In response to the actual thread - I think comedy proper is different to the general demeanour - good comedy is funny wherever, and there's plenty of braggard amongst British comedians - first that springs to mind is Ricky Gervais, or less comical, a Chris Evans or a Twatface Moyles.
There is a broad and generalised difference in humours, but my experience is that this isn't so much as a national divide as it is a local divide. I find the humour of my part of the south-west hilarious, but the next county along less so. Glaswegians or Scallys I can deal with, but I don't get the Manc humour. This is entirely personal, but I think there is such a thing as a regional humour, or at least, regional humourous demeanour - do many people in the south get Peter Kay?
