No silly. Ant Farm, remember?

I love pasta like lasagna, spaghetti, etc. Here's a list from my personal web site (http://antfarm.home.dhs.org ):

"Food (non-spicy [even minor one bugs or else happens], not too salty (burns), soft without chewing; simple too):

apple (thin slices)
banana (cut to thin slices)
beefs (tiny and soft like Korean barbeque (BBQ)'s bulgogi)
biscuit
bologna
bread (buns) [soft parts -- if crusts are hard, I don't eat them]
burrito skin (soft and moist skin, but inside is not eaten due to hardness)
cake
carrot (soft)
cereal (soften by regular whole/2% milk, not crunchy)
cheddar cheese
chicken (Maceo's aunts )
chicken salad (soft -- almost like tuna salad)
Chinese meatballs, lion heads, dim sums, dumplings, and wontons (not fried)
chips
cookies (can be moisten)
corn (kernels already removed from plant/ear)
corn dog
curry
soft cracker (can be moisten)
egg, from chickens (scrambled, sunny side up/fried, and boiled [makes abdomen go poopy])
enchilada (soft, non-spicy, lots of sauce, and like lasagna)
fish (bones are problems since due to lack of chewing; salmon is good)
fish and chip (don't usually eat the crust unless it's soft)
French toast (usually avoid it because of syrup that hurts the sensitive teeth)
fruits (soft) except strawberries, cherries, and watermelon (allergic)
grape
grilled cheese (soft breads)
hot dog (has to be soft enough to be cuttable)
Jell-o/jello -- There's always room for it.
lasagna
macaroni and cheese
mash potato with its sauce
meat balls like in spaghettis, Subway
meat loaf
mushroom
noodles (soft; e.g., udon)
oatmeal (non-raw)/porridge
omele(tte)
pancake (usually avoid it because of syrup that hurts the sensitive teeth)
pasta (many types like Bruschetta Chicken from T.G.I. Friday's)
peach with its juice
peas
pineapple (cut into thin slice to make them soft)
pizza (soft crust)
pumpkin pie
pupusa (soft and moist)
quesadilla (soft and inside is moist like Islands Restaurants' version with cheese cream(?) inside and soft cover).
raisin
ravioli
rice with moisture (water/soup) and other food on it (don't like plain rice by itself).
risotto
sandwich (no lettuce and tomatoes)
scallop (soft)
seaweed (in soup)
spaghetti
spinach (to be strong like Popeye and be able to do melees)
sushi (salmon teriyaki, shrimp tempura [not too many or else get sick with a headache, upset tummy, etc.] with miso soup, sashimis, rice, etc.)
tofu
tortilla (soft and moist without the inside due to hardness)
tuna salad (almost like chicken salad)
turkey
waffle (usually avoid it because of syrup that hurts the sensitive teeth)
etc. Any soft, usually moist (warm water usually do), and non-spicy (even a little have impacts) food that your overlord can eat. Avoids very sweet and cold drinks and food due to sensitive, broken, and hard to clean teeth (use two different tooth pastes and oral rinses).
Ant's defected mouth doesn't open wide and cannot chew very well. "

Now, I am hungry. Please feed me!

I don't know about this... Think about the best American comic right now, Louis CK. His on-stage (and on-screen) persona almost exactly fits what Fry describes as the British archetype. And he's not alone: think about Larry David in Curb Your Enthusiasm, George Costanza in Seinfeld, Homer Simpson, even Lucille Ball.

On the flip side, British comedians like Russell Brand, Jimmy Carr and Rowan Atkinson in Blackadder (except for the first season) are more like Fry's description of American comedy. It seems to me that what Fry has done here is come up with a nice neat story about differing national character based on broad stereotypes rather than acute observation, turned that into a theory of comedy, and then cherry-picked examples that fit his theory without mentioning exceptions. It all sounds very impressive given his amazing facility with language and rhetoric, but it's not very good analysis.
