Do you think British films and TV shows are too laid back and boring?

I do.

The only funny British show I've ever seen was Benny Hill. Old dudes chasing chicks on fast forward makes me giggle.

I think the sense of humor is just different. I know The Office was originally from England, and it's hysterical! And I love Monty Python! It's just a matter of what you like.

I wouldn't say boring,cause some of their show are quit good, but many seems to laid back for me too.
To be honest, I think it is more because of the difference of culture, many things we might find funny, they won't and versi versa.
The show, "The Office", I'm lucky if I even smile, yet many loves it? This show is now playing in french with french actors and it is a success??? Question of taste!!!
Good day!!!

wasn't 28 days later british? that wasn't boring.

british shows are great and their comedy is absolutely hilarious

Not at all. It just takes a special brain to get. I, thankfully, have such a brain. Cheers! Eddy, Cheers!

I don't. I think their actor's are great & don't have to be glamorous. The shows are really good whether you understand the humour or not...so good that the sit coms are now done in the US and locations & humour adjusted to American values. (I think Archie Bunker was a great copy but there are many more). They have series running on Public TV here out of Buffalo, NY. On our regular programming I tried Coronation Street and didn't understand it but I persevered (they really know how to devop indepth characters) took a while but I'm hooked. I used to watch The Eastenders but it's no longer carried in Canada but it is the US as my girl friend watches it.

I love British films. Never was a fan of Benny Hill or Mr. Bean. That's why they have so many different venues.

I agree, they are laid back but boring no they really attack social issues and they are not as focused on being politically carrect as we are I find some of the issues fascinating.

All I can say is watch a British sitcom called "Bottom" and tell me if you feel the same way.
