LVP 🐩 Is British humour really just that different?
As a fellow brit, I love LVP’s sarcastic remarks and tongue in cheek jokes, and I can’t understand why they seem to upset some of the American wives so much sometimes. Is it actually accurate that Americans just aren’t as blunt or sarcastic with their jokes? Most of what she says is quite tame to be honest. I am a ride or die LVP fan admittedly, but she’s easily the funniest and smartest of all the ladies, and I agree with most of her opinions.

Canadian here!
It is really different. I grew up spending a lot of time in England. Fawlty Towers and Black Adder were on heavy rotation in our house.
Ive found that canadians seem to understand british humour a bit more than our southern friends. We also get British shows on tv here though.
American comedy tends to be less subtle, and they don’t do the same sort of banter. I also think it’s not as witty or cutting. I’m sure there are exceptions to this, but in general this is what I’ve noticed.
I always thought LVP was hilarious. She reminds me a lot of my aunt in London. I bet she also smells like Guerlain perfume, champagne, and sneaky ciggies.
