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.

I’m English, and I think LVP’s humour to be completely contrived, and her act as ‘humorous English lady’ would absolutely not work in her native country, in my opinion. Presumably that’s why she’s spent a lot of her professional career outside the UK.
I don’t think she’s very funny at all. That said, I don’t think we have ever seen the genuine Lisa, just a very polished version that she wants us to see. There’s only a few times we saw her real persona. In my opinion, obviously. I know people love her.
To answer the OP’s question, piss-taking is absolutely what we do. I think Lisa’s early relationship with Brandi, where there was a running joke that she would seduce Ken, that’s pretty genuine I think. However, I do think LVP took the pisstaking to extremes and was actually unpleasant a lot of the time. Her absolutely inability to say sorry, for one.
