Humor outside the U.S. seems a bit low-key and funnier...

... than most of what we get in America. Comedy films here tend to be absurd and over-the-top. "Shaun of the Dead" managed to mix humor, satire and some extremely gory imagery into a wonderfully funny film, in which the humor showed some wit.
Two guys on their knees trying to decide which phonograph records they should throw at the zombies (oops... sorry for using that word) got my chuckles going for the rest of the film. The little spurt of blood that popped from Shaun's head when he removed the dart was an excellent bit to borrow from Monty Python.
"Shaun of the Dead" is a well written, well acted movie: true to its genre, witty with its laughs, and not without a few serious moments to ponder.
