Why can’t Bush understand the crosstalk while Dashan can? What are the differences between Chinese and western comedies?

Differences
The way of thinking of Western and Chinese people is different. Different countries have different cultures and customs, so the comedies based on different cultures and customs are different. If we don’t have a good study of foreign cultures, histories and customs, we won’t understand their comedies well, just as Westerners can’t understand Chinese Xiangsheng well, the Chinese don’t understand the Western’s jokes, either.
