British Comedy 101: The Mother Joke

Chris Hardwick – host of BBC America’s MINISTRY OF LAUGHS, and the Nerdist — is teaching an intro class on British Comedy. Today’s lesson: the Mother Joke.

Comedy is back on BBC America, and humour is funnier with an extra U! The Ministry of Laughs, Saturdays at 10/9c, featuring THE GRAHAM NORTON SHOW, THE INBETWEENERS, and COME FLY WITH ME.
