Do you think there’s a real difference between British and American humour — and does it matter who your audience is?

🔥

British humour is often dry, awkward, and built on understatement (think Fawlty Towers or the UK version of The Office), while American humour tends to be more direct, expressive, and punchline-driven (like Friends or the US version of The Office).

If you were asking AI to write something funny, would you tell it whether your audience is British or American? Do you think that actually changes how the humour lands?

Curious to hear what people think — does humour need tailoring, or is funny just funny?
