My cheeks are hurting. I laughed so hard that I missed some of the precious fast moving dialogue! My PBS station has begun to rerun old "Fawlty Towers" programming!!!
Is anyone here as big a fan as I am of this hilarious show????

Hi Sunspot. I'm particularly fond of much of British humor, Fawlty Towers, as well as Monty Python's Flying Circus. British comedy is a bit more brasher than traditional American comedy. They are particullarly good at slapstick, and tounge in cheek. Hillarious, especially a lot of the men who are portrayed as women.

Fawlty Towers is very funny but my absolute favorite of all times is Absolutely Fabulous, aka AbFab! Brit humor is the best.

British humor- Funny to a Christian?
There has been much buzz as of late about British shows such as Faulty Towers, Monty Python, etc. But with the subject matter that the producers hash out to get a quick laugh from the audience, a faithful Christian is wise to ask, "Is this really funny"? Let's apply bible standards. The Bible says that Jehovah does not like "unnatural acts". So, seeing as Jehovah hates homosexuals, surely he would not take kindly to men who dress like woman, much less the people who might find this brand of lewdness funny. So in light of this new information, a good Christian will realine his thinking with Jehovahs, and refrain from watching PBS.
