LiberalApple, British movies suck... Explain what is wrong with Trainspotting. What about Guy Ritchie's Snatch (which is even better than Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels.) The list of solid British movies goes on and on and on. ...because the British have the humor and personalities of a cactus. If British have the humor and personalities of a cactus, then why are so many British TV shows so funny. I challenge you to find anything in American TV as funny as the season 25 episode 4 of Never Mind the Buzzcocks. The first season of the American version of Shameless is almost identical to the British version because it was so funny that the American's copied it. Miranda is a HILARIOUS (albeit silly) TV show. How can you not love galloping? "Such Fun!" Whenever I see Spider man, I think of Jeff doing the Spiderman dance in Coupling, and I still laugh about it. Absolutely Fabulous is a riot. The Mitchel and Webb Experience will make you laugh so hard you won't be able to breathe. This is leaving aside classics like the Benny Hill Show, ANYTHING Monty Python ever did, and Are You Being Served. Seriously, do you really think either Benny Hill or John Cleese has the personality of a cactus? Do yourself a favor and watch some of these shows. I guarantee you will laugh (unless you are a cactus.) While you are at it, watch some British drama. Luther with Edris Elba is a brilliant cop show. Broadchurch (also copied by American TV) is excellent (sort of a season-long episode of Law & Order, SVU, but with better writing. Downton Abbey is fantastic, as are Sherlock and Victoria. Side: No

Our Queen is not amused at the dissent you colonials are beginning to show. You have the audacity to steal and bastardize our language without making any apology for further demeaning it by using it in cheap American pop culture. Have you second removed subjects of the crown no shame? I only know two American words, lousy and swell. I think swell is lousy and lousy to be swell. Side: No

So then how come Spiderman was British? How come The Beatles, the Rolling stones, and countless other British bands and actors are so well liked by Americans? It's because you lot have no humor! Come off it, Ricky Jervais is a Brit, and all Americans love British humor! We also have very creative jokes ;) Side: No
Lol really ... Charlie Chaplin, Alec Guinness, Richard Burton, Michael Caine, Peter Finch, John Hurt, Judie Dench, Daisy Ridley, Gary Oldman, Bob Hoskins, Jeremy Irons, Liam Neeson, Ewan McGregor, James McAvoy, Ralph Fiennes, Ian McKellan, Colin Firth, Christian Bale, Helen Mirren, Benedict Cumberbatch, Eddie Redmayne, Andrew Garfield, Idris Elba, Audrey Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor, Julie Andrews, Julie Walters, Emma Thompson, Kate Winslet, Carey Mulligan, Rosamund Pike, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Tilda Swinton, Rachel Weisz, Sean Connery, Ben Kingsley, Tim Roth, Tom Hardy, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Hugh Laurie, Dev Patel, fucking Daniel Day-Lewis. You must be joking. Don't forget the directors, too. Alfred Hitchcock, Guy Ritchie, Steve McQueen, Paul Greengrass, Danny Boyle, Cristopher Nolan ... Oh and the musicians .. Adele, The Beatles, The 'Stones, David Bowie, Led Zeppelin, Fink Floyd .. America's pool of genuine talent is mostly Brits. Morgan Freeman, Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Jack Nicholson, Meryl Streep, Matthew McConaughey, Jessica Chastain, Kate Mara. That's it. That's how many talented, adaptable American actors there are. That's how many actors America possesses who aren't just one-dimensional typecasts. And as for your music .. Bieber? Mumble rap? Snoop Dogg? Fucking Nicki Minaj? You, as a nation, have terrible taste in everything. Terrible taste in food, drink, language, literature, television, film. British chefs teach you how to cook; British actors make your movies great. You stole the hamburger from Germany; the fry from France; your national anthem from a Brit; your hotdogs from Vienna; pie from the Romans; democracy from the Greeks (and it's not even a good democracy); cars from the Germans; TV from Britain; cowboys from the Spanish; beer from the Germans. There's nothing authentic in your entire country. Rude, arrogant and always trying to take credit for someone else's hard work. That's America. Side: No
