This makes me laugh and laugh and laugh:
It's from season two, episode four of "Look Around You," a bizarre British spoof of '80s educational programs. While most of the show requires complete viewing to enjoy, this clip stands alone. I can't describe how much I love it.
If you want more, here's the clip that got me hooked: a look at synthesizers with "Synthesizer Patel." My God.
I loved the dry, deadpan humour of the first series, but I haven't seen much of the second yet. After this (Rafferty!) I'll have to.
ReplyDeleteI hope you like it! I'd previously watched some of the excerpts on YouTube, but it's all much funnier somehow when you see it in context.
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw Rafferty I almost spilled my cereal. I haven't laughed so hard in a long time!
Interesting that you'd comment, I've just started watching the full Jam (and Jaaaaaaaaam) episodes, so long after you posted the "Mr. Lizard" clip. The same applies: somehow it builds a "weirdness momentum" that's more effective in one sitting.
I think I prefer the first season, as Eli said very dry. I'm lucky that a friend made me a DVD of both seasons.
ReplyDeleteI had to watch the first clip three times because I couldn't stop laughing...I swear I could hear echoes of my big sister in the bird-lady. Thank you for the giggle.
