tbh - british humour is an acquired taste.
the humour is in the irony, this is something i find that american guys dont OFTEN get, im not saying you dont get it at all.
not everyone in britain found the office funny...
re: 'monty python / obvious humour'... that was 30 years ago, and it was avante garde at the time. british humour has advanced a lot since then, and the office is evidence of that.
sarcastic humour isnt so big here anymore, neither is catchphrase or obvious humour.
irony is huge here... especially when its at others expense. for example... what us british find funny about borat is probably different to what americans have found funny about it.

some... kinda?
