To quote a former Norwegian Minister of Foreign Affairs, “We don’t think of the British as foreigners. We think of them as very strange Norwegians”
Yes that is true and the Scousers are more so than most Brits.
British humour. English lesson for foreigners.
British humor is beyond words:
Based on a true story:
No it is not based on the IMO Vision test requirements.
From a funny Brit who’s as American as The Beatles.
Hope this doesn’t offend anybody, or break any forum rules:
Another hilarious sitcom is ‘Fawlty Towers’ from about the same era.
One of the funniest:
More about the war:
The characters may be “Germans”, but the humour is still British
Irish humor is not much different from the British variety:
Especially if it is about Aussies.
Or Irish black humor:
No, it has nothing to do with racism.
I think the likes of Mind your language and Fawlty towers sitcoms are kind of slap stick.
The dry or wry humor of the English (upper class) is also very funny.
Years ago, I heard this story about RR (aero engines) developing a launching machine with chickens to test the windshields of aircrafts with pretty good results. The Americans procured this launcher and all the windshield popped and reverted to RR for advise. One liner response.
‘Try thawing the chickens’. 
I’ve heard it with the nationalities reversed. And with different nationalities.
I am sure you have. Most jokes are regurgitated in many languages with diverse nationalities and/or ethnic groups.
Reminds me of another one. Dunkirk. Several Brits and French and one American soldier are lulling themselves to sleep and telling jokes. After every joke every one laughs. Then someone noticed the American was not amused. So someone asked – do you not find this funny? He replies … ‘Heard them before’.
