Do britbongs not know that ameicans don't give even a tiny little rat fuck about other countries' opinions? The only imports we actually care about are funny accents and goofy names. So if you don't sound obnoxiously british like this asshole, or have a tear inducingly absurd name like the Cum in her snatch guy, then get the hell out.

I barely know who they are either since I could only name one of them.

When it comes to talk shows there's tons of americans on Uk television as well.

This is why London has fallen and Churchill is spinning in his grave.

Also, what is it with you limeys and your obsession with fame? "Oy, John Oliver is barely known here." Who gives a shit? So what if he hasn't appeared on one of your dozens of low budget panel shows or some reality series? He built a strong career here.

All I remember is one of those comedians who shouts an opinion in a sarcastic voice and demands that you laugh at his wit.

The Americans are welcome to him.
>>
>>80165558
Let me clarify a misconception I keep seeing in this thread. I'm an American (burger, if you like). I don't dislike John Oliver because he criticizes my country, I criticize him because he isn't verry funny. He makes the same points over and over. His points are unoriginal, he just copies whatever is popular with his audience (leftist liberals) at the time.
>>
>>80166013
There's a Canadian comedienne who delighted in calling people racists for voting for Brexit. Half of today's comedy is preaching to the converted, nothing more.
>>
>>80167298

this, and i'm saying that as a brit.

bill hicks was funny and he criticised america, he was just interesting and original about it and didn't just function as an echo chamber.

stewart lee's funny and he criticises the uk, again without just being an echo chamber.

plus, criticising the US or UK government or current social trends or certain aspects of society isn't the same as being anti-US or anti-UK, it's just having a more nuanced view than 'My country, right or wrong'.
>>
>>80165558
He had a role on The Daily Show, which was really popular here at one point. A lot of actors/comedians, like Steve Carrell and Stephen Colbert, got their start working for the Daily Show.
>>
>>80165558
His humour is terrible but at least he doesn't let the audience howl at every joke for minutes like Colbert.

There's more opportunities in America for a TV personality, so there's incentive to leave the UK for America, but none to leave America for the UK.

>>80169280
Yeah they do. Like Reginald Hunter. Currently we have to deal with a fucking annoying Canadian bitch with massive teeth on every goddamn panel show.

John Oliver & James Gordon are literally the only brit I've heard of making it big in the US. And James Gordon was massive here to begin with, unlike Oliver who was a literally who.

Because of the liberal belief that liking America makes you delusional and jingoistic and hating America makes you insightful and sophisticated. Or to put it in /tv/ terms:

>Liking America - Pleb
>Hating America - Patrician
>>
>>80169380
Well yeah they do, but certainly not to the same volume that British personalities go to America. I was actually thinking of actors in general, not just comedians.

You have to be funny to make it on the UK panel shows
On the US ones you can just scream and make excited hand motions and people will assume youre funny

Why do you think Americans need to justify their shitty tv personalities based on how popular they are in your country? We can make any shitty person popular. We don't need you to justify it, limey fuck.
