Americaaa

First off I don't really find this skit funny at all, and of course that is because I am American. The laughter from the audience seemed to come at the most random times and all he kept saying was America and The States. The way the skit ends proves exactly how the British feel about American culture, that we are a bunch of self-centered country lovers that just need to be punched in the stomach to shut us about about how much we love our country. I obviously don't agree with this because I am an American and I do love my country but not to the point that I would sing a song about it (ha!). I have also seen some other British comedy skits such as the British version of The Office (I will post an example on the discussion board), but I just don't find their sense of humor funny most of the time. This is because of the fact that although they speak the same language, they have a different culture and therefore will find something funny that I don't find funny because I am not part of their culture.
