We all knew the Americans would reply, so fine, I'm in. I have been raised
on British Humor. I grew up on episodes of Monty Python and later Mr. Bean.
I know all about Fawlty Towers and Are You Being Served. It is not a British
comedy vs. American comedy thing! I adore most British shows! Over here
(states) we have this cartoon called "Cathy." It was with Cathy that my
brother made his little theories on how women speak to each other, AbFab
just seemed to fit what he was looking for as well.
Us Aussies, well we'll laugh at anything.
Like Americans won't laugh at anything? For a long time there one of the
most popular American sitcoms was "Full House" which launched those
obnoxious twins into stardom. Americans are well known for their bad taste...
