Seriously?

Yeah seriously. Hated it.

Fair enough
Have you ever watched any Brass Eye?

yes, that's what surprised me. I love Brass Eye but I hated the film
I just found it distasteful. I think they lost me when they blew up the crow. The only thing I found remotely amusing was when they convinced that guy to start jogging like a spastic because he saw them doing it. Oh and "fuck mini babybel!"

I was a little upset by the crow being blown up, for obvious reasons
But I still found it fucking funny. Mind you, I found Monkey Dust too gruesome when I first watched it, and now I think it's the funniest thing that ever appeared on BBC3. To each their own, I guess.

I love Monkey Dust
I love the guy who lies about his whereabouts and the Meatsafe Murderer only I never done it.

In the later series
they introduced the paedofinder general, who never fails to make me piss myself with laughter. It's a crying shame they never issued series 2 and 3 on DVD.

Thinking about it though, they had their own suicide bomber sketch in the later series - which I thought was probably the inspiration for Four Lions. Not quite as near the knuckle as Chris Morris' effort, but still bloody funny.
