Top 10 Countries with the Best Sense of Humor
The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, commonly shortened to United Kingdom, UK or Britain is a Sovereign State located of the Northwestern coast of Europe. It is a Parliamentary Constitutional Monarchy currently lead by Monarch Queen Elizabeth II and its current prime minister is Boris Johnson. The UK is a Unitary State consisting of Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland... read more The British are so bloody funny. I love their accents and sense of humor, I love British shows, The way they cuss is hilarious and the accent makes it even better
I agree with Bill Bryson, Brits (and, at my peril, I am including the Irish) love to laugh and cannot be in conversation for more than 5 minutes without sharing and laughing at something funny. The humour is different in different parts of the UK, some high-brow and subtle, some much less so, some dry, some very robustly not! Watch two Americans talking, two French, two Germans (sorry, that last was unfair, we all know a German joke is no laughing matter) and they can go hours without a laugh, especially middle-class Americans who can drone on in mock-scientific expertise mode until all around them have lost the will to live. Humour in the UK and Ireland is like tea, it's on offer minutes, sometimes seconds, into any conversation between friends, family or strangers.
The United States of America, or the U.S.A. for short, is a federal republic composed of 50 states, 48 of them are contiguous states. There are two other states, Alaska and Hawaii, which are north and south of the contiguous states, respectively. The United States declared its independence from the British Empire in 1776 with the Declaration of Independence. They won their independence in 1783 with... read more Americans are hilarious. We have so many stupid people as well, but we laugh and smile all the time. We are a diverse nation and we are so much fun
A country with the best comedians, the funniest movies, and the millennial population never ceasing to make each-other laugh... The USA should definitely be considered a top contender. Anyone who has spent time with a group of Americans will find themselves in an environment where every friendly interaction will leave you laughing and joyful. American humor comes in every form imaginable... from immature to witty. Anyone who has seen enough American comedies and stand ups would rate the USA at the top of their list.
One area where Americans are truly exceptional is humor. We're irreverent, sarcastic, and have successfully exported our sense of humor far and wide. The American Dream everyone talks about is really a quality of life that allows relaxation, humor, and fun. Perhaps sometimes we're seen as too funny, too informal, and not serious enough. But Americans also have a very serious workaholic side. So, I'd say we know how to work hard and play hard.
Australia, officially the Commonwealth of Australia, is a sovereign country comprising the mainland of the Australian continent, the island of Tasmania, and numerous smaller islands. With an area of 7,617,930 square kilometres (2,941,300 sq mi), Australia is the largest country by area in Oceania and the world's sixth-largest country. Australia is the oldest, flattest, and driest inhabited continent,... read more Aussies are bloody funny. Love their accent, dark sense of humor, sarcasm, they are just great. Americans love Aussies but they are so far away
I love Australian comedians like Cal Wilson and Anh Do. They really know how to make their life stories sound really funny and interesting. Their improvisation in a show is absolutely great!
Depends on how you answer the question. Yes, the Brits probably have better comedians historically, but the Australian people themselves (I.e. regular people) are more widely known for our sense of humour.
Formed in 1916 after the Easter uprising, Ireland is a small country with a population of roughly 5 million. The Irish are jovial and enjoy telling witty stories. They also engage happily with strangers by using humour as an icebreaker. I think this puts them well ahead of the English who are cold and only start expressing their humour if they know you really well. Go to any place where people meet, the pup, rugby pitch or work place and you will hear the Irish chortling. In England you hardly ever hear people joking or laughing only when they are at home. English humour relies very heavily on belittling others. If you want fun go to Ireland.
The Irish have the best sense of humour going. They just get it, and they never seem to take offense from anything that is an actual joke unlike some Americans.
The greatest humour in the world has to go to Ireland, have you heard them speak haha
My Irish dad is funny as well his father and grandfather. Some of my uncles were the same. I laughed a lot growing up and I miss those days.
England, previously the Kingdom of England, is a constituent country of the United Kingdom along with Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.England can trace its history as far back as the 10th century, but modern England didn't start till the Norman Invasion of 1066. In 1535, England annexed Wales and in 1603 shared a Monarch with Scotland, which eventually led to the Unification of the two... read more
Always bloody funny. Us Americans know a lot of British celebs and they are great. The Brits have done bad stuff historically, but I am obsessed with them
It's not really fair to mention just England of their sense of humour, even though it's England that has produced the most successful comedies; the rest of Great Britain has has a fantastic sense of humour, and it's not just comedies and comedians that get paid to be funny; it's ordinary British Joe Public that makes me laugh. The British people on the whole has a very dry, intelligent, subtle and often very sarcastic sense of fun and playfulness.
England. A country which can take the mickey out of themselves. They don't take anything to heart and their sarcasm is funny beyond belief. They have the best stand-up comedians - Jack Dee, Lee Mack, Lee Evans, Tim Vine and too many others for me to mention. England is at its rightful place at number one. They're a funny lot. (I'm an Aussie) and I love The Pom coms.
The Philippines, officially the Republic of the Philippines, is an archipelagic country in Southeast Asia. It is situated in the western Pacific Ocean and consists of around 7,641 islands that are broadly categorized under three main geographical divisions from north to south: Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. The Philippines is bounded by the South China Sea to the west, the Philippine Sea to the east,... read more Filipinos love to laugh and smile, super friendly, love life! I'm amazed at how friendly and loving Filipinos are, and I love their food.
For me the Philippines—where I live is one of has the most humorous personalities. Amidst of every problems we face like typhoon, volcanic eruption, poverty and many more, most of the people here just face and smile it.
And you see in social media? There is a lot of filipino entertainer who got been famous, one of the reason is because of their humors. I have lot of known person here who is so humorous, in school there will always be, in the neighborhood, in my relatives every where, even a stranger can make you smile. I can't describe it completely but swear to you Filipinos are really good in humors.
"Philippines must be at the number 1" because filipinos always smile, laugh and even cry with a tears of joys, they also always feel the hurt in the abdomenal muscles because they laugh a lot, sometimes even if it's corny you will feel like laughing out loud because of the corniest feeling you'll also feel happy. But the funniest thing is being nasty and making vine videos. So the Philippines has the greatest sense of humour ever because they don't feel any offense when you crack a joke, anytime you can tell or crack a joke because they have a highest sense of mumore. So they must at first.
P. S. Don't search funny movies in the philippines because kinda bit corny instead of friending a filipino is much better.

It lies off the eastern coast of the Asia Mainland (east of China, Korea, Russia) and stretching from the Sea of Okhotsk in the north to the East China Sea and near Taiwan in the southwest.Japan has a huge capital city called Tokyo, other cities in Japan include Fukuoka, Hiroshima, Osaka, Nagoya and Sendai.

The United States not generally but the best comedy shows are American. However, Serbia and Croatia, especially Serbia have great comedy shows too. I live in Croatia in case you wonder. by the way British humor is the worst of all. No funny TV shows, and Brits generally laugh at anything and themselves don't have any sense of humor. Just watch the Britain's Got Talent comedy acts or just any british TV "comedy" show and you will see what I mean.
Serbian humour is various: it can be dark, it can be silly and it can be witty. Most characteristically, it is very direct and is unafraid of exposing the main point. The Serbian people know to make a joke at the expense of their own misfortune and they are not PC-sensitive, which is a relief in this era of strict political correctness.
Overall, Serbian humour is bold humour, and not for the sensitive people.

I think Italians have the best sense of humor anywhere- if you understand Italian you will see what we mean! I am not Italian but appreciate their sense of humor!
One of the funniest countries I have ever been to- once you get to know them, Italians are very funny people.

The Gulf of Aqaba in the northeast... read more Since I was a kid, I have been traveling a lot to different countries, but Egypt always wins because it is close to my heart. Fortunately, he was born in Egypt. I even learned the Arabic language, especially the "Egyptian dialect" only because I love living there next to its people, and the Egyptian jokes and the jokes of its people excited me, and how its people are kind and you feel that you are in it. Your country wherever you are in Egypt, as in the very interesting Egyptian Pharaonic history, in short everything in Egypt is very beautiful how they made everything funny out of nothing, and made life wonderful. Even when they are at their worst.
You will fall in love with Egypt permanently.
I am a person who travels around the world try to meet new people and learn about the different cultures an I must admit they are truly the funniest people I have ever met.
If you talk to Egyptians on any topic, even politics, they are able to create very funny jokes about almost anything and everything. Like these creative jokes that make you laugh from the heart. My opinion that they are the best Egypt is by far the funniest country in which I have lived, and has many friends, and watched the movie eleven countries above Egypt in this site is not funny at all compared to Egypt.

The most spoken languages are Hindi and English, but there are 22 official Indian languages... read more Despite of being multicultural and multilingual nation, the sense of humor of the Indian people are awesome which you can easily spot here in United states. They must be having good jokes and sarcarsm in their different languages because many jokes are limited by language and cannot be translated with the same fun into other language.
In India, humour is our another language. The only country where you can see a variety of humour, let that be witty comments, different sounds, sarcasm etc. Whereas English and Americans are famous only for sarcasm and explicit vulgar humours.
The huge impact of movies on Indians is one of the reasons why Indians are quite possibly the only people that could understand sense of humour of any country, any culture, any religion, any lifestyle.

Maybe we're just not rude enough (like dry sarcasm from the brits, or obnoxious like the aussies and americans) but rest assured, we are passive aggressively leading the world in sarcasm.
"Jim Carrey, Norm MacDonald, Mike Myers, Seth Rogen, John Candy, Will Arnet.. to name a few. These iconic names are revolutionary in american comedy culture, with the likes of Carrey and Rogen being prolific influences in some of the best known comedy flicks around.

Mexico, officially the United Mexican States, is a federal republic located in North America. The country is located between the U.S. and Central America, and is known for its Pacific and Gulf of Mexico beaches and its diverse landscape of mountains, deserts, and jungles. If Mexico is not in the number one is because we are extremely clever when it comes to humor and even if you speak Spanish can be challenging to understand our jokes!
As a foreigner it was so difficult for me at the beginning to get the jokes but once I learned spanish I understood how Mexicans joke, I loved it!
Mexican humor is great, they even makes jokes about themselves, which is a think not everybody does.

Some french jokes were hard to understand, but when my sister taught me them, I loved it!
