Besides, compared with American jokes which are more obvious and direct , the British ones with the hidden meaning tend not to be apparent. It’s due to the fact that British culture is more reserved than that of the Americans. Nowadays, some American comedies have gained huge success in Britain and vice versa. Therefore, although there are differences between both comic styles, there is still an appreciation and understanding of the other sense of humour. 我们知道，英式幽默和美式幽默的最常见的区别就是：英国人每天都使用反语，而美国人 不用。

而且，同美国的直接明了的笑话相比，英国的带隐含意义的笑话不是很明显这是 基于英国文化更保守这个事实现在一些美国喜剧在英国取得了巨大成功，反之亦然，尽 管两种喜剧风格有区别，但都还是有欣赏和理解对方的幽默感的地方。
