In Poland, the British comedy “keeping up appearances” is very popular for some reason. When I moved to the UK I was surprised it’s almost unknown here for anyone under the age of 60.
- mbg721 4y agoIt was unusually popular in the US in the 90s because it was shown on the public educational TV network, along with "Are You Being Served?". Because low-brow jokes about Mrs. Slocombe's naughty bits are highly intelligent and sophisticated as long as the accent is British.

What 'naughty bits', all I rememeber are joks abut her pussy. And, for any non-English, or ESL-speakers, 'it' is ithe funniest word in the English language. For any English speakers (mother tongue etc) - prove me wrong. You'll notice, the more you try, the harder it gets.
- mbg721 4y agoFine, but it's a little jarring to go from Sesame Street to documentaries about Roman coins to "I apologize for being late, Captain Peacock, it was raining and I just had to stroke my wet and sensitive pussy. (laugh track gap)" (Not going to object to "it"--I suspect you may be right.)
