It transcends funny, sumi.
It goes all the way past funny into excrutiatingly painful and cringe-making. IMHO. I can't watch it.
I don't fancy spending the next month trying to get librarian out of the carpet.

I watched most of it. It was hilarious, and painful. In a good way, but intensely watch-from-the-hall. I had to switch channels after the boss (what's his name?) tells his secretary that he's firing her, and then tells her it's a practical joke. I was literally squirming with embarrassment.
Edit: or, what Am-Chau said.

So, is gammon and spinach a common meal in Britain? Social/cultural connotations behind it?
Gammon stake with chips and peas. Classic pub meal. Very yummy.

So it's very "watch from the hall"?

Imagining cured pork cut into a slice the shape of a pointy oblong, surrounded by chips and peas. Are the peas mushy (shudder)?

sumi, I thought so. But definitely very funny, and sort of absurdist, in a real-life way. Am I making any sense? Should I go to bed now?

Probably. Depends who cooked 'em, but probably.

sumi, it's the Platonic essence of "watch from the hall."
Sigh...when you start using terms like "transcend" and "Platonic essence," it really is time to go to bed. Goodnight all.

Sounds like it's bedtime in Australia. Sleep well, Angus. (And Kate, if you've gone too.)

No, I'm still around, though I should be in bed, of course.
'Night, Angus!
