Do the Brits appreciate American humor?

I tend to not think so... 🤔

What we humans are attracted to is a familiar 'likeness' to that of ourselves. If what we see in someone else is something that we like about ourselves, we will be attracted to that person in some way. This is because 'like' attracts more 'like' to itself within the universe.

Certain thoughts will attract more similar thoughts, be those thoughts 'good' or 'bad' thoughts for example. Bad thought will attracts more bad thoughts and good thoughts will also attract their own likeness.

The Brits as a collective Nation do not see themselves as being 'like' Americans in any way, shape or form. In fact, Brits are highly insulted if you mistake them for being 'American' or if Brits are falsely accused of being 'like' Americans.

I think that Brits laugh at Americans whenever Brits view Americans performing like poorly trained dancing bears on the world stage, but I don't think Brits actually have a true appreciation for America's perception of humor.

But what is America's perception of humor, one might ask?

My answer to that would be, Americans themselves don't know the answer to that burning question, so how could I know?

I only know one thing for certain and that is, if American sit-coms didn't come fully equipped with laugh-tracks, nobody in the world including Americans, would know when to laugh and when to shut up and listen when they heard American humor being performed on TV.

I think this is because Americans as a collective Nation do not ever laugh at themselves, nor do Americans like it if foreign Nationals laugh at them. After all, America sees itself as serious business contained within a suit of armor.

Nobody laughs at America's Superman, nobody pulls the cape from America's Lone Ranger and nobody ever told the All American John Wayne to go pi** in his hat and wear it.

America's perception of itself as self-ascribed savior of the world means, they don't like anyone who laughs at Superman, nor anyone who dicks with the Lone Ranger nor anyone who attempts to humiliate America's favorite Pilgrim, John Wayne. Anyone who attempts to undermine America's perception of itself is therefore subjecting themselves to banishment from life on American principle alone.

Brits on the other hand, laugh at themselves all the time. In fact, the vast majority of British humor stems from British issues or British perceptions of how the world goes around as their King monitors the situation and gets back to them in good time with Royal interpretation of the seeming illusion at hand.

If a foreign National goes to Great Britain, particularly England and jokes about British society, an Englishman will one-up that notion by making life in Britain sound even more hideous than anyone ever thought it was in the first place.

But don't ever say that to a Scotsman while visiting Scotland. Scotsmen are actually far worse than Americans for taking people seriously when someone jokes about them. Scotsmen don't see themselves as British, though Scotland is part of Great Britain. Irishmen don't see themselves as English either, though Ireland is part of Great Britain as well.

I guess what this means is that the only ones who truly laugh at themselves in Great Britain are Brits, which technically are the English in jolly old England. The Irish don't see themselves as Brits and certainly no Scotsman would ever stand there and let some foreign National call him a fu*king Brit, though only a drunk Scotsman in a weak moment could ever accuse another drunk Scotsman of being nothing more than a fu*king Brit and get away with it.

The question really is then, do the English in Great Britain have an appreciation for American humor?

The answer is still no, because 'like' only attracts 'like' to itself in the universe.
