True. But it became overly edgy at some point.To be fair, British humour has always been somewhat camp; absurd, theatrical, flamboyant and heavy on sexual innuendo.
Even legends like the Monty Python crew frequently performed in drag and leaned heavily into sexual innuendo and absurdism.
And the edgiest of them were made to be the new staple of British comedy, by the media.
Look at something like Allo Allo.
It was adult humour... plenty of sexual innuendo. But there was no edge or bite. It was humour for everyone.
