I love the TV show also. It's just so surreal and dark.


Some brilliant sketches in there.

One of my favourites is the man who attends his own funeral: https://youtube.com/watch?v=HhBkC6B9I2U


My favorite is the detached upperclass parents who didn't notice their child not coming home from school: https://youtu.be/sydPKgC_Or4?t=1137


I like to human think that Garth Marenghi's Darkplace is a spiritual successor of sorts.


> The cabin crew suggested we all go out and club it. I had no option. It was that or one of their B&Bs. I figured it'd be safer on the streets. For the first time ever I saw the Scotch in their natural habitat, and it weren't pretty. I'd seen them huddling in stations before, being loud but… this time I was surrounded. Everywhere I went it felt like they were watching me; fish-white flesh puckered by the Highland breeze; tight eyes peering out for fresh meat; screechy, booze-soaked voices hollering out for a taxi to take 'em halfway up the road to the next all-night watering hole. A shatter of glass; a round of applause; a sixteen-year-old mother of three vomiting in an open sewer, bairns looking on, chewing on potato cakes. I ain’t never going back… not never.


Is that you watching the YouTube video?

Yes, lived in Glasgow for 10 years so it’s one of my favourites.


Perhaps moreso Monkey Dust?


I'm a big fan of Monkey Dust, but due to legal complications with the music copyrights, they were only able to release the first season on DVD. Pirating is the only way too watch seasons 2 and 3.
