    30 Rock and Lebowski ? We might not be in the majority but you're not on your own, honest.
    Keep meaning to check out Veep. Parks And Recreation too.

    I dated a very smart, arty type some years ago and when I suggested checking out the up and coming stand-ups at a local club she declined saying "I don't get comedy".
    One of the biggest laughs of the night was watching one of Eastenders trying to master the tricky manoeuvre of walking in a straight line to and through an open doorway. Though to be fair, it was Stupid O'Clock.

    If I have to Google it - then it can't be that important (to me at least)!

    Yeah, I don't bother learning about anything that isn't important to me neither. BTW, what's a Google?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    You probably aren't missing much as they are all American comedy shows, and I know you're a bit closed-off in that department Bit like me not liking Rammstein, having never heard them What are Rammstein? Are they German? I don't like German music, all that funny shorts and thigh slapping puts me off

    Haha - 'closed off' is probably true, simply because since 'Cheers', I haven't found one I've considered as remotely funny.

    However, I have rather specific tastes with comedy, and so what makes me laugh [generally outré/off-the-wall material, think League of Gentlemen, Little Britain or Fonejacker, as a rough guide, or most things Scottish], which is almost always the opposite of what American's laugh at, or those (perhaps such as your good self) who are 'tuned into' that type of humour

    That said, I'm always open to being introduced to something new, in terms of comedy (American or otherwise), which is purported to be funny. In general though, sitcoms don't do it for me, although I've no idea whether those you've mentioned above are such or not.
