To be fair, "Allo Allo" equally makes fun of the French, Germans, and English.
BTW, while BBC has some very good programming, even before "Hogan's Heros", we had "Sgt. Bilko", the best military comedy TV program ever, in any country. There are a lot of fine British comedies, and lately, with US programming being saturated with "reality" programming, BBC TV is looking better and better. However, if we go back to the Golden Age of television, the top bananas we had on screen (Gleason, Silvers, Caeser, Ball) and the writers backing them (Brooks, Reiner, Simon) blew away anything offered on the other side of the pond.
Of course Britain does have guys like Rowan Atkinson who are absolutely brilliant.
