Good sketch and proof that some Americans can understand and have and enjoy the British sense of humour.
Here is one of my favourite sketches from Fawlty Towers

Most episodes are on you tube, dated but hilarious
Hi Queens men. I love British humor especially the Goon Show. My mothers family all emigrated from Britain after the war. Some came from London area some from Northumberland. Lost a great grandfather to a V2.

Do you ever get to download old british sitcoms? I can recommend quite a few, a couple of them quite controversial in today's climate.
The Goons were my favourite as a lad. Spike Milligan met Harry Secombe in North Africa during WW2. Milligan was a gunner in the Royal Artillery. Apparently Milligans gun crew sited a gun on top of a hill, when the gun fired it jumped out of the gun pit and rolled down hill followed by Milligan. Milligan opened the canvas tilt of a Bedford 3 tonner where Secombe was sitting and said those famous words, ""Anyone seen a gun??"" Hillarious. :mrgreen:
Sure please do, I can only image the controversy. They wouldn't involve women would it?

Who won the bloody war anyways! great stuff.
I loved Spike Milligan's war memoirs, I remember picking up my first one in the school library by accident and couldn't put them down until I had read them all.
The wife thought I was crazy but I also used to play the audiobooks to the kid at times, figured you are never too young to appreciate good literature.
While in Italy, Milligan fell in love with an Italian lady of the night. He wrote in one of his books "I knew she loved me, she only charged me half price."
Hilarious.:mrgreen:
