Subtlety and UK comedy don't go well together. I can only think of a handful of times when the two have worked well. Porridge and Dad's Army to name two.

Comedy and social issues are like water and electricity.

Are you kidding with these points? 

British humour is often very dry. And I can think of numerous comedies making social points over the years. 

Your post reads very oddly to me - I almost wonder if you’re being very clever and ironic and I’ve missed it.
