The elitism in this thread is astounding. I live in Britain and can safely say it's not exclusively intellectual, and that going out into the streets of England you're more likely to find a Boosh fan than a Chris Morris fan. Just because one comedy doesn't fit your exact requirements of 'classic British humour' doesn't make it any less British, because really all that word means is the country it came from.

Saying one form of comedy is good doesn't exclude all other comedy from the region because of your preference, you know.
