Has anyone heard of this show? I just watched two episodes of it on adult swim (Maths and Water) but I honestly don't remember the last time I laughed so much. It actually brought me to tears.

It is a short comedy show originally on BBC that spoofs British educational videos.

In the first series, the episodes both satirised and paid homage to 1970s and early 1980s educational films and schools programmes, with a different scientific subject being discussed in each episode, or "module" as they are called in the series.

These are the only two episodes that Ive seen, but I'm searching for the rest of them right now. I haven't seen the second season is like, but from what I've read it is a different format.

You know, I feel like I've heard about this and maybe even seen it once but if I have I don't remember it.  Either way, I'll definitely give it a look!

Yeah I used to have the first series of this on DVD it rocks. Really really really don't bother watching the second series though I can't stress this enough

it's darth maul

I have not actually watched this but Peter Serafinowicz is a pretty funny guy so I will check this out!

Yes, it's brilliant. Much love. Also, this is the best Peter Serafinowicz I have ever seen (from his show, the aptly named Peter Serafinowicz Show):




aaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahaha!

haha yeah I have both series on dvd. fucking hilarious

Just downloaded and watched the first series. These guys are incredible. Reminds me a bit of certain segments of the Tim & Eric show, except this is a lot more subtle and scientific. Sulphur was my favorite.

man I did not laugh at either of these to the degree you guys are talking about. the second also seemed way funnier than the first but that's probably because it was more Tim and Eric than the first.

is it me, or is Simon Pegg in that maths episode?!
(just for about 5 seconds anyway)

probably, one of the guys who is in this is the angry housemate in Shaun of the dead

british comedy basically

it's not meant to be anything like what tim and eric do really

is it me, or is Simon Pegg in that maths episode?!
(just for about 5 seconds anyway)

i think he makes an appearance. peter serafinowicz is the roommate from shaun of the dead (he also appears in spaced)

nah that part with the THANTS/BLANTS and the guy being constantly burned is a little tim and eric. this is not surprising as tim and eric is 90% parody!

tim and eric would totally draw it out and try and add their trademark surrealism

in look around you most of the jokes like that are really quick and you can often miss some of them if you're not paying attention. ie. "april the 4th of september" in maths. even when theyre obvious they never dwell on it and continue on as if nothing ever happened.

well there's already a bit of surrealism but w/e point taken there is no STRETCHED OUT stuff I guess.

still I wonder if I am HUMOR RETARDED because idk I never really laughed let alone bust a gut and everyone else is clearly gushing over it! maybe this is my 30 Rock...

also your vid isn't available in the US.

yeah this is why i said british humour basically

this one should work plus it has all the scenes

i liked black books though and i've seen the obvious classics and i get the humor its just when panda says MY BRO AND I WERE LOSING IT or ASE says I NEVER STOPPED LAUGHING idk.

like this clip you posted i find a lot funnier than the ones ASE posted probably because im a big gay babby and i like whats going on here. did i ox you...

in a related note this is one of gw's favorite animes I found this while looking for this show on adultswim's site: http://www.adultswim.com/americaloveslists/cg_sexmoments/index.html

british comedys are really good but they love their laugh tracks. i'm pretty sure black books had one and so did father ted, but tim and eric have a foley artist that used to work for nickelodeon or something

also i'm not sure how many people have seen/heard of it i think it's big in britain, peep show. it's fantastic.
