Here we will dwell on 2 features of British humour. 1, The term “dry humour“(冷幽默) has been used to describe jokes whose nature——carefully paced, more verbal than physical, and relying on understatement——provides subtle amusement or a wry smile, rather than causing the listener to roll about laughing. It emphasized on the language instead of expressions by action. 2, Another element in British humour is nonsense humour(胡闹式幽默). It is a kind of overstatement(夸张). Far from departing entirely from our existing understanding of things, nonsense humour presents them in an unfamiliar and ridiculous way. It satires language, expectation and humor itself. Not knowing why you are laughing can sometimes be quite funny. Referring to modern British humour, Mr. Bean is the leading exponent. English humour is always surprising; it’s got a lovely twist in the end.? To be self-deprecating, that means to make fun of ourselves. And the subject could be anything. Often it’s things that are not worthy or things that don’t follow the normal trends. ?If something is said to contain British humour, it means there’s another meaning inside the joke or comedy. It’s not what appears on the outside.? I think one of the great things, one of the great traits of Britishness, is that they are able to laugh at almost anything, including themselves. To understand British humour better, we recommend another movie—Bean (憨豆先生的大灾难). It shows British humour in a way that can be understood better.
