Okay, this is driving me nuts. all of you English, Irish, Aussies and Americans battleing out when you forgot about SCOTLAND! It's always the Americans that get all the attention, not us, nooooo it's always England. AND I am so frustrated with being 2nd, 3rd whatever we are. The American dude that wrote his life story had the right idea and I congratualte him on his success. Ok England isn't all that bad, I mean they have lot's of theme parks, they have canals (only saying that cause I went on holiday for a week on a canal boat). Oh yeah one more thing I do not hate the English at the World Cup, it's just that they're too... well... strange? To tell the truth, so are we with some of our accents. But who cares, we like our accents. So let's just carry on as it is. Everybody keep slagging everybody's accents, I don't give a care. So foo's your doo's (how you doing) aye chavin awa chavin awa (i'm doinhg fine). So if your English, Irish, American, Australian or whatever remeber to say foo's your doo's to someone and say what they say. One more thing please say foo's your doos and chavin awa in a Scottish accent or you sound really stupid. Ok I better be going so cheerio or tata.

Ok, please ignore the misinformed dude Brian from California. This dude has some serious problems. Really the UK is like our best ally and your comedy is pretty darn hilarious. This is the view of one very angry and very... I'm not sure. But the stuff about Cali is true though... it's a way chill place. Anyway I apoligize to all for this disturbed man. Sorry a bit off topic but I do say that of these clips it a close one from the Aussies and Brits and for the American clips I have seen better... a lot better.

BMW has jack on TVR. The point of British humour is it's sarcastic, sublime, satirical and incredibly funny. Americans, however, don't like comedy if they have to THINK what the joke is. Americans hate our commedy cuz they a) don't get it and b) don't want to THINK. Satire and sarcasm siempre fie.

Brian, whom I'm assuming is (tit). Did you read wot I said? I disapproved wot u said about being better, get over yourself, we are all the same, we are as bad as each other. Now go and watch the World Cup,and chill out. Americans are not that bad at football, considering no one in America has even heard of the sport. Chill out mate, be a bit more like an Aussie!

Oh my god Brian you really can't take losing can you, it's so true Americans can't take irony, that's exactly why you didn't like the British comedy clips.

I loved the Aussie James Blunt clip, from Australia. If you liked that look on the Internet for the BBC Dead Ringers video imitation clip of the James Blunt music video of You're Beautiful, it's the funniest thing I've ever seen.

Whoever said they can't watch Keeping Up Apperances because British humour is s***, well no one in England has either, it hasn't been on TV for years, also if you're going to show British comedy why did you have to show the map one, I've never even heard about this comedian in England, I thought he was an actor from Shaun of the Dead anyway? Peter Kay is brilliant, it's a shame they didn't show a better clip, and wot happened to Billy Connolly?

Hey, no wonder every other nation in the world hates America, your telling us Brits to stop saying that we are the best, well Brian from California you backed fired on yourself when you started listing all of the American achievements, oh yes how did being fat constitute as one? Oh yes also, the American Revolution, many Americans fought on the English side with the English, and these English troops many who I would have thought would have stayed in America and lived there, so really if you are still really bitter about it for some weird reason even though you won, blame yourselves for feeling this way. Also we smell very nice and have good teeth, you've obviously watched too many hollywood movies. Also the only reason why your women look hotter is because they have been airbrushed on TV. Oh yes in case you hadn't noticed, football was created by England and every country in the world plays it, and about a 6th of the world population will watch the World Cup on TV alone, it is not prissy so you just insulted the whole world there, heck for goodness sake that game of football you play with helmets and shinpads, we call that rugby and we wear no sheilding stuff, and do u see us bragging about it? The next time you start picking on Britain who I might add is one of your best allies, have a valid reason for it and back up your opinions, otherwise your argument will be turn to shreads. This comment is not directed at the Americans as a whole but the misinformed ones like Brian, we love your country, we love your people, give your allies some respect for once in a while, otherwise you'll have no mates left. I would advise you to chill and go and watch the World Cup! Love you really. I just hate it when people insult England for no reason. By the way I have many American friends and they don't understand why people like you are so mean.

"we are bigger, fatter, richer, tougher, smarter, faster, our women are MUCH hotter, our teeth are cleaner". "I just can't stand people trying to make it seem like they are the best at something". HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.

Guest: Brian from California (806 days ago)
Ummm... you Brits obviously got your "knickers" in a bunch because your lame excuse for a country can't seem to ever measure up to anything the Americans can do. Face it, we are bigger, fatter, richer, tougher, smarter, faster, our women are MUCH hotter, our teeth are cleaner, we smell better, our cars... well suck (go BMW), and we could crap out better comedy than any Brit. And no one here likes soccer or futbol or whatever you call it sooo go be proud about that lame excuse of a sport and be content with your pitiful existence. Oh and the Aussies are better than you too. Don't take it too personal. This post won't even make it to the page sooo I'm not sure why I'm writing it. I really don't have anything against the Brits. I just can't stand people trying to make it seem like they are the best at something, taking cheap shots at someone or something that could easily crush them. Like Britian claiming they are better than the US or that we have no sense of humour. Its just sad really that you think that... so I am writting out of sheer frustrastion on why you would ever say that. You may hate us because of the biased crap you hear and see on the news, but please don't be so ignorant to think that any sizable part of our population is like that. Ya know what... I actually love your comedy. Monty Python is one of my favorites, even if I don't get all of the jokes. And ya know what else... I would love to travel to Britian some day and trace my distant relatives. They came over before the American Revolution. I think your culture is very interesting, and every foriegn exchange student that I have crossed paths with from Britian, I have gotten along with very well. Heck, my favorite professor in High School was from England. So really you do have a lot to offer, but don't go around trying to puff yourself up or put others down. It's just ignorate. And if you should come visit, make sure to come to California. It's a huge state with tons of attractions like snowboarding or wakeboarding or surfing or Yosemite or San Fransisco or LA or the Sequoia Red Wood Trees (really really really big trees) and the list really goes on and on. So yeah I apologize for my previous comments. They were words of anger and I didn't mean it. Come visit some time and I hope you all do well in the World Cup, because the US really sucks at soccer. Ok well I need to go now so yeah... no hard feelings and I hope I made some sense in opening your world of us "Yanks".

imo Aussie was crap, it just wasn't funny at all, the bank robbery one was quite funny. Americans come second, Bill Hicks was funny but the Brits win hands down, they are always the best for comedy (they could have chosen a better Peter Kay clip). By the way, LOL @ the idiot that said he's not british he's english, that's like someone saying they are Californian not American.

Info: A group of soldiers from the Royal Dragoon Guards serving in Iraq jokingly filmed a version of the video for the hit song (Is This The Way To) Amarillo?.

It is a funny rip-off of the track re-released last year for Comic Relief with the comedian Peter Kay miming to Tony Christie's 1971 song.

Staff Sergeant Roger Parr, 34 (as Peter Kay lookalike), teamed up with colleagues from the Royal Tank Regiment to shoot the home video at their base in al-Faw before e-mailing it back to army friends in London.

The video proved so popular at the MoD that it crashed its server because each download of the original movie took up 52 megabytes - causing an overload on the Army's e-mail system. (The version shown here on Bore Me is a smaller file size).

Far from being angry, the military have congratulated Sergeant Parr for his morale-boosting initiative.
