Wow. I haven't heard that term used in 20 years.
Best as I can tell, the only way you can make something from Germany, Poland, France, or Syria even remotely funny is through mistranslation.

OK, so aside from the UK, the rest of Eurasia are a bunch of non-humor-producing cnuts.
Well, I'ld say that this isn't all that bad.
You should see our politicians, those are about the funniest on the planet!

So you're taking my side then? ****, an episode of America's Funniest Home Videos, complete with Bob Saget commentary is funnier than that.
Weill, there isn't a time I can remember when I couldn't randomly flip through channels and find a rerun of Are You Being Served playing.
all in all, the most entertaiing thing out of Britain these days IMO, is your polititians jeering and hooting and hollaring at each other in the House of Commons or Parliament or whatever it is.
I'd try to find a YouTube video of it but I'm working... but THAT **** is hysterical. Better than our boring Yanquis politians putting everyone to sleep so they don't pay attention.

Well, that's quite a tough one to compete with, I must say.
But to be honest, it's almost impossible to find decent videos of Dutch humour, the language barrier is too big.

Odd considering all the Dutch I've met speak English(rather well I might add, better than a lot of Americans I know). From my perspective, the Dutch are a funny people in general, but not because they are trying to be funny. Granted, it might be because I was off my rocker during my entire visit there, but still they are a pretty funny crowd. Oppy's kinda funny though, but not like funny ha-ha, more like funny strange.
True, true, but the reverse is extremely rare. Not many English persons know Dutch well enough to sit through a comedy show that's entirely in Dutch.
(and to be honest, in general Flemish humour is a bit better than the Dutch one. Personal opinion naturally, but still. Only the stand-up comedians tend to be better. For now anyway)

You should install a webcam so you can monitor what happens when you are gone. Did they pee on your keyboard?
Okay - just FYI, as the original person with the peed on keyboard, quick update: no more incidents have occured despite the holidays being a perfect opportunity and just today I recieved my new (pee free) printer. (Yes, comrad, People's Republic of California highly efficient.)
