6:24 I like this part because Garth cleverly shows how his character is sad. You can tell by the subtle downturn of the head, furrowing of the brow, and frowning of the mouth. He clearly didn't want to have to burn his old buddy.

7:25 that look to the camera... perfection.

It is actually really good acting since they are trained actors, trying to play an untrained actor twice, both in act and out of act. End result is just hilarious

I'm convinced it's the most quotable show I've ever seen.

The way Thornton Reed is just standing there during the chaos at the funeral with a smirk on his face 😂

"keep your headbands on, that way we won't get lost"

I love that a load of Matt Berry's lines are dubbed over the video

"watch out he's got a stick" best line ever,

In the spirit of typing words that were in the scenes (01:29): "Everything bar the kitchen sink!"... "OH MY GAWD, THE KITCHEN SINK AN' ALL"

The thing is, this actually is the best acting ever. To actually play a character badly intentionally while acting enough to make it convincing has to be one of the hardest things to ever do and they execute it perfectly. Chef's kiss of a show.

I'm forever wishing he would do another series.

Richard Ayoade looks so different without glasses and with a moustache.

I remember finding this hidden away on Late Night Channel 4...with no explanation...and thinking...whaaat????..then I got it!..looked out for it after that

I love the "Move aside!" bit :D

"Everything but the kitchen sink" "Oh my god the kitchen sink and all" Top quality material.

Most underrated comedy ever.

"God How I wish I was hitting the ward with those young bucks"

Ayoade has never been in shows like this enough. He steals everything he appears in, imho.

It took several attempts but i counted 13 rounds fired from that revolver. Just one of many subtle details that made this show absolutely genius.

dagless took a flamethrower to a funeral lmfaooo

I’ve got two words for you channel 4… “brilliant”

I wish this series would be put back in rotation on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim. Classic *^_^*

As someone who works on tv production. It takes an incredible amount of talent in order to make something look low quality and entertaining at the same time

I remember watching this back in the day phwen I was head of the South American desk in Peru.
