I may have enjoyed this comedy series if it weren't for the canned laughter. I couldn't watch more than a few minutes. IMDb requires ten lines of text in order to submit a review, so...Please excuse me for writing continuing to write when I really have no more to say about the series. If the producers would remove the canned laughter, I think I would enjoy this particular comedy series.I just couldn't get past the canned laughter. British humor can be hilarious. I regret that I couldn't stand to watch this particular series. I hope I can now end this and post my review. IMDb also requires ten. Lines. Of. Text. In. Order. To. Review.

The cult duo are back with a new series on a new continent. Little Britain USA could very well surpass the original series, which was fairly hit and miss. Most of the best characters are back and most of the new ones are great too. (The astronaut was a little weak, but I'll give it time.) The couple of 40 years who are completely miserable is probably my favorite. The humor is outrageous if a little gross, but so was the original. It seems like 'USA' has reached a higher quality of comedy. This is a truly hilarious series and a joy for fans of these guys. If you hate them I can't guarantee this show will change your mind, but I think it's very well done.Unfortunately it's already been cancelled. And Americans think Friends is good comedy...

Before I'd seen my first episode of "Little Britain USA", I'd talked to some British friend about the series. While we all agreed that we liked the original series, they told me not to even bother with the newest Americanized version--it just wasn't funny. Well, I got HBO a few months later and watched this new series with feelings of great dread...and found that I really liked the show...about as much as the original. Sure, some of my favorite characters are gone (such as Daffyd), but many of the old ones (such as the evil fatty-hater, Marjorie as well as the Prime Minister's assistant--who is now the Prime Minister himself!). One other inclusion from the original shows that I was thrilled was present were Tom Baker's inane narration--it was perhaps even more stupid (and funny) than before. My only reservation is exactly the same one I had about the original all-British shows--there is an awful lot of repetition and a few more characters would have been appreciated. Still, all these shows make me laugh...a lot!

Little Britain: 1. Take a dozen jokes, about a third of which are actually funny, make each joke into a sketch. 2. Repeat the exact same joke in each episode, but with a minor variation. Instead of Lou and Andy spouting their catchphrases in their living room, they're now doing it in a supermarket!!!!!! Hilarious! 3. Do this so much that even the sketches that were slightly amusing soon become tired and repetitive to anyone whose idea of comedy isn't just endless catchphrases. 4. Enjoy unfathomable success.Little Britian USA: 1. Repeat steps 1-3 above, but this time set everything in the States because an American audience won't understand it otherwise. 2. Chuck out any jokes that aren't about penises. 3. Add an irritating canned laughter track. 4. Put a few more penis jokes in for good measure. They're just soooo witty. 5. Hopefully bomb and be banned from our screens forever.
