Funny British People
These funny British people are keeping us entertained. Here’s an unabashed plea to get you to watch Peep Show (it’s what we’ll be doing this weekend). You can watch all the episodes for free on Google video.

The 25 Funniest People In America
Culture Buzz Entertainment Weekly bestowed the title upon 25 funny fellas and ladies. Although most faces are familiar, some may surprise you. Sorry, Boosler, maybe next year...
-
Mitchell And Webb
Culture Buzz Their sketch show on the BBC, That Mitchell And Webb Look, have earned them hardcore fans on both sides of the pond. Monty Python has found a welcome replacement in the cleverly absurd blokes who, incidentally, also star in the UK version of the Mac-vs.-PC ads. Bloody brilliant! (Also be sure to check out Peep Show, another Mitchell and Webb show we highly recommend.)

Hamlet 2
Movie Buzz British comedic chameleon Steve Coogan's movie comes out on top at Sundance, garners buzz and investors. With the rising success of quirky comedic actors like Michael Cera, all Coogan needs to do is steer clear of Carlos Mencia and he could very well become the second funniest person in America.

Peep Show
TV Buzz Hilarious UK comedy show about two wacky roommates has a new DVD boxset out. It's like an unabashedly ribald Perfect Strangers with more squirmy social awkwardness than The Office. Oh yeah, and my friends say it's awesome so you should watch it.
-
The Mighty Boosh
TV Buzz The British comedy show about two best friends and their magical adventures. It's basically like Flight of the Conchords but British, and on some kind of weird acid trip. It almost sounds too good to be true.
-
Steve Coogan
Celebrity Buzz Courtney Love is blaming Steve Coogan, a British comedian, for Owen Wilson's recent troubles. It's kind of a morbid way to be recognized for your comedic talents. But hopefully all this media attention will lead more people to appreciate Saxondale (the BBC show Steve Coogan writes and stars in) for all its brilliance.

Chris Morris
TV Buzz Edgy British satirist will make a suicide bomber comedy. Ugh, isn't it annoying how we never find out about British comics until after the fact (i.e. Ricky Gervais, Sacha Baron Cohen)? We wanted to stay ahead of the curve before Chris Morris explodes onto the American scene with a spoof on 9/11. Check out these clips of Chris Morris' brand of fake news and see what you think.
