Throw in The League of Gentlemen, The IT Crowd, Open All Hours, Blackadder, Red Dwarf and any Tory Party conference, and you will see just how amusing the Brits can be.
One of the foremost sketch shows of the naughties was Little Britain, in which Matt Lucas and David Walliams presented us with a range of parodies that delighted and appalled.

The series was critically acclaimed and rightfully so.
