I got the joke, I just didn't see any reason to run with it.
In fact I used to joke that my previous apartment building had inherited the elevators from Fawlty Towers. Viewers of the show will know what I'm talking about.

but somehow having my fellow Americans not get it
in no way ruins my pleasure
(it just confirms that we really wouldn't notice)
Just to keep the air clear... I got it as well. To be honest, I was just joking about the u's. Bring 'em on.

I love John Cleese's humor

the u's are not unneccessary they show the derivation of the word as it used to be said - I think we should all go back to "burruff" as it should be pronounced.
Yes, rugby and football players wear shorts, but as far as I can tell, american football and baseball players wear tights! or maybe leggings?! mmm manly.
I don't really care about aluminium i think its sweet that its pronounced wrong, as with nuclear being pronounced "nuc-e-lar".
On the other hand, the Queen is only really good for tourism, I always get the german and english national anthems mixed up (but then the english royal family is german) and we don't need guns to kill people, thats what cars are for.
IMHO.

Hey folks, lighten up uh?
I thought it was pretty funny.
John Cleese is a laugh riot in my opinion.
Since when did we Americans loose our sense of humor?
Am I a Lion?... No, I think I'ma tellin' the truth.

The Americans who don't find this hysterically funny are generally those who are taking offense to the line about "not electing competent leadership".
They don't like it pointed out to them that Bush is a simpleton who, despite having power over nuclear weapons, doesn't know how to say nuclear weapons.
Those of us who don't feel the need to shelter our glorious leader from any criticism (or exposure to the real world) are more able to laugh at ourselves.
