The ability for us to laugh at ourselves is Britain's saving grace.

Each section of the British Isles has its own way of laughing, except Wales, which doesn't.

We have a curious relationship with 'funny' in the U.K. We love to laugh, but we also think that making people laugh is just a little bit second-tier, especially in a literary context.

The British are so funny.

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.

England and Denmark have a sense of irony and a darker sense of humour that you don't necessarily find in Germany and Sweden.

Britain's a funny place and there's a lot of funny people coming out of there and a lot of people are finding mediums to express themselves.

In England we are sort of very awkward.

The Danes don't take themselves seriously at all and look for the joke in everything. Us Scots are on the same line of latitude and have the same amount of light, which may be why we have a similar sense of humour.
