This has been a great thread. I have not seen "Brass" but will look it up. That short clip was great .
Without making any judgement about which is "better or worse" I think we can agree that a few hundred years apart has evolved a different sense of what consistutes funny for for the "typical" ( what ever that may be ) American vs British person. I've gone to a few ( non- mainstream) plays and comedy clubs in the UK, and genearally you can pick out the American tourists in the audience because they don't laugh "in the right places". Conversely most of my British friends don't understand US humour
