Re: Shortlist interview
Aussies have a very sarcastic sense of humour, which some people (especially Americans, for some reason) just don't get. I love sarcasm, irony, and just general smart-arsery. I think most people on this site share that sense of humour, which is one of the reasons we don't fight. I also think Benny has that sort of humour, which leads to him being misunderstood in some quarters. Sometimes when I read an interview that he's done, I can hear him laughing as he says things. Obviously, others may not hear that, which leads to all the confusion.
Wait, did I just admit to hearing voices? Oh, well

Hearing voices, falling repeatedly from your chair - are you really sure this forum's good for you?

Why? Is there something abnormal about that?

Re: Shortlist interview
In my experience humour depends on the person, no matter what country or region. I could laugh my ass off when I see Monthy Python or Little Britain; I guess there are British people who don't like it at all. 
My favourite Shortlist answer:
Did your friendship with Rebecca Hall make the first episode’s sex scene easier?
No, I mean we laughed our arses off – there was a lot of wasted film that day. But [it’s good to] giggle at the silliness rather than get uptight. I’m really good friends with her other half as well, which must have been odd. “How was your day, darling? “Well, I was just riding Benedict in a train carriage… [laughs].

I shouldn't have read this post while drinking something! Fortunately it was just water.
