We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

Do you guys get Peep Show or The Mighty Boosh over there? They're my two current favourites.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Jars!

I'm about 394032903 episodes behind on Peep Show. Is it out on DVD?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Jars, a couple of my friends have been trying to get me to watch Boosh for months.

What little of Peep Show I've seen has been funny. It depends if you can cope with the concept of seeing something entirely from the character's point-of-view (literally) and hearing their thoughts.

Yeah, up to Season two of Peep Show is out on dvd, I think. And I know it's what people say about shows all of the times, but it's funny because it's true. Painfully so.

And P-C, your life would be incalculably enhanced by watching of the Boosh. DO IT!

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

I have a friend who absolutely adores Boosh. Never encountered it myself, though.

Oh SA, you should definitely give it a try. It takes a few episodes for a lot of people to get into the humour, I think. But it's oh so worth it.

A clip, to get you in the mood, perhaps?

Not so interesting that it needed saying twice.

Jars! Jars!

Sorry, I'm just excited to see somebody I know.

Kev! I haven't been about much. Turns out Northern Ireland is not a nice place to live. I'd always suspected...
