Most of the jokes were quite similar to Blackadder to be honest. It's just black humour.I would like to think British humour is of a much higher standard than making cracks about paedophilia or dead children.
Great comedies like Blackadder, Fawlty Towers, Only Fools and Horses are prime examples of classic British wit and humour, not these "lads" with their third rate impressions of Bernard Manning.
