Little Britain USA is a television series from HBO, based on the British sketch comedy Little Britain. The show stars David Walliams and Matt Lucas, who also created the original series, and features a range of recurring characters, catchphrases, and sketches with a uniquely American twist.

The show comprised of six episodes, each featuring a series of sketches, many of which were based on established characters from the original UK series. The show was set in a fictionalized version of the United States, allowing the writers to satirize American culture and politics in their typical, irreverent style.

Despite being a British import, the show was well-received in the US, with many American critics praising the sharpness of its satire, as well as the quality of the writing and performances. The show has since become a cult favorite, with many fans hailing it as one of the most memorable sketch comedy series of recent years.

One of the most notable aspects of Little Britain USA is the way in which it satirizes American stereotypes and cultural quirks. The show features a range of recurring characters, many of whom are exaggerated caricatures of typical American archetypes, including a redneck trucker, a high-school guidance counselor, and a bubbly flight attendant.

In addition to these recurring characters, the show also features a number of sketches and one-offs, tackling various aspects of American culture, politics, and society. Whether it's poking fun at the obsession with celebrity culture or highlighting the absurdities of the healthcare system, the show is never afraid to tackle controversial or divisive issues head-on.

Another key element of the show is its use of catchphrases and iconic moments. From "I'm a lady!" to "Computer says no," Little Britain USA is filled with memorable lines that have become part of the cultural lexicon. This emphasis on creating memorable moments and characters is one of the reasons why the show has remained so popular with fans, even years after it first aired.

Of course, much of the success of Little Britain USA can be attributed to the talent and chemistry of its two leads, David Walliams and Matt Lucas. The pair have a long history of working together, having previously collaborated on the original Little Britain series, as well as a number of other projects.

Their easy rapport and comic timing are apparent throughout the show, with the duo effortlessly inhabiting a range of characters and personas. Whether it's Walliams' portrayal of the doting mother Ellie-Grace or Lucas' turn as the sleazy talent agent Sebastian Love, the two actors are clearly having a blast, and their joy is infectious.

While the show is undoubtedly hilarious, it's worth noting that it can be quite crude and vulgar at times. Many of the sketches feature sexual or scatological humor, and some of the characters are deliberately offensive or politically incorrect. While this may not be to everyone's taste, it's a hallmark of the show's irreverent style, and a reminder that it's not intended for the easily offended or faint of heart.

Overall, Little Britain USA is a highly entertaining and irreverent sketch comedy series that deftly satirizes American culture and society. With its sharp writing, memorable characters, and iconic moments, it remains a favorite among fans of British comedy, and is well worth checking out if you're in the mood for some laughs.

Little Britain USA is a series that ran for 1 seasons (6 episodes) between September 22, 2008 and on HBO
