Now I'm confused, are you being sarcastic or not?????

If you are, well done, you've proved me wrong.

If you are not, Benny Hill and Fawlty Towers are a certain type of old British humour called farce, it is continued today by Mr Bean. I think kids and foreigners like it, but it is looked down upon in British comedic circles.

For a complete course on British sarcasm see Blackadder Series 2-4. (starring Mr Bean)
