I've lived in America for most of my life, but I've always been an anglophile at heart. Sometimes British television is beautifully nuanced and sometimes it's just stupid, but the juxtaposition makes it all the more entertaining. Here are a few videos that prove that British humor really is iconic and it simply can't be topped.

1. This Joe Lycett standup set

Joe Lycett's set on "Michael Mcintyre's Big Show" focuses on the woes of buying a home in London and how to deal with a real estate scammer. Watch it here.

2. This "8 Out of 10 Cats" clip

In this clip from the program "8 Out of 10 Cats," comedian Rob Beckett reveals the most embarrassing thing he's done at work and some troubles he faces while bathing. You can watch it here.

3. Greg Davies on "Graham Norton"

In this video from "The Graham Norton Show," Greg Davies recounts a story from when he was a teacher and not even Ryan Gosling can help himself from laughing. You can find the clip here.

4. Noel Fielding and Richard Ayoade in Copenhagen

In this clip from "Travel Man'" host Richard Ayoade goes beer tasting in Copenhagen and it gets entertaining. You can watch the clip here.

5. Romesh Ranganathan and Nish Kumar talking relationships

In this video, Romesh Ranganathan sits down with Nish Kumar and they discuss their first relationships at ages of 14 and 19 respectively. Romesh laughs on how his girlfriend cheated on him and Nish explains how his first girlfriend asked him out. Watch it here.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
