This is the case for every country. You just see it with the US a lot more since it of course has the biggest footprint on the English-language side of the internet.

I think other countries are a lot more open to self deprecation as part of their humour / culture. Not saying there aren't some examples of this in America, it just doesn't seem to be as prevalent as in British comedy for example.
