It is so refreshing to see this translates internationally - or at least to other freaky twisted perverts like me! I can remember seeing it when I was young and half thinking that I'd dreamt it up. I've been addicted ever since. However, I had to steer clear for a while at one point - after watching the DVD three times in a row. I started to react to the world in a completely different, dark, post-productioned way. Dangerous! Does anyone enjoy Charlie Brooker stuff?

I particularly loved the slow-motion Doc Knee sketch, as my dumb friends and discovered one day that slow-motion makes for hilariously surreal fun. i highly suggest utilizing your local neighbourhood DVD player's slow-mo function to make everything much much weirder (read: better). SWEET FUCKING CHRIST.

"The Gush" is one of the funniest (and wrongest) sketches from the show.

Never seen this before, and now I am addicted. Thanks a lot, jerks. Reminds me a lot of some of the more surreal Kids in The Hall sketches. Almost anyone can pull off funny, but pulling off creepy funny is a king-hell-bastard of a feat. This is brilliantly twisted. And this is why I read Coilhouse.

Has a great tone and feel that's hard to pin down in terms of shows you'd see in the U.S. The closest it reminds me of are short lived experimental shows you'd see from HBO and the like. It's a shame the music licensing can't get sorted out. It's so important to some shows and they can be ruined without it (like with WKRP in Cincinnati) so fingers crossed it gets resolved.

Here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEacGiMO3K0 Tanya, Cleaner was great! There was another Jam sketch with a little girl who served as "The Cleaner" - the type who gets rid of a body after a crime. That was one of my favorites ever. Completely gone from the web now. According to some sources, it starred Chris Morris' daughter, but that's been disputed. Chris Morris is now working on a movie about suicide bombers and terrorists. Can't wait to see how <i>that</i> turns out. Andriy, the sketch you’re remembering is called “Suicide with an Escape Clause.” Here it is:
