Well, Im a huge fan of it, but only really have movies to judge it on. I think it goes both ways for both places because america puts out a TON of bull**** movies (like the 35 american pie flicks) that arent humorous what-so-ever, but we have a few good ones (me and you and everyone we know). As for british humour (rock-n-rolla, snatch) are excellent, but movies with simon pegg (hot fuzz, shaun of the dead) are junk IMO.
