Let me just preface this post by stating that I fell in love with Little Britain after spending some time in the UK and catching the show. There were a few cultural references that went over my head being that I'm an American, but I still loved the odd and obscene humor that it boasted.

After returning to the US, I wondered and secretly hoped that we would get our own taste of Little Britain with vibrant and familiar references to boot. Sure, watching the original on DVD was entertaining, but I kept thinking of characters they could build with influence from our culture.

Then low and behold, I'm going through the HBO on Demand this morning when I see "Little Britain USA" in the series list. My jaw dropped, and I immediately did my sitting happy dance. So I pressed play on episode 01, sat back with my coffee, and anticipated seeing Carol Beer rudely tell an American "Computer Says No"... as well as what Yankee characters they would bring to the table.

Let me tell you... it HONESTLY did not disappoint. I laughed so hard at one point, I'm sure I woke my roommate up. The things Marjorie says to Rosie O'Donnell are priceless. And Jesus Christ, the gym/bikini guys might even top the obscenity of Bubbles.

I'm sure there will be a lot of elitists and Brits that will despise the idea of their beloved show going American mainstream, but these people just need to get off their high horses and give it a chance. This is a show with two brilliant comedians/actors that needs to be shared and enjoyed by as many people as possible.

And yeah, maybe I'm just a tad bit biased because perhaps now I won't get as many "Who Are you?" responses to my Carol Beer costume I have planned for this Halloween.

Anyway, I really like it. So far, so good. And I really look forward to seeing how far they go with it. You should really see it for yourself before you dismiss it as a bad idea. But I will be honest with you... you need to have a strange and open sense of humor to truly enjoy this show.

I really like the three series of Little Britain (the British version). They're in no way my favourite comedy show (South Park, Family Guy, The Office, Extras, Spaced, Brasseye and Big Train all come above it), but as far as sketch-show comedy goes, the original series was pretty good.

Watching Little Britain USA, I can't help but feel disappointed that many people will not like it, therefore they will not want to visit the original British series, which I think is so much better than this.

The jokes are more immature than before, and some of them simply are not funny. Overall, the show still generates laughs and is enough to pass the time in a semi-pleasant way. Just don't go expecting award-winning comedy this time around.

Little Britain: 1. Take a dozen jokes, about a third of which are actually funny, make each joke into a sketch. 2. Repeat the exact same joke in each episode, but with a minor variation. Instead of Lou and Andy spouting their catchphrases in their living room, they're now doing it in a supermarket!!!!!! Hilarious! 3. Do this so much that even the sketches that were slightly amusing soon become tired and repetitive to anyone whose idea of comedy isn't just endless catchphrases. 4. Enjoy unfathomable success.

Little Britian USA: 1. Repeat steps 1-3 above, but this time set everything in the States because an American audience won't understand it otherwise. 2. Chuck out any jokes that aren't about penises. 3. Add an irritating canned laughter track. 4. Put a few more penis jokes in for good measure. They're just soooo witty. 5. Hopefully bomb and be banned from our screens forever.

I have been a fan of Little Britain for a long time. I live in the USA but downloaded and watched all the UK episodes like I do a lot of British TV; Top Gear, Saxondale, Ali-G, I'm Allen Partridge, the Original Office, etc, etc.. I am a true lover and connoisseur of UK comedy shows. Little Britain is no Saxondale but it is a great show.

When I first saw Little Britain USA I nearly threw up laughing so hard! Not only has the show evolved and gotten more edgy it is clear that they are able to go much further because of the R rated content HBO allows that BBC in the UK did not.

It funny to see the negative responses on here, they seem to be mostly from people from the UK. And I suspect that the only reason they don't like it is because they went into it determined to hate it just because of the "USA" on the end of the title. If they ever got the show before they would really love the "USA" version that does not hold back! This show makes jokes about sexuality, racism, etc. that most American TV wont touch. This is something that has been funny about The Office, Saxondale, Ali-G, even Top Gear for years. The fact that the people from Britain don't get how over the top that is here for this audience, mixed with the sheer raunchiness allowed by HBO over BBC is truly their loss!! And I suspect more about a miss placed sense of anti-Americanism than a true evaluation of the show!!

I have never seen this show or any of this groups' previous shows. I'd never even heard of them, although it seems now that they have been around more than a few years. I'll say in advance that I enjoy British humor, especially Monty Python & Tracey Ullman. I enjoy anything funny & well made, regardless of where it's from. When I found this show listed on HBO OnDemand I popped some popcorn & took over the couch.

I nearly died laughing. That was just the first 5 minutes. I had to stop it a few times because I laughed so hard I missed some of it & had to back it up. Watching this program felt like I was making a new friend, someone that would happily be in my life forever. I want more. I NEED MORE.

To me, this show is Kids In The Hall meets Monty Python with Reno 911 sprinkled on top, but DIRTY funny too. Funny British Comedy! Funny Comedy for any country.

I've watched the Little Britain USA twice more & sat down to write it up here, which I've NEVER done before. I am sure there will be some who disagree with my initial feelings for this show after my first viewing, but that's some people for you! Some people have a sense of humor, some don't. And I stand by my warning...Go to the bathroom before you watch this show. I wish someone had warned me.
