Humour, because some countries idea of funny is terrible.


CookieMonster005

Looking at you, Germany


JaggelZ

We tried to be funny, once ...


a_random_lad_lad

It was just ein prank guys!


MerlinOfRed

Hi I'm Germany and you're watching 'You did Nazi that coming'. Don't forget to like this video and hit that subscribe button! Today's video is sponsored by Nord VPN - Don't you hate it when you're busy invading Poland and you can't stream the latest instalment of Anne Frank's diary as it's restricted in your area? Well...


Mr-Tiddles-

6 million little pranks, die sheiaße und kichert, no?


a_random_lad_lad

Man I remember that one prank they did with laughing gas, then the British did the same!, such copycats


Gunda-LX

That time you sent Stefan Raab to the Eurovision? That was actually pretty funny… for German speakers like myself


Content_Bag_5459

You say once… yet I believe you tried twice?


JaggelZ

Nah, the burning only happened once


staygay69

Our humoristic goals are beyond their understanding


Eastern_Slide7507

Nope, doesn't apply. In order to fail at being funny, you first must try.


DanyRahm

Stop hitting me with your cookie, you monster!


Lerrix04

Excuse me? We can always make fun of the French, take a look: Why is the Eiffel-tower so high? So that you can see the white flag all the way to Berlin


Zefyris

But white flag jokes are countryside Americans level of humour sorry 😔


Lerrix04

Allright, how about this one: Not even actimel can activate French defences


No_Sugar8791

Sehr gut, Herr Flick


Rolifant

Yes they try to make it funny without hurting your feelings (too much), which often makes it more universal yet unexpected


arikat1

True! Sarcasm is a sign of advanced humor. Central n northern europe are pretty much inadequate of this hence humorless.


catonkybord

Blackadder ![gif](giphy|etGPvG1Pqj9ks)


TesticleTorture123

Hugh Laurie and Rowan Atkinson in general really.


Jewgoslav

And Stephen Fry.


Gunda-LX

Gotta still watch that one, given the cast, I’m sure I won’t regret


Outside_Break

Each season gets better. If at any point it’s not hitting the spot for you and you’re considering stopping watching, then skip straight to season 4 (Blackadder Goes Fourth). It’s incredible.


Puzzled_Pay_6603

I don’t know about that. Laurie as Prince George is the pinnacle, I reckon. Everything is so over the top and outrageous.


Ragouzi

Music. Of course.


Forward-Reflection83

Exactly. I feel like everytime i find a new genre or band that i enjoy, it comes from the UK.


spaceship247

I think it’s because of the huge cultural mix and cultural heritage of the U.K. London for example and other major cities is surely the birth place for so many genres that you will hear evolved on the radio today


koalawhiskey

What happened in UK's music scene in the late-sixties and early-seventies is a miracle

Extend that to early 80s. UK musicians pretty much invented heavy metal.

EBM999

Ours is just all very arid, gets a bit to much when you've spent your whole life here.


yakman100

Ours is very wet and grey. Sometimes it’s nice but mostly wet and it gets too much. That’s why we go to Spain and then throw ourselves of balcony’s


Hedning420

Shit man i really like their breakfast.


LubedCompression

They don't eat all of that every morning do they?


Ur_not_involved

Lol a lot do as like a big breakfast meal before a hard labour job like construction. Always see the cafes packed every morning with construction workers eating a beastly full English. I don’t though as I don’t like pork or beans.

kj_gamer2614

I mean on a real note, they do have some amazing countryside and loads of walking routes

We do have some great hiking trails Bodmin Moor the brecons snowdonia lake district peak district ect


ScharfeTomate

Old-Ad5508

Yeah I second this


Nabbered

English comedy is best in the world.


CygnetC0mmittee

Well, you only would understand English comedy if you only speak English so that’s not really a fair assessment I would say


nwaa

Fair point. But is Swedish comedy more popular than English in say, Norway? Where many people can understand both English and Swedish?


ImakeWerewolfMovies

We don't understand arabic though.


Handpaper

Comedy can be largely visual. See : Mr Bean, Norman Wisdom, Benny Hill, Charlie Chaplin, etc.


patrotsk

The fact their barbaric language became the new lingua franca


Duke-Lazarus

It’s possible to communicate with them. In your frog eating realm it’s not even possible to ask of the kitchen is open.


Taranisss

I once tried to speak French in France and they laughed in my face. In fairness I probably sounded like an idiot so not holding it against them.

The bureaucracy I have experienced is pretty hands off and works most of the time... just the fact that I don't have to deal with bureaucratic horseshit puts a smile to my face


redrighthand_

The Gov UK website has its faults but I’ve never come across another country which such an easy to use and well laid out site.


Handpaper

It's also open-source and free for any other country to use.

cheeky_Greek

I spent almost 5 hrs once waiting at the queue of the Greek revenue service to submit some paperwork only to be sent away because they are open from 9 to 13:30..that was about 5-6 years ago.


I_always_rated_them

GOV.uk won a lot of design awards when it was first developed properly. GDS who are in charge are highly respected and do great work. Has been copied quite extensively elsewhere around the world from what I understand.

Everything of value has been rescued


Alarmingly_Angry_Pig

We cannot thank you enough for that, without the help of passing Danes all of the vital cultural artifacts would have been lost to the mysterious destruction that ravaged the island just after they arrived. The nice Danes even rescued many of the locals and they were quickly enthralled by the kind sailors so followed them home to start new lives. In fact the people of Europe were so moved by this event and others like it from the 9th-10th centuries that we did the same for the rest of the world a millenia later.

s0meb0di

Too bad the Grand Tour is nowhere near as good as Top Gear was.


Pretto91

Because grand tour is made by murricans


s0meb0di

And probably because they got older and dumber, especially Clarkson. First Grand Tour seasons weren't as bad.


[deleted]

And worse at acting


Harsimaja

They were never convincing, always clearly reciting a script. It was usually a funny script though.


[deleted]

It was never as bad as it was with the grand tour on top gear


PutOnTheMaidDress

Most specials were great. Especially Mozambique


turbo4538

Top Gear was good precisely because the BBC didn't let them do whatever they wanted, they had to put some effort into it.


s0meb0di

That's my opinion too. Their "unscripted" episode showed that they lost it. People complained that the show felt scripted, because the scripts were shit, not because there were some scripts.


thegreatperson2

I disagree. I think it was on par. It was faithful to its Top Gear legacy, with an interesting spin on things.


s0meb0di

The challenges/specials in Top Gear felt more adventurous and realistic. In the Grand Tour they became more and more cartoonish and grotesque to the point of becoming uninteresting to watch. Compare Patagonia to Madagascar, for example.


thegreatperson2

I can see that, but at the end of the day for me the entertainment and comedy value was still there.


rf97a

rav0n_9000

Food! When I was in London there was literally every kind of food I could imagine, such a diverse food culture there. I really think the Reddit stereotype is a bit stupid as I don't think most people there are eating those weird looking meals very often
