westben2000 I scrolled down to quote this and it was the first comment. Thank you.

It's amazing how Richard Ayoade looks 20 years older as Dean Learner just because of the mustache. Over a decade later, the real guy still looks younger than the character.

Richard Ayoade is just a character Dean has been playing for the last twenty years.

'Understood?' 'As crystal'.

You have to listen to the commentary track to get the full Dean Learner experience. He's so dodgy it's hilarious. He constantly refers to Madeline Wool as "dead Maddy" and insists that her body will never, ever be found lmao.

I love the way Richard breaks character during the "13 and up" bit.

lol, I never noticed that before. This show is so layered. All these years later I'm only now appreciating the intentionally bad sound design. Ironically it's more difficult to have sound this bad, with obvious jump cuts and different room acoustics between shots, than it is to just record it normally.

@ 3:16. Just NOW noticed he cups her ass with his hand! LMMFAO. Love rewatching this show to pick up on small details like that.

Matt Berry is my favorite, but Ayoade steals every scene in this horror drama series.

You forgot to add the many unsolved murders surrounding Dean that surely have nothing to do with him rofl

Dean's interview segments are the best distillations of libertarianism I've heard

An inspired decision to interject him firing the shotgun randomly between clips, hahaha.

“Teleke-what?”

There was a short lived spin off series called Man to Man with Dean Learner- all 6 episodes are on here. Its also genius. Youre welcome.

It's always nice to hear Dean's enlightened views on employing females and burgeoning sexuality in minors.

I just read where he was considered for the role of Dr Who. I wish.....

If that's how you treat your friends, imagine how you treat your enemies! Worse, I expect!

I will generally put in punctuation, I see that as my job. Garth does one draft, he doesn't want to dull it by constantly revising; he'll do one draft. And he'll often elect to omit punctuation. That's his call. I will put in commas, I won't put in semi-colons; this isn't Joyce. I will omit dashes, again this isn't French writing. I will make sure sentences start with capital letters - that's what they're called. I will make sure the book is long enough, or should I say thick enough? And that could be a question of adding more words, it could be a question of making the paper thicker; depends what we've got time for. I, in consultation with Garth, will view the cover. Are there too many skeletons on this cover? Is this skull big enough? Could we fit more maggots on? Should bits of this book be pop-up? Questions like that, so it is creative.

You should watch Garth’s interview with IGN where he goes out of his way to say a sentence while using the wrong punctuation. He says every punctuation out loud

I forgot all about darkplace! adult swim had it years ago then it seems all the bbc content just disappeared, including mighty boosh. This show is criminally underrated

"Get lost!"

I'm yet to see ANY demons on the ward, and I'm particularly observant!

Thank you. 　Newton. Dickens. Churchill. Learner. Great Englishmen.

The greatest character on this show.

I absolutely adored the show, and I'm from Serbia! Need I say more...need I say more.

‘Turn the other way’ lmao

this is going to be the most significant television event since Quantum Leap.......

Richard's fame is increasing at an incredible rate, I hope everyone else in this show gets the recognition they deserve!

I'm watching "The Day the Earth Caught Fire" right now. Arthur Christiansen has a role in this movie and his acting is so terrible, I had to pause and come here. His intonation reminds me so much of Dean Learner in Darkplace.

What a great video. Dean himself would give it aces.

the only way they can ruin this show is if they start acting well....thats why i love this show haha

Dean Learner...Never met a pump-action shotgun he wouldn't shoot!

Somehow I'm always surprised and cracked up by the Quantum Leap reference on a British TV show. I know our pop culture goes back and forth but it just wasn't a show I ever thought about having been aired there.

Dean Learner is an awesome, shady character. Aoade brings out his shadiness every chance he gets. And he gets a lot... If chances, I mean. He gets them. Chances. Many. "DEAN!"

I just saw "The Watch" and it does, in fact, feature Richard Ayoade with a shotgun.

Daen Learner is the best B-grade character ever. I agree with Dean's philosophy about driving drunk. I am great at driving, despite what the police or the local council have to say about the stoby pole erected in my honour. I am in fact better at driving drunk than I am sober... And I'm a bloody good driver sober... So just imagine how well imagine myself driving when I'm of my tits!

Needs some Dean on a dirt bike.

I love it when my little caramelized brain cell gets origami'd into a paper dart and sticks up inside the funny part of my cranium...and then this comes along and makes it wiggle around and gives me the weirdest case of the giggles.....hmmmmmmmm could it be Ayoade Syndrome?

they could add more words, or make the paper thicker - genius solutions

@tarynned That's ingenious.

i dont know wtf I was just watching but he is FIT. mmm

@westben2000 Are you implying that the acting in this is anything short of superb? To portray something so satirically and make it this funny is genius. The fact that they're being ironic makes it GOOD acting, surely? If they were acting poorly, it wouldn't be funny.
