Yes, it's funny, eh? :roll:

(to clarify: I was born in teh USSR, so I think my view of American humor and a whole bunch of other things is obviously gonna be different. Same with anime, and the whole issue of 'dork' culture.)

a) hard to generalize. On the whole, it tends to be nicer and not as overtly political. Part of the reason I find things like Family Guy or South Park hilarious sometimes is that they're really way too mean.

But that kind of humor often lacks an essential "warmth" to me; that's why, for instance, I might lean towards some of the Japanese school-comedy types of anime. It might even be an individual thing, but to me - romantic humor > social humor.

b) In absurdism, Russians are second to none. You could refer to one of my AMVs, but it uses FLCL. :roll:

Can you possibly give an example for absurd humor? Cause brits can be pretty good at that too.
