"US is in the form of sitcoms so sophisticated US humour can be hard to come by here. (I actually wasn't even sure it existed!) :p"
Hah, you got me grinning. Rest assured it's pretty tough to find here, too.
You may have noticed I've had to explain a few jokes in the captions here and there to increase the chance they would land for everyone...
PS - I shudder to think at the conclusions if we were judged by our sitcoms.
I've travelled a bit and culturally we are not that different in the West (especially the English speaking countries) but I have noticed that humour IS noticably different, just like accents are. British, American, Australian and New Zealand all have different styles of humour that can take some getting used to.
I don't mean to sound snobby but the US exports a LOT of crappy sitcoms so perception of US humour where I am from at least is not great.

How dare you speak ill of Friends! Or...Big Bang Theory!
