Chilean Humor?

Growing up it never occured to me there could be different types of humor. Only since I have moved to Chile have I realized that in different cultures, different types of humor are appropriate. Sarcasm isnt the same in Chile as it is in the United States.

For example, last night I went to go see the new Batman movie. There were a few lines that made me chuckle to myself, althoug the movie was far from a comedy. However, there was a scene where batman was banging someones head against a kitchen table. The Chileans thought this was hilarious. I was of course, horrified by the grotesque violence. However, Chileans love their physical humor. So even though the scene was terribly violent, the one bit of physical humor invovled made them all laugh hysterically.

In short, I miss US humor. And I miss US TV and comedies. I miss laughing in a theatre when everyone else does, instead of being the sole laughing voice.
