Recently got myself the entire Jeeves&Wooster collection, great stuff. Although the short story volumes are a bit mediocre. And it's pretty much the same story in every book. Still highly enjoyable though

Had to read Code of the Woosters in 11th grade.

Thoroughly unenjoyable and unfunny, but vastly preferable to the dense shit all the other Brit Lit classes had to read.

Americans are incapable of detecting humour in something without sex jokes, toilet humour or a laugh track.
This is what your comedians sound like:

"The other day I fucked this chick so hard (with my circumcised penis) a goddamn towel came outta her ass!"
>laugh track
>diabetes-stricken mutt audience guffaw obediently
"Whaddaya know, she sure sounds like a catch!"
"You're telling me, I laughed so hard Bud Light came out my nose!"
>pavlovian laughter
>20% of audience have heart attacks
"So what didya do?"
"Shucks, you know me - I needed something to clean up all the lube anyway!"
>mention of smut prompts infantile laughter
"I guess that's why they call me...Greaseball Joe."
>catchphrase initiated
>thousands of admixtured jaws unhinge in one great collective howl

how? i know we hate fun as a board, but wodehouse is hardly objectionable. even making broadcasts for the nazis didn't make him objectionable because what else is one to do when the gestapo asks you nicely?

As opposed to the British...
"I rather fancy a shit, Jeeves. If you would be so kind as to escort me to the privy."
"Pardon me sir, but this hardly seems an appropriate time to go stooling about."
"Oh? And what do you propose is the optimal hour at which to drop brown, Jeeves?"
"Poo-turdy BM, sir."

I like the audio books I have of the Wooster and Jeeves series. The reader is great at bouncing from the goofiness of Bertie to the elegant formalness of Jeeves,and to the odd assortment of supporting characters tossed in the mad salad of a situation.
