The book Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, and Fawlty Towers, Benny Hill, and Monty Python on PBS, were my introduction to British humor when I was a kid growing up in California.
My brother took me to see Holy Grail and Life of Brian.
I dunno why British humor hits so well with nerdy kids.
I guess I started with audio tapes of "Handcock's half hour" and "I'm sorry I'll read that again", then "Yes, minister", then onto The Guide and later red dwarf...

The tagline on book 5 was superb:
The fifth book in the increasingly incorrectly titled hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy trilogy.

I read that when going to collage one year and ended up laughing out loud on the station platform

Best place to start laughing to be honest. If social inhibition fails, it's goddamn funny.
