Jennifer Saunders is one of a handful of British comedians who helped bring British comedy out of the seventies - she also appears to be one of the handful who do not want to go back there.
I agree with your two types of comedy - I just think funny is a mercurial term.
Maybe you and the other Jennifer Saunders disciples should get together and set up a commune, along the lines of 'Jonestown'? Followers could sit in plain white dust-cover-ed living rooms, with towels on their heads and bemoan the crassness of non-Saunders comedy in mock-outraged upper-class accents (for hours on end and with no discernable punchlines).
