PS. Some of you uptight UK'rs need to see the joke in this. Please don't turn it into something serious. Figured I'd post this because I know some of you have no idea what funny is.

a) LOL

b) Not sure how to respond to this. Oviously sarcastic but the fact that there is a context for understanding the sarcasm is a sad commentary on the U.S.

c) The comments on Britain seem sarcastic as well but once again there is a context for them.

d) A funny, but insulting, look at both nations.

Not a bad bit of self referential sarcastic humour there.

:rotfl:

I don't see why you have to worry about anyone missing the joke. It's kind of obvious.

It's stupid.

It's funny.

It's funny because it's stupid.

What's not to love? "Stealing our language." "Super-Jesus."

Reminds me of Nick Searcy's character in Head Of State: "God bless America...and no place else!"

Could have been very funny, like alot of US humour.
A reasonably sound idea, but,
The delivery and execution is of an average American standard.
And America is so very average.

I like being average. From a phycological perspective, average is the most buetiful thing to you brain. The 'average' as you say is what you find attractive in women for example. The chick with the most 'average' features is the hottest chick walking the planet! Take facial features for example. Ever notice that? Of course not, but a phycologists will tell you different. You are preprogrammed to look for averages on a genetic level. Seems you must Really Really like America! :p Hahahaha!

I like the bit where he says 'nothing good has ever come out of Britain'! :rotfl:

How about the founders of the US?

Who says Americans have no sense of irony!
