Err... yes precisely. What's funny?Hardly clever.It means nothing.We Brits don't get the American humour either.There is no humour in the cartoon.
We colonials only understand (or laugh) at British humor, I certainly did not find the cartoon a thigh slapper.. Now if it was a video clip of "Only Fools & Horses".....

:LMAO:Happy New Year to all and your families

As a Brit i would comment that this really isn't funny; but worse it appears to be quite insulting. My reading (of the cartoon) is that PMDG are robbing McPhat and FS2Crew. I would expect that this thread would be locked and / or deleted.Oh and as a Brit i find "Only fools and horses" about as funny as waking up with rampent vomiting and diarrhea.Blackadder, monty python, Faulty towers...far funnier.

Ian surely you mean Fawlty Towers? Or Towery Fawlts. Or Flowery (*&*)&) maybe? :)in any case, I did not roll on the floor laughing, but it did provoke a little chuckle. Maybe you need to know a bit of the history here? I think it was a bit over month ago, maybe two months that McPhat wrote that they are waiting for PMDG to be able to release the textures (or some of them at least anyway) that some forumers came here to make a fuss about, which provoked a somewhat heated response about how PMDG invested time and money in McPhat and how unprofessional they were and I dont remember look it up.

No need for locking the thread is there?I agree though, it's about as funny as getting an arrow through the neck and finding there's a gas bill tied to it.... :( In fact, it's a bit like one of those Victorian cartoons they used to have in Punch - funny because they were so unfunny, and needed several lines of explanatory notes!But if others like it, that's great. I actually feel cursed by my very hard to please sense of humour.My favourite at the moment is The Thick of It - sublime.Happy New Year to all.Ian

Of Course the Brits or Europeans would never understand the Humor of this cartoon. It's funny because it's the MOB and over here in the Good Ole USA it's part of our history. (Al Capone) etc. If it offends you then jeeze don't watch Jay Leno, David Letterman or Jimmy Fallon as they are far more Hard Core! :Talk to the Hand:If you don't like it then move along and find another topic to read. :(

It's an insider joke and only funny when you followed what went on between PMDG and McPhat Studios recently. The mafia angle is especially funny when you know about some of the accusations that followers threw around. But who said humour is supposed to be for everyone? :D

Trust me, over here we are well aware of the prohibition, the mafia, Capone etc. So please let us be the judge of what we "of course would never understand", thank you very much. :(

Yeah Patrick, the humor is obviously lost on some. I never found British humor (Monty) funny at all but the Irish are pretty damn funny! LOL.gif

I didn't think it was that funny. I am aware of the story between McPhat and PMDG. But don't think for a minute I wouldn't dust off my musket if you Brits start getting too uppity.(I don't care who you are, THAT was funny.)
