The overwhelming majority of Americans are possessed of two great qualities a sense of humor and a sense of proportion.

American people have the ability to laugh at themselves. It is one of the things that makes this country the great country that it is.

Sometimes Americans don't quite get my sense of humor. My good ol' British sarcasm seems to go over their heads.

I always thought the biggest failing of Americans was their lack of irony. They are very serious there! Naturally, there are exceptions... the Jewish, Italian, and Irish humor of the East Coast.

I think American guys tend to be a bit more forward, a bit more chatty and open than the Brits. The Brits seem to have a darker sense of humor, though I have met some Americans who have adopted bits of the British dry sense of humor as well.

I find that Americans completely lack sensibility and good taste. They are boring, and they all have faces like unbaked rolls.

Comedy in America is very serious. Either they laugh, or they don't.

I think that Americans find the Australian humour and the energy of Australians very refreshing - we are quite self-deprecating, we're light-hearted and can have a laugh.

I think that humor has become a principle means of communication among Americans about politics.

I don't know if my sense of humor goes over Americans' heads.
