So a Brexited Britain might not be quite the economic power it once was, its football team (yes, that football) consistently underperforms, and they’ve yet to convince anyone else of the merits of room-temperature beer or beans on toast. But Brits do have one thing that’s the envy of the world: comedy. At times sharply witty, at others childishly absurd, occasionally so bleak as to make you feel guilty for laughing, it’s always ruthlessly innovative, endlessly pushing the boundaries of humor — so much so that Britain sent John Oliver across the pond because he was too mainstream.
From Monty Python’s Flying Circus to Mr. Bean, from The Office to The Inbetweeners, plenty of British classics have not only become worldwide hits and timeless classics but also invented new subgenres of comedy and sparked endless nowhere-near-as-good-as-the-original remakes. So as OZY’s token Brit and walking national stereotype, here are my picks for the best in British laughs.
