both but what you're actually paying for the right to use is the TV and iPlayer
William Brown yes but the point is without tv licenses there would be no bbc and therefore no bbc websites, radio etc. So that is really what you’re paying for.
@@mollymauktealeaf think we have a few here in auz that are the same as another channel just pushed back a day be a few years since I actually watched normal tv
Carewolf - are you referring to the movie? Because that doesn’t really count as a remake, it was an original script that was aimed more at an American audience but ended up falling flat. And the Doctor was still very British. Or have I missed something really big here?
@@JekyViews There was more than one movie. There was like 2 or 3 american Doctor Who movies based on classic episodes in the 60s of the 70s, it was supposed to a pilot to an American series. In them Doctor who wasn't an Alien, but a a crazy earth inventor or something
WhoDarestheMAN gamer He didn't say a lot of big words though? He speaks like a normal person I just mean his sense of humour, and his personality. I feel like I could talk to him for hours! He seems really warm and friendly and has a lot of knowledge about TV programmes which I personally find really interesting 😄
lemon head Lol I don't think my friends are dull 😂 Dunno what this dude is on about, he's just randomly making assumptions about my friends because I said this Jay guy seems nice. Like I'm only drawn to people with one personality type or something? I don't know about you but I like a lot of different people with a lot of different interests. They aren't all clones of Jay haha
What I meant was, is each of them unconsciously performing the way that each of them expects to see someone perform? Is the American playing to the camera because it's an Americanism? Is the Brit doing his thing because it's what he expects to see on t.v? I'm not saying I know for sure. I just found it interesting.
I’ve noticed this whilst watching sports on tv. I watch a lot of sport and am from the UK so the norm in the sport I watch where the presenters will look and talk to each other when discussing whatever game they are analysing. However watching the NHL on US TV is that the pundits will talk and look at the camera when discussing the game
Or is Evan simply uncomfortable with extended eye contact at this proximity while ostensibly being lectured at? (the fact it was a good lecture notwithstanding)
Oh, so that’s why my American mates think I’m weird when I answer every question with a joke. It’s just normal in my family cos we grew up with Mock the Week and Have I Got News!
This is less ‘British vs American’ and more ‘British TV 101 while Evan looks confused’ 😂 but oh my god, even our commercial channel adverts are nothing compared to the US. At least here they’re only on every 15 minutes, but when I was in the US they have adverts after the intro and every 5 minutes it seemed like. And they’re all for smug looking lawyers and doctors 🤔
It's the 'ask your doctor for...' adverts that got me. You... want me to tell my doctor what to prescribe? Even though they have a postgraduate qualification in medicine and I have... a paid spon in the middle of Murder She Wrote?
The thing that drives me mad about US ads is that before the ad many shows tell you whats coming up, then we get the ad, then we get a recap of what had happened in the show a few minutes earlier. (Repeat in each add break) I don't have a memory of a goldfish ffs.
whenever i (illegally, met police dont come for me 😓) stream live US tv the ads make me want to quit watching. from superficial ads, to literally every obnoxious celebrity narrating and appearing in each ad, to medicine ads, its a bizarre thing i swear.
In british tv the game doesn’t revolve around a schedule the schedule resolved around a game. For example the news will be delayed if a game is still going on, also we have little to no ads
@@Hellkitecat bbc has no ads at all. The other channels have about 3 minutes of ads every 15 minutes mostly. The us basically has 5 minutes of ads every 10 minutes. Maybe more
You should see drug ads in US magazines. I work for a heath magazine and since it's required by law to include all the side effects and everything, drug ads are typically 2-4 pages! And the drug company has to pay for those extra pages, they don't get a flat rate like your actual ad is one page but since you have to have 3 pages of fine print we'll just throw that in. Nope gotta pay for your pages of fine print which easily will be five figures. Says a lot about drug companies in the US...
The Office (UK) has an extra level of dark irony: David Brent thinks he's lovable and funny while the other characters think he's an insufferable cxnt, and Ricky Gervais in interviews seems to think we the audience find David Brent to be somewhat lovable and funny when in fact, you know… Steven Marchant though. He's brilliant.
The US office has a similar dynamic but in that one it's more they think he's a bit stupid and just wants people to like him which softens him as a character
As someone from the Philippines, a radio station with no ads sounds incredible and heavenly, because the radio stations here are about 70% ads, 20% talk, 10% music

@@JoeBleasdaleReal The US version of Taskmaster is awful, primarily because each episode is only 18 minutes long, so it can be shown in a half hour slot with adverts. There's no prize task and the studio segments are incredibly rushed.
I’m so attracted to Jay Foreman right now. I love hearing someone talking intelligently and accurately about something they actually know a lot about (rather than what you usually encounter, which is wideboys bluffing their way through topics they actually know nothing about and getting very angry if you correct them).
Damn I love Jay foreman, he really is a brilliant creator, funny, informative and the sort of person you can listen to talk about tv for an entire video without saying 'LET EVAN SPEAK'
We had Jay as the entertainment for our wedding. I was a bit upset that everyone was chatting during his part, but his songs were so much fun for my husband and I.
I don't think it's been mentioned, but when US cartoons were shown in the UK on channels like boomerang and cartoon network, they stuck to UK ad breaks and that meant there were parts where an ad break was obviously meant to go like a cliffhanger moment which would go to black and then the scene would continue slightly after without an ad break. I remember it most on Scooby Doo.
Gogglebox?? Everyone loves gogglebox? Ant and decs shows? Christmas ads? Christmas films? First dates? Game shows? (The chase, pointless, countdown ect) missing loads 😂 need a part 2 ASAP 😂
This is so true. Listening to any BBC radio station is a wonderful experience. The minute you switch to a regular station you realise how stressful it is to listen to a program constantly being interrupted by advertising. I've listened exclusively to BBC radio for the past 27 years and will continue to do so until I die. Please don't ever privatise this amazing institution.
Jay's voice is so super well suited for... Any voice Job! It sounds like it was recorded in a recording booth, so perfwctly pitched and lovely tone and pronounciation as well!
Even for those outside Britain it's a damn handy thing. It's a source which you know you can trust and you know is a "people's" thing, "for the public good" type.
As do all my mates in London and every bloke in the North, it all depends on how you say it , it's everything from a term of endearment to an instant fight.
I've heard fellow Newfoundlanders call others "me old cocky". I've jokingly called a friend a cunt. I would never seriously cuss at someone unless they absolutely deserved it. As said in the video, there are definitely words I would never use because they are simply too vile, and when I hear someone else saying them I judge them immediately.
Well look, I'm not from the UK. There are tons of English accents and I'm not familiar enough with them to be able to tell region just by listening. What I do know is I enjoy his accent which is not a crime and people could just not be judgy about it. I'm sure that I'm the only one ever to have a favorite accent.
I've watched this video a few times recently and I've finally worked out why it appeals to me so much. It is so refreshing to see someone passionately talk about how remarkable the BBC is. Yes it has its issues but it really is an incredible institution. I honestly believe it's as important as the NHS
@@sirwizalot7164 Hi! I'd love an example of this propaganda? I'm very open minded and can change my mind if presented with strong enough evidence. A call of propaganda has to be pretty strongly backed up, I'd need a very strong set of examples to go with you on this but open to it. From what I can tell all sides of the political divide tend to not be keen on the BBC, which to me is a strong indication that it's doing something right. It has its problems, not exactly delighted about the coverage it gives to the likes of Steve Bannon or Tommy Robinson but most institutions have their issues. It doesn't mean we should dismantle the whole thing.
@MichaelKingsfordGray Hi there! Sadly not a BBC employee, although I'd love the wages. Also thankfully no mental health issues. I do know several people who do have their problems though and it really does upset me seeing what they're going through. To equate my very mild defence of the BBC with such issues seems a bit below the belt. Not to me, I can take it, but trivialising mental illness is something I personally don't engage in. Each to their own of course, your right to free speech is incredibly important. Luckily we have an institution such as the BBC through which we can express these views.
@MichaelKingsfordGray I've no idea what your views are other than you don't like the BBC so going to have to base it on that. Have you ever listened to Feedback on Radio 4 on a Friday afternoon? Some of the strongest criticism of the BBC you're ever likely to hear right there on the BBC. The BBC news channel is consistently runs segments on problems with the corporation. I agree it has its issues, as do all major institutions, but the concept and I believe intent of the BBC and the vast majority of its employees like positive. Criticisms can only help them improve
@MichaelKingsfordGray Well I'm genuinely interested. I've been quite open with my opinion but you don't seem to be sharing much. If I'm wrong I apologise but I'd be keen to know your opinion. Very open minded so there's a chance you could convert me.
@MichaelKingsfordGray To your way of thinking. Is that not the whole point of debate and discussion? I'm trying to understand where you're coming from but it is difficult as you don't share much. If you don't want to then no problem, that's your right but if so there's no point continuing with this discussion. Regardless, an interesting exchange which for the most part was fairly civil. Another rarity these days.
OMFG I KNEW ITTTTT I HEARD HIS VOICE AND SAW HIM AND I WAS LIKE “huh, he reminds me of that one guy” but then i was like “i wonder if all british people sound the same” which they don’t haha
I feel like a lot of the time you always have brits who don't have the typical british experience in whatever area you're talking about but Jay... now this guy gets it. (although idk if I respect him not liking doctor who 😔)
Very articulate analysis of British television. Usually in these videos I find something that I don’t agree with from the British side but the points were so well made that I couldn’t today
As Russian viewer, I can say that some British reality shows look much less over dramatized and fake than there US counterpart (kitchen nightmares, shark tank/dragons den)
Indeed, US shows loooooove to flood their shots with tears and that damn sad tinny piano music. Kitchen Nightmares US is an example, the UK version is much more focused on the business stuff and food, whereas the US one is saturated with sob stories.
A cool thing to mention would have been the Welsh/Gaelic channels (S4C, BBC Alba and TG4). That are only shown in Wales, Scotland and Ireland, which sometimes show adverts in their own language ✌️
Another example of a show that didn't translate to the U.S. is "Top Gear." The Brit version was great (until Clarkson left) and the U.S. version was ... just ... awful.
John Bartholf the newest series with paddy, Freddy flintoff and the other guy. Is actually good. They seem to have authentic banter like the original trio. I still watch the old episodes like the Christmas special each Christmas
The thing with top gear is it didn't need an American remake, as the original was already successful in America. It was remade just for the sake of remaking it..
The major problem with the american version is advertisers. Having those means you cant trash any bad product because you could be offending a potential source of income. Top Gear is kind of pointless if the hosts cant speak the truth about the things they are testing.
Only over here because of Jay’s channel. Really interesting to see the difference in comfortability in interacting with people on camera. Evan is clearly uncomfortable and has “the show” in mind whereas Evan is very laid back and is just having a conversation with his friend. Trying to be interesting to fans vs. just having a conversation
I disagree. I just think Americans like to either have a lighthearted show to distract from the real world or hear jokes about what is happening in the US no one really noticed but once pointed out it’s funny. Americans want to laugh out of happiness not because someone got hurt. Like the turtle not being killed on the American comedy makes sense because Americans don’t want to see a dead turtle.
Faith with the dead turtle he was pointing out that American comedy too is censored, and due to it being so censored can ruin jokes. I would count modern family as a light humored show, and I just watched an episode where Jay had just killed a turtle. Obviously in a cruel way people don’t want to watch turtles being killed, but in comedy especially in the UK anything goes , and done right it can be hilarious. UK humor in my opinion because it doesn’t have to be as censored is better. British humor is sarcastic humor that I can relate to more. I find it more enjoyable and laugh way more watching a British Panel show or Graham Norton than I do watching SNL.
“The US office was fine” *This is a grounds for war!!!* I personally like both, though I do think British humor has an certain edge compared to American humor that is just great. Love me some dark humor
Such a brilliant episode...great to see Evan sharing a conversation with someone who has the same level of communication skills...can't wait until next weeks now..btw, I love the BBC :)
@@Dorian_B_73 they've done it at the Edinburgh fringe a few times I believe since they stopped making it here in the UK(Far easier to stage a show in a theatre than get someone to film it I suspect), I can't get into the American version for some reason, It's not a specific thing I can pin it on either(a couple of the uk regulars are in it and I ordinarily like the other participants generally) just doesn't click for me sadly so I'd welcome more UK episodes
My pain was life on Mars, a fantastic show, about a guy hit by a car, who wakes up in the 70’s and the issue is the difference between modern and 70’s policing, a David Bowie song is intrinsic. The American version, they are literally on a spaceship, travelling to Mars.

@@reececarroll3727 everyone's got an agenda, you just have to find one that aligns with your own.
Proves you’re not British cuz most brits hate BBC 😂
@@niklas2933 based on what exactly? Most brits I know love the bbc.
@@gandalfthegreyonline then you really met weird people or tories cuz again everyone hates BBC 1. On their news and two because of the TV license
Never seen the US Inbetweeners, but "bus turds" hurt me inside.

I’ve never seen an American copy of a British programme that worked.

Damn I love Jay foreman, he really is a brilliant creator, funny, informative and the sort of person you can listen to talk about tv for an entire video without saying 'LET EVAN SPEAK'
As an American, “Would I Lie to You?” is the greatest show produced in any English speaking country.
The Lee, Mitchell and Bryden dynamic is phenomenal. I love WILTY also. Great show.
Your man Jay knows his shit. Great episode.
Our man Jay
I thought the contrast between American and British humour was really interesting! Loved the video as usual hahaha
We had Jay as the entertainment for our wedding. I was a bit upset that everyone was chatting during his part, but his songs were so much fun for my husband and I.
That's such a cool idea
8 out of 10 cats.. an amazing panel show
And the countdown version 😅
Would I lie to you... funniest shit ever
Yesss oh my god , and would I lie to you !
WILTY, mock the week and QI
schuylersnarrative That’s the only one I’ll watch. Genuinely hilarious every time!
American adverts are ridiculously frequent and long. Thank god for the BBC!
that's the next video!
@@evan A hour of TV minus ads is about fourty minutes, when an American TV gets to be on the BBC
@@karlgoldsmith8047 Yeah, a 'half-hour' sitcom like The Good Place ends up maybe 22 minutes on Netflix.

Oh my god I didn’t know I’d be so entertained by jay Forman talking about television
Ah! I love Jay!
Also- “Jay, 34, map man” wonderful
Glad you liked that! It was well worth the extra 30 minutes to animate both of those lil things
This is the collab that I didn't know I wanted but I'm super glad exists
I know Evan was joking about M.A.T.E.S. but when Ant & Dec used to do SMTV with Cat Deely, they had a F.R.I.E.N.D.S. parody called C.H.U.M.S.
I was half expecting this to be brought up!
I'm confused. Why isn't Jay talking about London's infrastructure or maps?
Or singing songs about Caterpillar sick?
Daniel Steele I had that damn song stuck in my head for the whole of a three hour bike ride last week 😟
I'd love a part 2! I'm surprised you guys didn't talk about nudity in television too. Shows like Naked Attraction etc.
I liked "Embarrassing Bodies" because it was informative.
@@klcvas45 Yes, that's a great example too! I can't really picture the US having a show like it.
That show is the most degenerate thing I've ever seen.
@@daninthelionsden Naked Attraction? Yeah for sure smh.
Naked attraction is the weirdest show-whoever thought of that obviously came up with it pissed on a Saturday
Jay, your voice! I'd never get tired of listening to you.
Jays voice is just brilliant.. also I love the "the British version, the original..." 😂 Deffo made me laugh
this is probably the most education British Vs American ever produced
I don't think it's been mentioned, but when US cartoons were shown in the UK on channels like boomerang and cartoon network, they stuck to UK ad breaks and that meant there were parts where an ad break was obviously meant to go like a cliffhanger moment which would go to black and then the scene would continue slightly after without an ad break. I remember it most on Scooby Doo.
Gogglebox?? Everyone loves gogglebox? Ant and decs shows? Christmas ads? Christmas films? First dates? Game shows? (The chase, pointless, countdown ect) missing loads 😂 need a part 2 ASAP 😂
L X Mr Bean.
Everybody I know(including myself) hates gogglebox and the ant and Dec show

Hes a cutie too
We're about the same age and I get ID' for alcohol fairly often…
He looks 34 to me.
he looks like 34
okay i love this guy he knows what he's talking about, eloquent and has a pleasant voice
Brilliant video. Love Jay Foreman and very glad you collaborated!
This is so true. Listening to any BBC radio station is a wonderful experience. The minute you switch to a regular station you realise how stressful it is to listen to a program constantly being interrupted by advertising. I've listened exclusively to BBC radio for the past 27 years and will continue to do so until I die. Please don't ever privatise this amazing institution.
Kiz Torres as long as people pay there tv licence
Jay's voice is so super well suited for... Any voice Job! It sounds like it was recorded in a recording booth, so perfwctly pitched and lovely tone and pronounciation as well!
It's lovely to see some BBC positivity. The privatisation of it would be an awful mistake were it ever to happen.
It’s a fucking TV channel, not schools, or social security.
Oh, yeah. That. Yup. Forget what I said. Never privatize the BBC. BBC > American news.
Even for those outside Britain it's a damn handy thing. It's a source which you know you can trust and you know is a "people's" thing, "for the public good" type.
BBC are child molesting scumbags
BBC just need to get rid of their leftist bias, call it down the line and all will be well. It is in their own hands.
I LOVED Coupling so much! Much ruder and more real than friends. No one ever mentions it, so thanks for that 🤗
They try to make a US version ... Failed miserably. Best episode of the UK show.. the woman with 2 breast
As a Scotsman. We sometimes use the C word as a term of endearment, for friends etc. A bit like "Baw Bag" or "ya fanny".
As do all my mates in London and every bloke in the North, it all depends on how you say it , it's everything from a term of endearment to an instant fight.
I've heard fellow Newfoundlanders call others "me old cocky". I've jokingly called a friend a cunt. I would never seriously cuss at someone unless they absolutely deserved it. As said in the video, there are definitely words I would never use because they are simply too vile, and when I hear someone else saying them I judge them immediately.
The Australians love it
my fave British vs American yet! hope you make more vids with jay soon

Jay Foreman has my absolute favorite British accent. Love these episodes with him. Very interesting and fun to listen to lol
Might as well say he has a European accent or a Terran accent. He has a southern English accent ;)
Well look, I'm not from the UK. There are tons of English accents and I'm not familiar enough with them to be able to tell region just by listening. What I do know is I enjoy his accent which is not a crime and people could just not be judgy about it. I'm sure that I'm the only one ever to have a favorite accent.
@@RoamingAdhocrat No, they said his is their favourite British accent: they didn't say his accent is the British accent
You two would make amazing podcasts hosts for this series if it ever happened
10:03 Accents change noticeably every 25 miles on average in the UK
I've watched this video a few times recently and I've finally worked out why it appeals to me so much. It is so refreshing to see someone passionately talk about how remarkable the BBC is. Yes it has its issues but it really is an incredible institution. I honestly believe it's as important as the NHS
@@sirwizalot7164 Hi! I'd love an example of this propaganda? I'm very open minded and can change my mind if presented with strong enough evidence. A call of propaganda has to be pretty strongly backed up, I'd need a very strong set of examples to go with you on this but open to it.
From what I can tell all sides of the political divide tend to not be keen on the BBC, which to me is a strong indication that it's doing something right. It has its problems, not exactly delighted about the coverage it gives to the likes of Steve Bannon or Tommy Robinson but most institutions have their issues. It doesn't mean we should dismantle the whole thing.
@MichaelKingsfordGray Hi there! Sadly not a BBC employee, although I'd love the wages. Also thankfully no mental health issues. I do know several people who do have their problems though and it really does upset me seeing what they're going through. To equate my very mild defence of the BBC with such issues seems a bit below the belt. Not to me, I can take it, but trivialising mental illness is something I personally don't engage in. Each to their own of course, your right to free speech is incredibly important. Luckily we have an institution such as the BBC through which we can express these views.
@MichaelKingsfordGray I've no idea what your views are other than you don't like the BBC so going to have to base it on that. Have you ever listened to Feedback on Radio 4 on a Friday afternoon? Some of the strongest criticism of the BBC you're ever likely to hear right there on the BBC. The BBC news channel is consistently runs segments on problems with the corporation. I agree it has its issues, as do all major institutions, but the concept and I believe intent of the BBC and the vast majority of its employees like positive. Criticisms can only help them improve
@MichaelKingsfordGray Well I'm genuinely interested. I've been quite open with my opinion but you don't seem to be sharing much. If I'm wrong I apologise but I'd be keen to know your opinion. Very open minded so there's a chance you could convert me.
@MichaelKingsfordGray To your way of thinking. Is that not the whole point of debate and discussion? I'm trying to understand where you're coming from but it is difficult as you don't share much. If you don't want to then no problem, that's your right but if so there's no point continuing with this discussion.
Regardless, an interesting exchange which for the most part was fairly civil. Another rarity these days.
I freaking love Jay, if you haven't heard his song Potato then you're living life wrong
i was wondering why this guy looked so familiar, it’s because he’s the singing one syllable out of sync guy!
Omggggg I did not realise
OMFG I KNEW ITTTTT I HEARD HIS VOICE AND SAW HIM AND I WAS LIKE “huh, he reminds me of that one guy” but then i was like “i wonder if all british people sound the same” which they don’t haha
Emma yep we definitely don’t lol
And all the Tube stations. And many others.
wow Jay knows what he's talking about, he has his thoughts organised
I love how Jay flips into Wikipedia mode everytime he's explaining something :)
I love this so much. I think we really are so lucky to have the BBC in the UK. Also, Jay's voice??? Couldn't have a more radio voice.
I've also noticed that British TV includes more sex and nudity whereas American TV includes more violence.
That’s ‘Murica for you. Always puritanic as fuck.
RTD era Doctor Who: you can have blowjob jokes and other refferences to sex, but absolutely no blood alowed.
I love panel shows so much, mock the week is one of the best
Fleabag is a perfect example of British humour being dark.
Welsh Inc Phoebe Waller Bridge is the best person in TV right now, happy birthday Phoebe!
Or killing eve
I feel like a lot of the time you always have brits who don't have the typical british experience in whatever area you're talking about but Jay... now this guy gets it. (although idk if I respect him not liking doctor who 😔)
"sometimes I watch it now if there's nothing else on" - brilliant
I just absolutely love listening to Jay.... I could listen to him explain things to me all day.....

Very articulate analysis of British television. Usually in these videos I find something that I don’t agree with from the British side but the points were so well made that I couldn’t today
Oh my God I started watching Jay Foreman 5 days ago and have watched every single video on the channel. I'm so glad he's here
As Russian viewer, I can say that some British reality shows look much less over dramatized and fake than there US counterpart (kitchen nightmares, shark tank/dragons den)
Indeed, US shows loooooove to flood their shots with tears and that damn sad tinny piano music. Kitchen Nightmares US is an example, the UK version is much more focused on the business stuff and food, whereas the US one is saturated with sob stories.
omg i so excited for this,i love these videos!
David Attenborough is golden
Doctor who is amazing 😔
I'm just replying to say I agree
A cool thing to mention would have been the Welsh/Gaelic channels (S4C, BBC Alba and TG4). That are only shown in Wales, Scotland and Ireland, which sometimes show adverts in their own language ✌️
True, but Ireland is a separate country from the UK.
Another example of a show that didn't translate to the U.S. is "Top Gear." The Brit version was great (until Clarkson left) and the U.S. version was ... just ... awful.
John Bartholf the newest series with paddy, Freddy flintoff and the other guy. Is actually good. They seem to have authentic banter like the original trio. I still watch the old episodes like the Christmas special each Christmas
@@mystic_mimi21 "Original trio"
Angela Rippon: Am I a joke to you?
"Original trio"
Jason Dawe: Am I a joke to you?
I don't think that Top Gear is inherently British; it could work well in any country.
The thing with top gear is it didn't need an American remake, as the original was already successful in America. It was remade just for the sake of remaking it..
The major problem with the american version is advertisers. Having those means you cant trash any bad product because you could be offending a potential source of income. Top Gear is kind of pointless if the hosts cant speak the truth about the things they are testing.
This makes me unusually proud of the UK lol
Only over here because of Jay’s channel. Really interesting to see the difference in comfortability in interacting with people on camera. Evan is clearly uncomfortable and has “the show” in mind whereas Evan is very laid back and is just having a conversation with his friend. Trying to be interesting to fans vs. just having a conversation
UK humor is better than the US.
It is, hands down!
In general it is but the US has some brilliant comedians too.
I disagree. I just think Americans like to either have a lighthearted show to distract from the real world or hear jokes about what is happening in the US no one really noticed but once pointed out it’s funny. Americans want to laugh out of happiness not because someone got hurt. Like the turtle not being killed on the American comedy makes sense because Americans don’t want to see a dead turtle.
Faith with the dead turtle he was pointing out that American comedy too is censored, and due to it being so censored can ruin jokes. I would count modern family as a light humored show, and I just watched an episode where Jay had just killed a turtle. Obviously in a cruel way people don’t want to watch turtles being killed, but in comedy especially in the UK anything goes , and done right it can be hilarious. UK humor in my opinion because it doesn’t have to be as censored is better. British humor is sarcastic humor that I can relate to more. I find it more enjoyable and laugh way more watching a British Panel show or Graham Norton than I do watching SNL.
I couldn't see Americans setting a comedy in the trenches during World War One...
2 of my favourite RUclipsrs collaborating
BRILLIANT
“The US office was fine” *This is a grounds for war!!!*
I personally like both, though I do think British humor has an certain edge compared to American humor that is just great. Love me some dark humor
You talked about panel shows and didn't mention Mock the Week?!
Such a brilliant episode...great to see Evan sharing a conversation with someone who has the same level of communication skills...can't wait until next weeks now..btw, I love the BBC :)
The British morning shows where they sit around and read the newspapers is another oddity in UK TV.
There is one US copy that has gone on longer than the UK version and is a Panel Show: 'Whose Line Is It Anyway?'
But it was ours first
@@Dorian_B_73 they've done it at the Edinburgh fringe a few times I believe since they stopped making it here in the UK(Far easier to stage a show in a theatre than get someone to film it I suspect), I can't get into the American version for some reason, It's not a specific thing I can pin it on either(a couple of the uk regulars are in it and I ordinarily like the other participants generally) just doesn't click for me sadly so I'd welcome more UK episodes
Both versions are terrible.
Dave is my favourite channel because of their comedy stuff like taskmaster and Jon Richardson's ultimate warrior
YES TASKMASTER KDJFKD
I know it's a typo but I now need Jon Richardson to do a show called "ultimate warrior" 😂
@@JeM130177 ahaha I didn't even notice
I love Taskmaster
My pain was life on Mars, a fantastic show, about a guy hit by a car, who wakes up in the 70’s and the issue is the difference between modern and 70’s policing, a David Bowie song is intrinsic. The American version, they are literally on a spaceship, travelling to Mars.
I liked this video. Jay Foreman came across as informed and articulate. You should collaborate more often.
