I heard that Americans don't like British, Australian and New Zealand humor.

Do you find this video funny at all?

I'm Australian and it's funny to me.
That seems like something New Zealanders would like.

WE Aussie like this www.youtube.com/watch?v=j01MzOaKka8

You most likely won't get it if you aren't Australian.
 
Flight of the chonchords is HILIRIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i dunno if you wanna know coz im a kiwi bro i eat fush and chups and ride my sheep to school.

Haha just kidding but i am a new zealander :)
 
I don't go to youtube, but I do like European humor. Who told you we didn't like them? People who hate us?
 
I watched it for one minute. The robot skit was very, very, very slightly amusing. The rest was not.

If that is the height of New Zealand humor, I'll have to agree that Americans do not find New Zealand humor funny.

Regarding British humor: some is flat as flat can be, while some is genuinely funny. Examples of really funny:
- Waiting for God
- Last of the Summer Wine
- Mr. Bean
- Thin Blue Line
- Black Adder I
- Good Neighbors

Examples of British attempts at humor that were mostly horrible and unfunny:
- Red Dwarf
- Faulty Towers

- Jim
 
The video in the link is just random clips without context. I'm not familiar with the show, so I can't say whether or not the show is funny.

I am an American, and I do think there are funny British comedies... But I think the only people who would appreciate what you linked to would be people who are already familiar with the show.

EDIT in response to edited additional details:
If a non-Aussie is not familiar with the show, then why associate that specific youtube video with your question? There are many more youtube videos that can and will more clearly display Aussie humor for people who are not familiar with a specific show. To understand what you linked to, one would have to be familiar with that one show. To be familiar with Aussie humor in general, there are better examples out there.
