Epitome of British humor?

Maybe "epitome" isn't the right word, but in any case I think this video aptly demonstrates British humor: deadpan, ironic, and self-deprecating. I like a number of BBC series and hope to write a decent post about each of them, but at the late I'm going I seem to make a lot of these "I hope..." statements without fulfilling any. Hm. I have to work on that.



Some BBC series I like: Coupling, Skins, The IT Crowd, The Mighty Boosh. I've seen bits of Doctor Who, A Bit of Frye and Laurie and Prime Suspect but haven't gotten suckered into them as much as the five aforementioned series.
