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. Yes, the comeback “your mother” is as American as apple pie, but the proper use of the mother joke is British through and through. 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.
