HMOG, did no one see the COLBERT REPORT with Sean Penn and the metaphor-off?
Not only was it a massive show of Sean being an "it getter", but it was a pretty nice "fuck you sideways with a chainsaw" to the South Park guys (implicitly - given how they brag about their derision of anybody in Hollywood who expresses any political viewpoints and how they are so humorless). I seriously hope the promised hyperbole-off with George Clooney happens, because I think George and Stephen interacting would be a thing of beauty.

I've been putting it off because I've never seen anything to indicate Sean Penn has a sense of humour. I take it it wasn't as painful to watch as I'd anticipated?

Well, it's not Spicolli funny, but it was pretty damn funny. I was kinda dreading it myself, and, yes, apparently Sean does have a sense of humor.
As my tagline testifies, I loved the shit out of it.
It was the funniest I've ever seen Penn, FWIW. I think it helped that he was basically playing a character named Sean Penn, the way that Colbert plays a character named Stephen Colbert.
But even when I'm really enjoying an episode, I can't get the feeling out of my head that they're all being way too nice.
I enjoy the American Office a lot, a lot but the thing that has made me rewatch the English Office to death is how keen it is to group dynamics when, within them, things get ugly. That's partly what gives the English series the edge for me because, aside from having concerns the US doesn't have, the sweetness of Pam's voicemails for Jim were never going to be couched in a moment like Tim getting his shoe thrown over a pub.
Also, minority opinion: I didn't like the Christmas Special. It seemed so contrary to the spirit of the series.

I saw it by accident, last night (early -- it must have been a re-run). Penn not only has a sense of humor, he had a sense of humor about himself in the metaphor-off. He's no comedian, but it wasn't painful to watch. It was of the good.
I saw it last night and thought it was hilarious. Robert Pinsky seemed to be having a great time, too. "And this one is worth ten million points."

I watched it twice actually. Funny sketch.
Just saw it today. Wonderful - and with the God Machine noises! Woo!
