Time magazine Oct 13, 2008, Page 6. “ What’s the difference between American and British humor? ” Simon Pegg replied, “ Often, I find, my American friends when they are being ironic will say, ‘Just kidding,’ afterward……. We’ll say, “ you do this, or I’ll smack you in the face,” and expect that person to realize that we’re not being serious.” |

I think saying "just kidding" kills the humor dead.

I dont think americans understand British humor and British dont understand American humor maybe I am wrong, thats how i see it bailey1275 I doubt that the much loved Morecambe and wise or the two ronnies television programs would raise a titter in the states , even the 80's comedy sensations Little and Large or Cannon and Ball who knows what american children would make of the Chuckle brothers Bob the Builder sounds very strange when talking in American or chinese and I darent mention Blackpools very blue Roy chubby Brown
