One of the few British sitcoms I can actually follow *lol*
But like I said when it comes to trying to explain exactly why it was so funny it's really hard.

What... the... heck... ?
Obviously British and American humor operate on different wavelengths.

Brit humor still grasps most of the essential concepts of good comedy...

Ah yes. Obviously, if a scene doesn't consist 75% of the F word then it's not funny enough. O.o
Meh. Outside of Mr. Bean, HGTTG, and (to a certain extent) Monty Python, I've found most British humor within the past 50 years to be rather bewildering.

Amazing. I've found the opposite. Brittish humour is more refined than american, and I grasp it fairly well.

Actually the joke in that little clip was precisely the fact that swearing like that is completely uncharacteristic for Ted what with his whole priestly image and all.

Peep show is weird like I keep saying. Most of the stories don't even revolve around anything big. Just those two guys in their daily life.
Apparently half the scenes are done by getting the actors to strap a camera to their heads in order to get that "seeing through the actors eyes" feel that gives the show it's name.

That one was pretty hilarious. Caught me off guard lol. Loved it though.
Are they all that awsome?

That wasn't even a moment I remembered from the show until I actually came across the clip so although it's good it's not anything that stands out from the norm.

Cool. I'll definitly be on a look out for these things. Or more so, the lookout for a new job to pay for these things lol.
Hmm, if I score a job at the dvd store...
