British humour
British humour was shaped by the relative stability of British society, and carries a strong element of satire aimed at "the absurdity of everyday life". Themes include the class system and sexual taboos; common techniques include puns, innuendo and intellectual jokes.
A strong theme of sarcasm and self-deprecation, often with deadpan delivery, runs throughout British humour.〔(British humour 'dictated by genetics' ) By Andy Bloxham, ''Daily Telegraph'', 10 Mar 2008. Accessed August 2011〕 Humour may be used to bury emotions in a way that seems insensitive to other cultures.〔(What are you laughing at? ) Simon Pegg The Guardian, 10 February 2007. Accessed August 2011〕 Jokes are told about everything and almost no subject is taboo, though often a lack of subtlety when discussing controversial issues is considered crass.〔(The Funny Side of the United Kingdom: Analysing British Humour with Special Regard to John Cleese and His Work ) Page 5 Theo Tebbe, Publisher GRIN Verlag, 2008 ISBN 3-640-17217-5. Accessed August 2011〕 Many UK comedy TV shows typical of British humour have been internationally popular, and have been an important channel for the export and representation of British culture to the international audience.

In an interview published in 2015 by ''The Guardian'' (A British newspaper), Eddie Izzard, a British comedian, declared that: “There is no ‘British’ humour. It is only the references that are specific … you don’t need to nationalise it.” Eddie further states: "A joke may be “built in British”, but that doesn’t mean the comedy hinges on anything inherently “British.” 〔http://www.theguardian.com/education/2015/feb/05/eddie-izzard-force-majeure-tour-paris〕
