Guest rosencrantz Posted January 9, 2001 Posted January 9, 2001 i predict there will be mucho more clarifying needed before the poor pizzahut gets his answer.
Guest Jabba The Hunt Posted January 9, 2001 Posted January 9, 2001 The name of the character from the hitch hikers gudie to the galaxy is called Ford Prefect - This was a saloon car when the book was writen however it never made it to america.

Guest Coffeebean_uk Posted January 10, 2001 Posted January 10, 2001 Personaly I think that American humor has no place in british culture. (Sorry all you yanks.) But all of the amarican writers etc. are ruining our industry. ------------------ Lestes constase mit column cantes. Dont know what it means but it sounds good!
Guest Zoom Rabbit Posted January 10, 2001 Posted January 10, 2001 Well, America still hasn't recovered from Monty Python being aired on PBS in the seventies. This 'pollution' thing works both ways, yunnow...
Nute Gunray Posted January 10, 2001 Posted January 10, 2001 It takes a VERY special type of American to make heads or tales of "English" comedy. And none of you POSER Rowan Atkinson fans counted.... I was watching Mr. Bean on PBS three years before they were going to make a movie... And I don't see HOW American comedy could possibly drag British Comedy down...i've seen a lot of BOTH. British comedy, like their food, sucks. [This message has been edited by Nute Gunray (edited January 10, 2001).]
Guest Plasmo Posted January 10, 2001 Posted January 10, 2001 I think that people are reading way too much into the whole name thing. I think that Douglas Adams was a genius, but you have to have a very dry sense of humor to get his books. By the way, I happen to like some of Monty Python's stuff, although it can get pretty dumb!! Some american humor is pretty stupid too though. Ex. Southpark. Need I say more?? Canadian humor is where it's at. (The Royal Canadian Air Farce!!)
