I love comedy, but I have never encountered any British comedy that wasn't entirely based on being viciously nasty or sneering and/or wallowing in second-hand embarrassment and schadenfreude at asshole-losers.

It is possible my experience isn't wide enough though. So if you have any recs for british comedy that isn't like this, I'd be very happy to accept them.

Britcoms do tend more towards gallows humour, it is true, and appreciating the absurdity of the human condition more than US sitcoms tend to. That is not to say there is not a tremendous overlap of course. As pointed out Benny Hill is loved in America and Frasier and M*A*S*H* were loved in the UK.
