I fall in love each single time by watching these videos.
Mind your language is the best one for me
British humour is very spontaneous and seems to be a part of everyday conversation, as many of your episodes show. Other nations also have that, but the Brits are masters in this area.
Brits are very good at making puns! here are few which i found funny: 'To the guy who invented zero- thanks for nothing'.
My dad died when we couldn’t remember his blood type. As he died, he kept insisting for us to “be positive,” but it’s hard without him.
My first job was working in an orange juice factory, but I got canned. I couldn’t concentrate.
The blood type joke is brilliant and has that dark side which Brits for sure love
in latin america countries (countries in america continent that speak spanish and portuguese), there is a mexican TV serie very famous. The original name é "El Chavo", in Brazil we call "Chaves". This TV serie is old, but is so funny, hilarious.
Why are there no Pandas in the desert? Because it's unBEARable.
😂
I have a suggetion in a future video, one issue that has been talking about in the news is global warming, could show the opinion of the British.
Thanks Willian! I'll add it to our list of questions
We think it's being totally exaggerated for Corporate and vested Government interests.
i'll just leave this here-
you can never tell a kleptomaniac a good joke, they're always taking things literally
Used to watch Dave Allen all the time ,way before your time!!
I think Americans don't get irony so well and don't make fun of themselves as much as Brits do!
I found him through a mention of Alan Davies', and I'd really recommend giving him a watch!
Dave Allen's irish not British get it right
Wow, thanks for this episode! I had to look up some words in order to understand some of the jokes...😉
You’re welcome Ursula 😁
Having lived in both Britain and the US, I definitely have to say that (most) Americans don't get irony and/or subtle jokes...
To understand British humour you firstly have to not take yourself too seriously. If you take yourself very seriously and act like the world revolves around yourself, you won't understand British humour at all.
I like your vidéos . They are very useful. Thanks for you .
Thanks for your support Sihem 😁
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
"Mrs Slocombe, we do not make personal calls in the firm's time. Neither do we contravene the Trade Descriptions Act."
Great joke! (the last one about Freud)
I really love watching Jay Foreman and his Map Men series 👍.
I know lots of jokes in Spanish, but as far as I can remember now, they are all untranslatable 😝😅...
Map Men, Map Men, Map Map Map Men... Men
@@declup yay! 🤣
I had a British friend from that city ( Brighton ) for a few years she had been a good friend but unfortunately after she went to university she drifted apart from me 😞
Best British tv comedy in my opinion: Yes, Minister; Fry and Laurie; The IT Crowd; The Graham Norton Show; and all those zany panel shows you Brits've got.
Some excellent British comedians: James Acaster, Greg Davies, Jack Whitehall, Joe Lycett, Nish Kumar, Romesh Ranganathan, Joe Wilkinson, John Oliver, Tom Allen, Richard Ayoade. Let's add some Irish ones too: Dara Ó Briain, Aisling Bea, Ed Byrne.
I'm telling you, Mitch, mate, when that girl said _"brace yourselves!"_ I felt that! 😁 I'm _so_ lousy at humour, that I could make a fortune by just betting humongous amounts of money on your sense of humour undergoing an implosion, the likes of which physics has yet to observe, right after one of my jokes.
I know some folks might not agree, but the older I get, the more I'm convinced that that's one of those things that you're either born with, or have mercy on those poor souls, oh God almighty who in heaven art, who have to listen to your "humour".
Then again, there's still some solace to be found in the fact that, just like with so many other things in life, you don't have to be good at it yourself to be able to appreciate it in others, eh? 😎
P.S. I didn't know that Freud joke, but I sure know I enjoyed it! 😂🤣
i wanna speak english in brit accent.. like you ..
We do banter in Slovenian as well all the time. It is like saying d*head stuff but being good at heart.
But some of British jokes are still difficult to understand, not that it is so brutal, but we just find it a bit wierd really.
Same as you would find wierd some our jokes about nationalities (slovenes, croats, serbs, bosnians, montenegrians).
This American also enjoys British humor, more so than our comedy. "Dad's Army,", "The Thin Blue Line", Alas Smith & Jones, The Two Ronnies (esp. "Four Candles!!") are all brilliant.
Oh wow! Thin Blue Line is a cult classic!
@@EasyEnglishVideos Who could forget Inspector Grim's many rants?
'Not Going Out' has to be the sitcommiest sitcom I've ever seen. Which is weird to me, b/c when I think of corny sitcoms I think of American stuff pre-2000, not British.
what do i know about brit's humor ? it's sad.
but i can see why.
how many of them grown up on this specific chat line " behave, you're English for god's sake ! "
I started to watch an old BBC TV series called "Dad's Army" and I didn't expect it to be that funny 😂, it's also a kind of depreciation of Britishness mentioned in the video.
My joke is: Descartes finishes his drink and the barman asks him if he wants another, Descartes says: "I don't think..." and he disappears.
(Descartes is known for saying "Cogito ergo sum." Meaning "I think therefore I am.")
What is British Humor...what joke do you know? football is coming home :D
😂😂
Random question: why are the doors behind you different colours?
Hahaha, they are beach huts and they all used to be beige... I actually heard someone painted them in the night for free, I think they look quite nice, to be honest
@@EasyEnglishVideos I like seeing these happy colours by the sea! Very unique & fun!
@@esmith712 You should visit Brighton if you are able; it's a really great place
@@EasyEnglishVideos I hope to save up & travel to the UK some day! Until then, I enjoy & learn in your videos 😊 Can't wait for this pandemic to end. Hope you all are well there & take good care!
@@esmith712 Thanks so much for your support, keep safe and we hope you make it to the UK at some point :)
Always thought Brits have wickiest humor on earth. Yet I found it very entertaining and love it. My favorite shows so far Catherine Tate in Catherine Tate's Show (really loooove her rendetion of Shakespeare's Sonette 130 that ending with her screaming, "BİTE ME, ALİEN BOY!!"), Mr. Khan and all his crews on Citizen Khan (the way he explained sex intercourse using Cricket metaphor was tottally ruined my view of Cricket. Eeek... And Oh, even when I watched a lecturing about fasting by Dr Pradip Jamnadas as If was lectured by Mr Khan. Well, if you know then you know). The BLACKADDER series that looong before Mr Atkinson was muted to Mr Bean and way more younger and handsome mate! The Ali G, Little Britain, the chatty Alan Carr and Graham Norton. Alas, nowadays many find Brits humors (comedy shows) are too racist. Or is it the world that shrinks and become too sensitive, innit?!
We love Sarah Millican!
Agreed!
Are you know why didn't Hitler told "THANK YOU"?
Because he didn't know English 🤗
im gonna take ielts so you know what im boutta do😤
Good luck… we are currently making an episode testing Brits with questions from an IELTS exam 🙌🏻
@@EasyEnglishVideos thank you so much👊🏼 living in uk is my biggest passion i hope it will come true
