    It seems to depend on where you are from in the states. I am from NJ and I very much get sarcasm, but I now live in Ky and most people here don't. Mor often than not they just give me a blank look.

    now that's where you're wrong, it's up there with repeating what someone has just said in a sing song voice

    I'm pretty sure Americans get sarcasm. Overstated sarcasm and irony are pretty much the only comic devices Friends seems to play on....
