If you took the Hammerman to be me, then I definitely definitely definitely definitely wouldn't. Partly because the idea of you having music that isn't available outside of Eastern Europe makes me go "coooooool".

1. Probably good acting, because presumably regional accuracy could be easily taught to someone with those sorts of skills.

2. Occasionally mock them. It's hard to word this without sounding like I'm advocating cruelty -- but me and my friends always tend to have inside jokes regarding each other (which sometimes look meaninglessly crude to outsiders), that are bordering on the surreal. I've found it brought us closer.

3. Flight of the Conchords, probably. The song 'Carol Brown' is one of my favourites (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cGoDns8wTA) -- the sense of melancholy in the lyrics and music sort of set it apart from most 'comedy songs' (that I'm generally less keen on), I feel.
Also, this by them made me laugh a lot the first time I saw it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlCoBra6PfU
It's also worth mentioning that 4'33 by John Cage is, I think, clearly an example of humour -- though that's open to debate.

Oh yeah, I'll pass these on, due to tiredness, having very recently done the questioning, and the fact that I'm a total dick.
