British humor: British humor not only taunts you in language, but also crushes you in IQ. The biting irony of the British is really obvious. They are cruel not only to others, but also to themselves. They are serious and self-deprecating and expressionless. People who can't get it don't know whether to laugh or not. British people like to lose books when they are humorous, like to chew over words, and like to play with connotations.

You have to beat around the bush to make a joke.
