Answer by daddykane2000
I think that, in general, Americans are very concerned with being PC and not wanting to hurt someones feelings.

The rest of us aren’t. I live in Ireland and we have quite a dark sense of humour, as do most other European countires.

When it comes to humour we understand that thats exactly what it is, a joke. If we make fun of something or someone it’s not to express an opinion its to raise a laugh. That’s not to say I like or support rascist jokes, I don’t. Europeans understand irony more than Americans. We may say something for the sake of saying it without attributing any real meaning to it.

However, there are some very, very funny American comedians and TV shows that go against the grain. But, when most of us think of American humour we think of tame sitcoms like Friends which probably don’t reflect American humour accurately and seem to follow the same safe formula.
