Used to describe
something that is not funny, but to indicate that you should pretend that it is so "
intellectual" pricks will not deride you as an uncultured, ignorant
dolt.
Man is struck in the face with a
bat.
Arrogant
prick: "OH, HAHAHA, everybody look how funny I think that is!"
Friend: "How can you laugh at that? That'
s horrible. You
don't even sound like you really like it anyway."
Arrogant
prick: "It's British humor you ignorant, uncultured dolt! It requires a higher intelligence than you possess to appreciate"
Sheeple: "Oh, it's British humor! I think it's funny too! HAHAHAHA! I'm so glad I'm not an ignorant, uncultured dolt like that guy. HAHAHAHA"
*Looks around to make sure everyone sees him laughing.*
