The British are so funny.

I grew up watching British comedy on TV, really.

I don't tend to watch too many American comedies. I love British comedy.

There is so much cross-pollination between the U.S. and Britain in terms of comedians. British TV comedies work well in the U.S. American stand-ups make it big in Britain.

I love British humor. It's just so - surreal.

A lot of comedies fall apart because they just go from joke to joke, and the characters are all sort of being crazy off on their own.

Every Brit I met had the best sense of humor. They're hilarious: very dry and witty.

The irony is that we're really good at comedy in Britain, but for some reason, we make very few comedy films. And when we do, they're either quite American in style, or very Richard Curtis. And I like Richard Curtis, but I think only Richard Curtis should write Richard Curtis films, and other people should try and find their own style.

When I do watch things, they tend to be a lot of comedies. I actually like some of the British comedy series. But, on the whole, I'm not a huge viewer of anything.

I suppose I miss the British cynicism and the humor.
