The British are very good at making comedy programmes:
Jay Doubleyou: what 'the office' can teach you about how to do business
Jay Doubleyou: political satire on film
All My Friends Hate Me (Official UK Trailer) - in cinemas 10 June | BFI - YouTube
All My Friends Hate Me Clip - in cinemas 10 June 2022 | BFI - YouTube
British institutions can make fun of themselves:
Jay Doubleyou: the royals have a sense of humour
And:
Jay Doubleyou: to be or not to be: the intonation is the question
Shakespeare Live! From the RSC on Vimeo
Jay Doubleyou: to be or not to be: to write a book about shakespeare... or not

Jay Doubleyou: there is no such thing as 'national humour'
