Well then make some space and remove Superbad. I was in pain the whole time I was at the movies watching it.
They tried way to hard to go for the shock factor. A fat nerd spouting obscenities is only funny for so long. Bad actors trying very hard it seemed to act badly.

If you want comedy head to the UK. The food might blow but their comedy runs rings around the Yanks. John Cleese alone makes that isle worth while.

:shock: superbad was amazing.

I am from the UK :-D lol..fawlty towers is what we have! But i tell you scrubs is also considered a big riot and thats american (no way homes! Yes sherlock old boy!)

But yes, British comedy is very good, look back to the old days, Yes Minster, Worcester and Jeeves (i think I spelt something wrong!) Monty Pythons flying circus, porridge. All greats.

British/UK stand up is amazing to. I would HIGHLY (and im talking like past the clouds brother) recommend Dylan Moran, absolutely hilarious man. (Although Canada offers Russel Peters...he's soo good to.) But yes. Dylan Moran, and Peter kay, although id say only watch Peter live, certainly far better then on tv, Dylan is good for both. In fact..ill fetch a Youtube link to the irish master himself..when I remember..

I've seen pretty much any stand up there is to offer thanks to university networks. All the Comedy Central Presents series and such and yes Dylan is good.

As for Superbad... I really think you should reconsider. I watched it with a few friends who enjoyed it and that usually makes a comedy better, to laugh along with others but even then it was painful.

of course every country has its highlights.

Yes he was in black books. I would suggest his show 'monster' to watch. All of it is definately on youtube.
