US and UK senses of humor are very different. UK's brightest comedy examples include Mr. Bean and Benny Hill. I find little funny about constant bathroom humor. I know they think it's subtle wit only understood by the intelligent, but I beg to differ. US humor is, I find, more situational - funny things happening in normally experienced situations.
I will add, however, Monty Python is hilarious once you adjust your expectations to their style.
