weird british humor

It is not recommended for viewers who are new to British dramas to watch, it will cause a burden on your understanding of British dramas in the future.


I've heard the name of coupling for a long time, but I haven't watched it because of resolution and resources. Finally gnawed him this summer.

Originally I watched it purely as a dessert after a meal. I practiced my listening skills and became familiar with British English. Indeed, I laughed and burst into tears every episode. But I feel so tired.

I have followed skins, spy, hustle, silk, babylon hotel, merlin, downtown abby, the Whitechapel murder, new Sherlock Holmes, the almighty butler, the prime minister, etc. I don't think I am a very experienced fan of British dramas. I took a few glances, but almost none of them could end well in my hands. . .

The reason is the cultural differences between China and the UK, as well as the brilliance of BBC screenwriters. Every line of every actor is worth scrutinizing the deep meaning or metaphor behind it, or borrowing or thinking about the echoes of the above, so that people can't watch it less relaxedly when watching a play, and can't treat a TV series as a Recreation forces people to think.

While watching the first season, I could still laugh along with the plot, but after the second season, I could hardly watch two episodes in a row. The connotation of the plot in just 30 minutes made me a little indigested, thinking about it and laughing When I clicked, I was overwhelmed by the reality behind the joke.

I'm a person who can adjust my laughs, especially cold jokes, but I can't keep up with his rhythm when it comes to British humor, especially when British humor is related to implicit sexual culture (or sexual culture). Just part of British humour?), my brain collapsed and I couldn't laugh. . . In the end, I can only sigh that the British jokes are really weird! ! !

For coupling, if you watch it too seriously, you will lose; if you just watch it casually, the drama will be wasted.

Now the only thing this show does for me is to practice listening. . . By the way, it's just a collection of oral vocabulary. . . As for his content, I really don't want to get into it. . .
