When are Americans going to realise they can't do comedy?


Leave it to us Brits, eh?

Nice try, have a cookie for that, but in the end. This is the End failed miserably like 90% of other American comedies. You just don't get subtlety or comedic timing. American comedies are about as subtle as a brick through the window.

Just when I thought your politics boards had reached the bottom of the stupid barrel, you dive in deeper and prove that barrel to be a bottomless one. Was this movie funny? No, it sucked. Was it because it was American? Not one bit. There are funny American comedies and there are British comedies that suck but your myopic agenda doesn't allow you to see the truth in that.

Yuffie Duffie, are you that insecure? This may not be the greatest comedy but, neither are a lot of films by YOU guys. Boring Troll...

Okay, everybody - earmuffs. how about NO. Americans are very capable of making comedy. Yes I'm serious, and don't call me Shirley. Your ridiculous comment's got me in a glass case of emotion, so now I'm on a mission from GOD to prove you wrong. I know we shouldn't be fighting in the war room, but given the right script and director, american comedies can go to 11. Thank you very little, the price is wrong, bitch.

Sorry to take you down so harshly, but you went full retard.

Ha! America has consistently produced the best comedies in the world:

T.V. Shows:
-The Simpsons
-Family Guy
-South Park
-Futurama
-Friends
-Seinfeld
-Scurbs
-The Big Bang Theory
-Two and a half men (when Charlie Sheen was around)
-Archer
etc...

Movies:
-American Pie (first one)
-Scary Movie (first one)
-Spaceballs (or anything Mel Brooks really)
-Ace Ventura 1&2
-Liar, Liar (and more Jim Carry movies)
-Home Alone 1&2
-Woody Allen Movies
-Wes Anderson Movies
and so on....

Brits have made what? Handful of internationally funny things:
-Mr Bean
-Monty Python
-Shaun of the Dead
-The Office (although I find the american remake funnier)
-Coupling (maybe, even thought its just a crappier copy of "Friends")
and ... thats about it?
