When I looked at that comedy, I had to
look at it over and over to understand what was funny to the audience. They
kept laughing at the guy repeating the same lyrics time and again. If I happens to found
myself in a concert like that, I will definitely fall asleep. In any case, the
last part of the show was funny when the musician almost gets punched on the face or jumped over.
This situation clearly point out our
cultural differences. What seems to be fun to you according to your norms will
not implies to me some times. Fun differs according to societies. That is why the audience
is able to see fun in that scenario while somebody from my cultural background
will see it as boring.
I am a big fan of Sir Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie, and I can tell you that they were not simply singing a funny song, they were making fun of the American people's egos. By singing a song with only "America" and "States", he was exaggerating the American attitude, and making fun of the American sense of superiority. I thought it was hilarious.
