Finally -- the hilarious "Gnome Scene" from The Full Monty is on YouTube! But for how long??? Gaz and Dave use Gerald's garden gnomes to sabotage his job interview: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Full_Monty

Humour is a question of taste. To compound matters, there yawns a rather large chasm between the US and UK brands. I have great difficulty relating to most American "humor", although Mikie's recent post in this thread elicited a guffaw from me. UK actor/comedian Kenneth Williams' musical alter ego Rambling Syd Rumpo may not be to everyone's taste but if you like your double entendres to come in waves, he's your man. Here he is with what may have been a double-sided 45 combining "The Ballad of The Woggler's Moulie"... ...with the well-loved audience participation number "Green Grow My Nadgers Oh!": en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenneth_Williams

This is Eilert Pilarm, the Swedish Elvis (although he claims there are three more) singing "Jailhouse Rock", which he means in all sincerity but it cracks me up every time:

Stephen Fry and zoologist Mark Carwardine head to the ends of the earth in search of animals on the edge of extinction.
In New Zealand the travellers make their way through one of the most dramatic landscapes in the world. They are on a journey to find the last remaining kakapo, a fat, flightless parrot which, when threatened with attack, adopts a strategy of standing very still indeed.
Well, it's not exactly standing very still here:

This may tickle a funny bone or two among our British posters and browsers. Ronnie Pickering was big news for a while in the UK media and became a huge internet star ( here is the video that began it all): iwiki.net/Ronnie_Pickering

Now for some Dutch humour...
According to the opening announcement, there's one lesson to be learnt here -- never address a Dutch police officer as 'pannenkoek' (pancake)!

I've been watching this daily and hooting at it every time. Henning Weyn dispels the myth that Germans don't have a sense of humour. Or does he? Like Rich Hall, he seems to be filtering his comedic talents though the lens of UK humour, up to and including his ridiculous accent: Tomorrow being Easter Sunday and all that...
