Great Television Shows For Fans Of British Humor

Manifest What you Want, Whenever you Want....

Most people fully understand the fact that British humor is not quite the same as American humor, as it is much more dry and at times even much more coarse, but while some Americans find that British humor does not especially appeal to them, others find that British Humor is a fantastic source of laughter; if you are a fan of British humor, here are two British shows and one American show worth diving into.

One of the most popular shows on American television over the last several years has been The Office, but before The Office was a popular show here in the States, it was a popular British show; the UK version of The Office contains only 14 total episodes, but in these episodes is packed so much humor, you will be able to enjoy them again and again!

If workplace humor is something you get a kick out of, but you enjoy your workplace humor with a bigger dash of the absurd than you would find in The Office, another show worth checking out is The IT Crowd, which centers around the lives of a couple misfit IT guys at a big company in London; the success of this show has led to plenty of Hollywood exposure for the two stars - but those who love The IT Crowd will always remember them for their roles on the show!

And one show that failed to stay on the air on network television in the States, but would have had no problem building an audience and fan base in the UK, was Arrested Development; this show starred the likes of Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, Michael Cera, David Cross, and Jeffrey Tambor, and was narrated by Ron Howard - and though the show ultimately failed, its subsequent (and continued) success through DVD sales has led to an upcoming 10-episode "years later" season that will be aired on Netflix, and will be followed by a movie!

If you are always on the lookout for new ways to get your fix of British-style humor in the States, any of these three shows will give you exactly what you need!
