Well I was just wondering what the americans here on VT think of Little Britain.
Personally, I never found it that funny when it first aired ages ago as just 'Little Britain'.
But the new version in america is to be blunt....crap.

It's not funny at all in my opinion and i was just wondering what the americans think.
Thanks. :-)

I disagree, I think Little Britain is amazing but I think Little Britain USA is still hilarious but it has lost some of those English jokes and the English charm it once held. But, yeah, I love LB. You have to understand the jokes though, and if you find it racist and take all the nudity seriously it's not for you. Fat fighters and such makes me rofl. I hate the granny scenes on LB USA, I don't think they're funny at all.

I get the jokes. My friends moan at me for knowing what too many jokes mean when they don't!!! lol
But I watch it, get the joke, and I don't laugh....
i don't know why, i just don't.

I don't like some of it. Like I thought the shaving pubes scene was down right rank, as with bitty I laugh but showing the tit does go too far.

"Oh, that's racist"
"Don't worry; it's Little Britain"
I've heard that a surprisingly high amount of times.

It's not the racism. IT's comedy after all. Supposed to be comedy anyway.

Dunno i think it's only showed in England. Go onto YouTube, as you can't access iPlayer, and search Little Britain USA. Or I can send u an episode I downloaded from iPlayer on MSN if you want.

I'm not American, but personally I find the majority of it completely not funny at all.

But I do admit, only some parts are kinda hilarious.

Little Britain is good, its very repetitive, but its very different if you have never seen it before. My American friends if you have HBO watch it, like it, love it.

I've always liked it, even the first series - and I remember it wasn't at all popular around here, until the second series. Then people went mad!
It's not brilliant. But I AM easily pleased :P
