British humour, it tends to be more dark and sarcastic, and being British myself I relate to it better.

I loved Mr. Bean ever since I was little, but I also love the humor that goes on in my classroom at school.

Both of them for different reasons - it's difficult to compare the two.

I love Both!! Believe me, I lived in Mexico and both are way funnier than Mexican humor.

But lately I've been watching a lot of British tv

I don't really have a preference. I'm British and there are Bristish comedies I love but there are American comedies I love too. There are also comedies of both nationalities I dislike. But the comedy sitcom I love most is British (Fawlty Towers) so I suppose I choose British. ;) My 2nd favourite is Frasier though.

My fiance doesn't appreciate British humor as much as I do. My late husband's father and I would sit up and have marathons. He died two years ago and that's one of the things I miss the most.

I'd say I prefer the more intellectual humor of both countries, to the less intellectual humor.

I must say I find British humor more entertaining:

Bean, Monty Python, Shaun of the Dead, The Office, etc...
