Anybody else watch this yet?
It's a British show [adult swim] just started airing a few weeks ago and it's fucking hilarious. It's done in the style of those learning videos they would sometimes show you in high school, right down to telling you to write things down in your "copybooks." It's very dry, British humor crossed with zany concepts presented as science and reminds me a bit of Monty Python's Flying Circus. Unfortunately, it's only available on Region 2 DVDs, I'm hoping [as] will release it here if it's popular enough (and within their ability to do so.)
Apparently, Tim and Eric love it. Which leads me to the question of if they have such good taste in television, how do they possibly create such horrible, piece of shit shows.
Cue the Tim & Eric fans coming out of the woodwork to tell me I'm an idiot again...

Hey I happen to enjoy Tim and Eric and I never mind there's no way of keeping that charade up. The best thing to come out of Tim and Eric was a fake dating service segment that I caught flipping through channels, and that was only good for a chuckle. The rest ranges from retarded to disgusting to both.

Thank you!
That's exactly how I feel about it. It's either "let's be incredibly stupid or let's be incredibly gay", I just don't get it...

I watched the episode entitled "Maths" on Youtube, and it's basically the educational films that my friends and I would make. Very funny indeed.

They have all the episodes aired so far in the Video section of [as]'s site and I've been dying laughing watching them. The Ghosts and Sulfur ones are especially hilarious.

The dry British humor in the eps I've caught on Adult Swim have been really freaky.
Funny show.

Heh, so true. I think I've said it here before, but Tim & Eric are like retarded stepchildren of Andy Kaufman.

Holy crap, this is airing in America now? A pal of mine got the UK DVD when it came out a few years back, and I couldn't stop laughing. One of the greatest shows ever.
Thank you, Ants.

I didn't know that was showing on Adult Swim. I saw the most of the videos online last year sometime. It's hilarious shit.

I'm so pissed it's not on Region 1, I so would have bought it by now.

My Math teacher showed us this last year.
He made us take notes...
And he was serious about it,
I thought it was just a weird old one. Not sure if it WAS supposed to be funny.
I liked it though.
Especillay the ghosts one.

Your math teacher was either a master of subtle humor or missed the point entirely.

I swear, you bait me on purpose. However, I never called anyone an idiot for having a different taste in humor, I merely explain why the show is funny to me.
As for Look Around You, sounds pretty interesting. If I can't get to sleep, I'll definitely check it out.
