Women are afraid to approach right?

This is something british people like to tell themselves when they find americans who don't laugh at sh*tty british humor. To say Americans don't "do" (get?) sarcasm and irony is yet another perfect (and ironic) example of european ignorance of american culture.


The UK Office is some of the best British tv comedy ever, where as The US Office isn't even in the top 20. What else do you expect when you try to copy something Rickey Gervais does?

Oh mate lighten up I was avin' a laugh. And you don't really get it it anyway....not the very subtle stuff. Like, i met this southern couple when I visited, and I called them "y'all" just to take the mick a little bit, they had no idea what I was on about, same when I randomly shouted "Dude!" to the American lads I met

What other examples of European ignorance of American culture are there? I know everything there is to know about it mate: I got MTV and there's a Maccy D's near me! You may understand sarcasm but you certainly don't get irony...actually on the East coast its not so bad, but down South and West Coast you lot are fairly ignorant. I mean, look at American comedians...no intelligence, pure slapstick.

Britain rules...deal with it

Hey ease up bro!
Y'all wouldn't be nothing but a fuking crater if the US hadn't cleaned up Britain and France's mess in WWI and II.

Women never approach?

Two words: The Beatles.

Not to imply any of us has that level of status, but it illustrates my point.

Bill Hicks
Lenny Bruce
George Carlin
Louis CK
Richard Pryor
Mitch Hedberg
Chris Rock

Are your posts a joke? Here's a tip: not laughing at comedy doesn't necessarily equate to not getting it. Next time you see americans who don't laugh at some crappy british "humor", it may just be because it sucks. Mate.

And for the love of god, please stop trying to convince people you know anything about america just because you spent a few weeks in a couple cities and have MTV. It's getting embarrassing.

what's the beef?

what's the beef?

Some guy made a dig at a British TV show and the other guy proceeded to clown on American comedians.

 

[seagull]

US-style humour doesn't really work in shows like the Office.

 

[Crank_It_Up]

BS. Don't care what you look like, how rich you are, it don't happen.

I've been in the field long enough to know this....it don't happen. Men have the upper hand cos we have the power to approach, and thats the way it should be.

don't get so bloody mad if it didn't/doesn't happen for you, just be happy for the blokes that do get approached. Ok old chap?

 

[randomusername]

i find for the most part, women drop hints and other things that aren't direct...its up to you to make the move..they do the set-up.

All BS. American culture is rammed down our throats every day....trust me I know. And trust me you don't get our humour.

Like I said, not in my country. I'd say I'm a 9 and have mates who are 10s.....they don't get approached. Maybe you should read my previous posts before posting such BS. Old chap (no really....you're 49 right?)

how does it taste?

 

[Tha Realnezz]

Most of the time they won't approach even if you are attractive they'll just stare and at best ask a very vague question give a shallow compliment.

Very few women approach in a direct manner.

I certainly am...one of the few true ones ie. actual mancs!!

 

[Last Man Standing]

"The Office" is the best comedy show since "All In The family" - 30 years since - it is about ordinary everyday straight-laced humor!!!
