Does anyone else think that the British have a superior sense of humor – so much so that sometimes it’s hard for other mere mortals to laugh along?

There was a time when I looked forward to humorous British flicks. They were so…puzzling. Remember the one about the pig that made its way into the household? It was impossibly funny. I guess.

Today marks the day of the return of the Little Britain – a comedy series aired on the BBC. How funny is it? Consider this description and photo of one of the characters:


Bubbles
Repulsively obese Bubbles spends all her time at a health spa, being preened and pampered at the expense of her mysteriously-absent businessman husband. Whenever the manager tries to establish when her husband will be settling the balance, she fobs him off before offering him 'alternative' methods of payment...
To celebrate and promote the return of the show, BBC sponsored a contest for people to write in untrue facts about Britain. Here are some favorites. Unique, aren’t they?

In Britain, roundabouts were installed in 1904 at cliffs to stop people driving into the sea.

Scotland was supposed to be called Wales, but it was found that the name had already been taken.

In Britain, something funny happens every 13 years.

Cornwall was added onto Britain in 1923 to make it a more attractive shape.

Britain is actually pronounced 'Britain', which not many people know.

In Britain 86% of people are right handed, 13% use their left hand. The other 1% don't bother.

For health reasons, doughnuts contain no nuts.

City gents in Britain wear bowler hats as a tribute to Laurel and Hardy.

Britain's museums contain the largest number of bronze age pots in the world. Please feel free to take one.

The only qualification you need to work for the Royal family is, bizzarely, the abilty to spin plates.
