Eric Idle getting accosted with colored dust from traditional Indian dancers, with nuns, an opera singer with a trident, and Roman Legions doing the Can Can is the type of weirdness my humor has devolved into and I’m okay with it.

@daz4312

I grew up through the 60s, 70s, and 80s with the Addams Family, Laugh In, MASH, the original SNL Players and a similar sketch comedy type show called Fridays. And all the great Mel Brooks and Peter Sellers movies. And MAD Magazine. If my sense of humor wasn't completely twisted from all that, Monty Python's Flying Circus, The Benny Hill Show, Are You Being Served, Fawlty Towers, and Black Adder certainly bent it totally the rest of the way!!! Love that British humor!!!

@andrewsebastianrothgarnant350

Not really. The UK is a more "worldwide" country than Brazil is. UK TV-shows are shown all over the world, UK music is played all over the world and so on. Brazil is mostly known for Copacabana, the statue of Jesus in Rio, and samba. The point is that people around the world recognize Mr. Bean, James Bond, David Beckham, Monty Python, the Spice Girls etc. And therefore the references are known also outside of the UK. In Rio most people outside of Brazil didn´t have the slightest clue about the people performing there
