There are so many English language jokes. How could you translate that comedy into other languages? The idiot policeman Crabtree who hilariously mispronounces French, (in English of course) For instance, "Good moaning" and "The German bummers are going to start bumming tonight"
Well that's a long story but in short, all these comedy series are broadcasted English spoken but subtitled in Dutch and we have some really good and witty translators over here. After a while you start picking up the finesses of the language and there you go.
Ever since I was a kid we watched these series like Some Mothers Do Have 'em, Ain't Half Hot Mum, Dad's Army, Porridge, and later we went up a gear with Monty Pythons Flying Circus, Fawlty Towers and the like. And not to mention The Two Ronnie's, The Fast Show, Little Britain (now that was an eyeopener)

and I'm forgetting half of them like Open All Hours, Only Fools And Horses etc... FUNNY!
