I think it's funny. I laughed pretty good last night when he threw the ice cream sandwhich at that guy.

Only so much dry British wit I can take anyways. Yesterday I watched some british comic on Comedy Central. Everyone in the audience was rolling and I didn't know what the fuck was so funny.

Ice cream sandwich? What the fuck have you yanks done with this amazing show? I can just imagine the wit involved in throwing a sandwich.... :rolleyes:

What show was it? Maybe I can explain what it is you don't understand. :p

Ab Fab is just outrageous and funny because of how great the three main characters are and how they treat each other. Red Dwarf is hilarious in how random it is etc. I'm sure a lot of British humour is far too subtle for your simple minds. ;)

It would help if they spoke english better.

No, Ive never seen it, but it certainly cant be as fucking dumb as the amercian version I saw the other night.

The British version is hysterical, go to pretty much any Hollywood/Blockbuster video and rent the DVD's, you will become a believer.

I wish I really knew what the difference was, cause I just don't get it. I mean Monty Python was hilarious, but any other British comedy I see sucks.

Red Dwarf kicked ass, but I'm not sure if I'd call it a comedy. There were plenty of episodes where it was mostly drama. Still a good show though.

There was a lot leading up to the sandwich. Basically:

1.) Idiot boss puts asshole in charge of picking a new healthcare plan.

2.) Asshole guy picks REALLY bad plan.

3.) Boss tries to cheer everyone up by saying he has a "BIG SURPRISE!" for them.

4.) Boss has no idea what the surprise is...so he buys everyone icecream sandwiches.

5.) Meanwhile the employees lock the asshole guy in his office. The asshole yells at them from behind the window.

6.) Employee throws his icecream sandwhich at the asshole while he's yelling at them. It was funny.

Yeah. Look it was way funnier than the english comic who's entire routine was:

"French people don't say their names like the rest of us. They say...my...name...is...Maurice!" and then he proceeded to repeat that in a stupid french accent for about 10 minutes.

I haven't seen the UK version of the Office yet. :( I want to though. Are the DVDs out?
