Hahaaa, satire!godofallu said:For a second there the OP almost made me hate British people. Then I realized that I can't think all British people are lack-witted simpletons just because one is.
You are only meant to use capitals for the first word of each sentence, proper nouns and the word 'I', including of course I'm, since it is just a contracted 'I am'.Jaime_Wolf said:National Generalizations Based On a Handful of Things You Don't Like are Fucking Idiotic

No. No it isn't. I'm Canadian, and utterly loath that show. There was one episode a friend practically forced me to watch, where they hijacked a bus full of people and forced them to trim pot, but that was the only thing I've ever liked out of the 7 or so episodes I've seen.surg3n said:The funniest show ever though is Trailer Park Boys.
I was parodying the title of the thread - thus the title case. If any criticism could be leveled, it would be that the capitalization was inconsistent among the short/function words. Though on the other hand, opinions on proper title casing remain largely divided with no universal standard in virtually any major dialect of written English.Kurokami said:You are only meant to use capitals for the first word of each sentence, proper nouns and the word 'I', including of course I'm, since it is just a contracted 'I am'.Jaime_Wolf said:National Generalizations Based On a Handful of Things You Don't Like are Fucking Idiotic
But back on topic, yes. Generalizations are bad if you present them as fact.
Sigh... just because there's a huge market of people that like silly sitcoms, it doesn't mean it's all america wants... I'm European and some of my favorite comedians are american. Chris Rock, Louis CK, Ricky Gervais, Seinfeld...Dr Red said: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. Watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PmLQaTcViOA
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.
Surprise, South Park the place and South Park the show were born here in Colorado. About 45 minutes from where I am right now, as a matter of fact. I can't comment on whether Parker and Stone work out of another country now, as I don't follow that sort of stuff as a rule, but they are most certainly from here and most certainly are responsible for everything that show ever was or is.Dr Red said:I like South Park (I know it's Canadian) for it's witty commentary of current affairs.
