I couldn't agree more. The British really are the best when it comes to comedy. I think if we look at the family tree of comedy it probably starts with Charlie Chaplin and then goes to Peter Sellers (The Pink Panther), and like you mentioned Monty Python. I think all great comedy is some variation on one of these legends.
I enjoyyed reading your post
