They are funny!

ninathenana Tue 20-Sept-16 16:16:45

I can't relate to most of them smile

Bellanonna Tue 20-Sept-16 16:27:35

Agreed, nina. I just don't get American humour.

Grannyknot Tue 20-Sept-16 16:46:46

Why is it American humour? confused

Ana Tue 20-Sept-16 16:54:20

The spellings (favorite, canceled etc) give away that much, but I wouldn't have thought Americans went in for black humour as much as we Brits do!

Grannyknot Tue 20-Sept-16 17:07:43

Of course, and the use of "z". But to me the humour isn't necessarily American smile

Ana I thought that was suitably British black humour.

Ana Tue 20-Sept-16 18:33:17

Yes...not sure what I've said that was so funny! confused

Ana That article made me laugh.

Ana Tue 20-Sept-16 18:57:30

Oh, sorry Nellie, crossed wires there! smile

Nellie what article ? All I see is a list of questions.

It's a sort of cynical, world-weary humour but is it typically American? Maybe Roseanne-type humour? (who remembers Roseanne?)
