There's no answer. British comedy is generally funnier to British people, American comedy is generally funnier to American people. Our tastes are influenced by our respective cultures which are divergent.
And no British comedy is not inherently more intellectual. I saw a Dr. Who episode in which a guy is eaten by a living trash can that burps after swallowing him.
Im from non of the two countries mentioned. But the American comedian i do not know who he is. And Mr. bean is a legend, even my country comedian did not took away my childhood like he did.
I always feel like American comedians/shows make a lot of sexual jokes which can be funny but sometimes its like jokes from a 13 year old, I usually prefer more "sophisticated" humor (sorry I couldn't find a fitting word but you get what I mean)
By those pics the British is more funny but generally I find American more funnier
Nothing beats British comedy to me. *completely biased Londoner here*
I like all the subtle jokes in the comedy rom-coms, good ol' 80s

Television shows, British is funnier. For example, The Office, Fawlty Towers, Bluestone 42, Coupling etc.
Stand up comedians on stage, Americans aren't the best but I prefer them to British stand ups that I've seen.
too much different, rowan Atkinson is not my humor but I like the monty pythons... seinfeld is the bomb but I know also things they I not like...
problem here is, all above is my fav comedian Dave Chappelle
It depends based on specific comedians. Some British comics are more funny, and some American ones are more funny.
Apples and oranges, completely different styles.
And there are very different styles within both, they overlap hugely.
It depends on the individual.
Both Dave Chappelle and John Oliver are really good.
Doesn't matter as long as they have funny jokes. It's not a competition.
Well when people compare the worst American Comedy with the Best British Comedy, obviously British is going to come out on top.
Americans as a generalization, lack subtly and wit in their humour I find.
American humor is better because they are sexual yet corny in a way. Like David cross, Eddie griffin, Kevin hart etc
Obviously British. American comedians are as funny as an ingrown toenail
neither of your examples are funny
British people aren't funny
Sry not sry
I always found the British comedians funnier.
American comedians rule the world!
it depends on the individual comedian.
I voted British since American comedy is garbage.

British r gentle
British humour best humour
it depends on their talent
