The inability to be impartial. Say I was a referee in football, and I supported the Netherlands, and it was against Germany. I would be Bias because I supported one of the teams.If that makes sense.

Lets do a test: Can somebody make a typical english joke and then post your location and if you need to laugh about it!

I think its hard to tell what origin a joke comes from unless given context. Although I may think that because I'm Canadian (canadian humor is a mix I believe).What would a farmer say if he lost his tractor?Where's my tractor?

If anyone wants an example of Canadian humor, look up Corner Gas. Amazing show, it's like a national icon here.

For very British comedy. I would suggest looking at Red Dwarf/The League Of Gentlemen/A Bit of Fry and Laurie/Harry hill/George Formby/Carry on films/Tommy Cooper (my ultimate, all time favourite).Yeah. I love British comedy. It's part and part what makes me enjoy being English.I forgot whose line is it anyway. The original English one. Awesome show.

I missed out loads.I purposely missed out Monty Python, though, as that's what most people associate British comedy with.Bottom, The royle family, I'm Alan Partridge, The Goodies, Absolutely Fabulous, One foot in the grave, The Good Life, father ted.... So many more. All of them are amazing.

On The Buses,One Foot In The Grave,Steptoe and Son AND Rising Damp....

I intentionally ignored the royale family because its crude humour rather than subtle intelligent humour, which is what british comedy is about.'As time goes by' is another awesome sitcom, starring Judi Dench.
