I like South Park (I know it's Canadian) for it's witty commentary of current affairs. It actually takes issues of the day and makes some good jokes at them. Family Guy is just ok - I wouldn't watch it often, but it can be funny. The kind of American humour I really don't like is shows like the Big Bang Theory.

It just isn't funny. Not because it isn't my sense of humour, but there is no intelligence to the jokes involved. America has scrounged genuinely good British TV series such as Shameless and The Office, and ruined them in an effort to bring them to the American market.
My point is American humour is unintelligent and boring to watch. It is juvenile, and I find it actually almost painful to see shows like Two and a Half Men doing well when they are so full of utter crap.
your an idiot, South Park is not Canadian, Trey Parker is from Colorado, and Matt Stone is from Texas, and The Big Bang Theory does not represent american comedy, channels or time slots that specifically do comedy like Adult swim and Comedy Central are ones that can be used to judge. Judging from this thread your views are bias and prejudice in the first place, as you base your entire argument around one show in one instance (though the big bang theory is not a good show any way) And The Office is not a Bad show in the US side, its actually pretty funny, I doubt you've even watched to be Honest, and if you have then you simply didn't get do to, well you know, NOT BEING AMERICAN, its not just a re shoot of the same episodes in Britain just with american characters, it takes the basic plot setting around the office and uses that as a basis for the show, AND Britain got the Idea of the show in the first place from the US, (remember Office Space?). As for shameless I haven't even heard of the show much less seen an american re-interpretation.
More proof of your prejudice is also shown, by the way, how you look at crap that we think is also crap, and act like every one in the US likes the shows. You simply go around stating turds that came out of america and compared them to a few British shows, not only claiming that all american comedy is stupid (oh and you said that South Park is not american and credited it to Canada) but at the same time saying that British comedy is the best, you don't talk about any other foreign comedies, and only state shows from Britain.
Your prejudice dribble is fine on other forums, and in your own country, but on these forums have some respect for other countries.
(ps. I don't hate British comedies, I actually like them, better than a lot of american shows, but this does make it have the best comedies in the world. )
