As a Brit living abroad I have found that the British sense of humour is also particularly dark...if a situation is going badly or terrible things happen I think we use humour as a coping mechanism. We're always the first to make apparently inappropriate jokes...or ones that come into the category "too soon"...that people of other nationalities often just don't find funny!

I have a good example of British humor. I heard a story on the radio told by an American who was kidnapped and thrown into the trunk of a car where a British man had already been kidnapped. The American said, "It's pretty cramped in here." The British man replied, "It wasn't too bad until you showed up."

I’m an autistic American, I’ve ended up with very “British” humor I’ve been told because I often say things seriously and people take it as a deadpan joke. Most of the time it’s on purpose (it didn’t use to be) because I’m good at it I found but there’s still times people start laughing and I don’t know what I said. Example, I was at dinner with friends late at night, my friend said they had to get up at 7am and I immediately said “you need to leave!!” I was genuinely concerned for my friend, everyone started laughing, I realized it was slightly rude but so abrupt that it seemed like a joke. People say I seem very British, they ask if I have British family. I’m just on the spectrum lol.

I'm a Latina and my British husband used to and still have problems catching jokes from my family but also my mom and family can't understand his humour. I'm used to it after almost 20 years together. I loved this video 💖.
He tends to have that kind of wit and dry humour, that's why..even our daughters think twice before believing in what's his saying hahahaha.

There was a hair salon in a small town in Michigan that we drove through to get to the lake cabin or to relative's houses. It was called "Curl Up and Dye." We thought that this was hysterical as school-aged and teenaged young people. I found out later that it was right across the street from the town's funeral home.

Your funeral story reminded me when my grandmother passed away. We were with her an hour later waiting for the corner to come by and pronounce her dead. The corner announced himself and what he was going to do and while he was listening to her heart with a stethoscope my father, her son, says to the corner "we've been here an hour and she hasn't said a word"
