You look at shows like The Simpsons or Larry Sanders or Curb Your Enthusiasm or Seinfeld, they're really sophisticated shows that we all love back home.
From Simon Pegg
There is a universality to comedy.
American audiences tend to be more expressive than British ones.
The main jokes in this film are about big things, love and life and zombies - we all get that.
In England, we don't have any guns whatsoever.
You always worry about films when you hear about them making decisions after announcements are made.
That's what we wanted to get across in that moment, particularly when Shaun goes to the shop when he's all hung over. He doesn't notice any of the zombies around him just because he never had before, so why should he at that point?
I mean, yeah, I'm sure that Python and the other things have paved the way for a greater understanding of the British sense of humor, but I don't think it's all that different than the American sense of humor.
I think at its best the American sense of humor is the same as the British sense of humor at its best, which is to be wry and ironic and self deprecating.
I just love listening to the laughter.
