Only in Britain

Since moving to England I was introduced to different ways of life which includes the food, culture, tradition, etc.

One particular aspect which surprised me in the beginning was the British humor. Personally I think it's bizarre. For one thing comedians in this country aren't afraid to speak up and of course take pleasure in making fun of anything under the sun.. if you are new and don't understand you will find it surreal or offensive. Well I suppose it's not everyone's cup of tea isn't it?? I'd like it to share this with you as at first I couldn't stomach it myself.

Let's look at some of the weirdest/funniest I come across.

1. I don't know if you heard about the 'Vicar of Dibley' but this sitcom about a female vicar was created by Richard Curtis who's also responsible for films 'Four Weddings and a Funeral', Love Actually', and 'Nottinghill'. I find this funny and worth watching although the character is far fetched sometimes however religion in Britain is viewed/practiced differently compared to other countries after all the monarch is the head of the church of England except for Catholicism.

2. Another program I follow is 'Have I Got News For You' which includes a panel of comedians in a question and answer program. It's hilarious when comedy wits gets thrown here and there and sometimes censorship..well ignored. Courtesy of BBC.

3. Nevermind the Buzzcocks is also a satirical quiz program with a panel of musicians and celebrities. I just saw the best ever episodes earlier and found out it's still so funny.

This is obviously a glimpse of British humor. If you are new , you will find it strange and simply offensive but if you live in this country and understand the culture you would just take it or leave it or perhaps take it with a pinch of salt.
