The British Sense Of Humour  The British have the best sense of humour. British have developed sarcasm and irony into an art form, have the best and most surreal sitcoms from the television world. British sense of humour not only mocks and satirizes authority figures and sacred cows but spills over into relationships with colleagues and friends with witty banter and sometime relentless mickey-taking! also is self-mocking. Self-mockery is not self hatred – it is merely recognizing that our flaws and imperfections are funny and we are big enough to laugh at them.
