All satirical TV series which savagely take the piss out of British institutions; politicians & Parliament, royalty, big business, celebrity, media, and even religion. All feature British comedians*.
One thing we're reputed for: our healthy British sense of irony, cynicism and self-criticism. Ah, but then that's one thing you US right-wing fundies have no concept of: Irony.
'They really do have an irony deficiency. I honestly believe that in certain parts of America now, people have started to mate with vegetables.'
-Jeremy Clarkson, "Top Gear"
*- Okay, so Dave Allen, and Dara O'Briain are Irish, but they live(d) here, and criticise Eire too - especially Irish Catholicism (none more so than the late great Dave Allen).
