> Nothing is more American comedy than men being raped in prison.
Is this really true? Because it is my instinctual belief for staying on internet too much, but when i think about who i've met there, i don't think it's true (well, most of them were hippies and back-to-lander, the few who had a job worked in natural parks or as musicians, so maybe i did not meet the average USian)
Perhaps not as hyperbolic as they write but it’s definitely there. It might aid understanding to do an internet search for the phrase “don’t drop the soap”.
I suspect what OP means is that people outside America don’t make similar jokes, not that it’s quintessential American comedy. It’s just (mostly?) uniquely American comedy.
