Re: British Humor?
Haha, our humour is definitely awesome.
And farts? Man, you can deny it all you want, but they are actually hilarious. And so is Monty Python.
I love the humour in Fable 2, especially with the gargoyles - they always made me laugh. I felt guilty when I destroyed the last one; no more little Scottish voices insulting me :'(

Think...
Monty Python and the Knights of the Holy Grail.
Life of Brian.
Some of the best of Monty Python work ever. Never truly gets old.
I can imagine bandits with their legs chopped off saying: "Oh running away now are ye? CHICKEN! I'll bite your legs OFF!"

Re: British Humor?
The humour in fable 2 rules ! Mainly because it IS very British and I love it ^^ mainly because i am british but oh well >_< sometimes games can be way too serious and have american humour (i don't find it that funny) but fable is something different and unique

Re: British Humor?
I still sob with laughter at that part in the film.
"Alright, we'll call it a draw!"

Re: British Humor?
I love most of the humor in fable! there are 1 or 2 things I don't get on each game, but mostly it's great!

Re: British Humor?
british humour. watch monty python, maybe faulty towers (which is a bit slapstick), then make scathing remarks for extra fun. and *Tut Tut Tut* a lot (although that is more posh than necessary)

I enjoy the "Monty Python" series, "The Benny Hill Show", and the British sitcom, "Last of the Summer Wine."
However, I did NOT like the majority of the 'humor' in Fable II.
People have said that Fable II is a game that does not take itself seriously; to me, that's a flaw, not something to celebrate.
I thoroughly enjoyed the original Fable; it had a great storyline, and some upbeat, FUNNY humor in it. For the most part, it took itself quite seriously and made the player feel important.
Fast forward to Fable II...
When I first started playing Fable II, I thought it was going to be an in-depth tale of Sparrow's vengeance, his righteous assault on Lucien and his cronies enhanced with legendary weapons and armor.
Not even close.
The first thing I would have been angered by is that no armor existed in Fable II, but I had been forewarned, so I didn't mind it so much. What did bother me was the comical descriptions of the starting weapons and of other items.
As I played through the story, I realized that most of the game was a joke. I loved the main storyline, but everything else seemed to be a mere caricature of Fable I.
My main point is, I like FUNNY humor. I like hilarity. I like side-splitting comedy. Fable II's brand of 'humor' just wasn't funny.
I don't know if they expected people to be laughing at the game or what, but even if they did, that's not a very good bar to set.
or for something more recent http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAG39jKi0lI
Items descriptions and all those other bits of text that nearly nobody reads is one of the few places they can put humour into a game, although it would probably have worked better if only, say, a quarter of the items had funny descriptions
It has nothing to do with being British. It's a game, and its a fantasy based where things get exaggerated and
the world is a silly story, hence the name Fable.
Honestly, I wonder how you can talk about Fables' low sense of humor, when your idea of humor
is beavis and butthead.
Yeah, it might not be outrageously funny, or even funny at all, but I do enjoy the silly accents.

WarpedHero, I hope you noticed that you revived a thread from beginning of last september. There are three months, and some days between in. =O Someone that joined back in 2008 should know that's not the best thing to do, right?
Still, if you're going to say that the first Fable's humor was better than that of Fable 2, I'd like you to explain why, rather than just saying it.
I for one didn't notice much of a difference in humor in all three of the games. To me, it had all its ups and downs. Somethings were hilarious, and some things not.

Actually its called Fable becaus most of the actions have consequences. Its a reference to Aesops Fables, where every story had a moral.
It's not so much British humour, as humour made by British people.
This is great British humour.
Carl Barron is pretty good, but my favourite Australian comedians are Hamish & Andy and Akmal Saleh (especially when he's on Good News Week).
TBH though, all my favourite comedians are international ones. Ross Noble, Dylan Moran, Stephen K Amos and Arj Barker are probably top of the list.

It wouldn't BE British humour if you understood it all - sometimes that's the point. Try watching The Mighty Boosh. It's absolutely hilarious, but sometimes you find yourself thinking "What the **** is going on??".
I'm English and don't understand a lot of the humour in Fable, and although it is often tongue-in-cheek or sarcastic, it's not all classic British style.
