British Humor?

British Humor is featured in Fable, because it is British-made (I guess you can say), and because PM is British.

Now, being the person I am (unemotional, sadistic, pessimistic, etc...), I do not find it funny all the time. For example, flatulating in someone's face; ??? I do not find the humor in it, and not even the slightest giggle in me. I never use that expression anyway.

The only way to make me laugh, has to be stupid stuff. Beavis and Butthead.. random school people.

Do you think British Humor is funny?

Re: British Humor?

Farting in someone's face isn't typical for British humour. It's more Canadian. British humour is much more sophisticated.

Re: British Humor?

I love most of British Humor, and laugh at many comments made in the game and on gravestones, and items, etc. However, the expression you mentioned never made me laugh either :/ I always thought it was weird. But I always figured it was because I am a 'girly girl' as many of my friends put it, and so am put off by that action, along with the belching :/

Re: British Humor?

Yap.
I think it's great.
But farting in someones face is not funny for me.
It's just dumb.
And especially part when they don't do anything about it.
I would kick hell out of person who farted in my face!

Re: British Humor?

As what Stranger and Tsuyu have posted, British humour is more sardonic and subtle than that. At times it can be really juvenile though, but it varies.

Re: British Humor?

I only intend to use the farting expression on children. I'm sure I still cant kill them so I do whatever evil I can to make their life more traumatic and meaningless.

Oooh... sorry guys. I didn't mean to say British Humor was BAD, besides I notice some things funny in the games.

That is why I like Fable, it is humor-ful, cool, and simple.

Re: British Humor?

I think it's pretty humorous to run up and fart in someone's face. The action itself isn't all that funny but their reaction certainly is.

British humor is second best humor.

Indeed.

Someone said that the humour was a lot like Monty Python, and Lionhead wanted to further this by recruiting John Cleese as a voice actor for the game. As for whether or not I like it, well, sometimes. I'm weird so I can't serve as a gauge to any degree of accuracy, but most humour is lost on me, foreign and domestic.
In American humour is spelled without the "u". I don't know if you didn't know that, or if you're insisting that he get criticised by his fellow Americans by spelling it the "wrong way".

Honestly I don't think Brit Hume is funny. He's always so serious.

Oh ho, I am only joking. I do think "British humour" is funny, but I'm afraid that L.H. may try too hard to make the jokes seem "British" rather than just being their normal selves. It may seem kind of awkward.

Re: British Humor?

You people are totally crazy, man. Farting in people's faces is amazingly good fun every now and then, and now they tell me I can fart in other player's faces as well! The methods of online unrest keep getting better and better; from teabagging in Halo to blasting a nasty one in your buddy's face in Fable 3. :D

Re: British Humor?

Sorry, but it's fairly idiotic that you think that's actually how British humour is. Like someone else said, British humour is alot more sophisticated than that. Besides, if you farted in someones face here, you'd get stabbed. Probably.

Black humor. No, I'm not talking about black jokes. There's a link below that will take you to the Wikipedia article describing what it is.

Re: British Humor?

Yeah farting in someone's face is defiantly not British humour. British humour is awesome. I've played games with unfunny American humour way too much; sure American humour can be funny but generally I find British humour way more entertaining.

Nothing can beat sarcasm and irony, not even if your farts had an English accent.

Re: British Humor?

i think it's a bit more complicated than just farting in someones face. when you put it that way it doesn't sound very standard at all.
it heavily depends on
A) the person being farted upon
B) the person farting
C) each of their respective positions
D) the circumstances
E) the stench
and
F) the noise (if any) produced

each of these factors need to carry a certain balance and factor together mathematically in order to produce a certain degree of humor.

putting something as sophisticated as a fart joke so bluntly is quite insulting.

All of which is summed up in this simple equation:

I did the math and you sir are incorrect. Farts are not funny.
