Oh Corpsey has covered this already.Also a loser in almost every field except financially... no friends or even connection with other people etc plus he loves Huey Lewis.
What about You've Been Framed? People falling over, that really speaks to me
The problem is comedy, that power dynamic, the role of the comedian and the expectation of the audience... makes me feel awful, horrible setup
Why? The first thought for me would be that miserable people might like some happy comedy to cheer them up.But I think humour is pretty culturally specific too, basically everyone's miserable in England for a significant portion of the year so we need cathartic miserable humour.
You reckon? I think the last series was the darkest, those last few episodes and that ending; no fanfare, no finale, just Sophie drunk in the kids' ballpool, Hans leaving for Macedonia and the main characters too depressed to acknowledge his goodbye as they slouch on the couch contemplating their unemployed and friendless future.I rewatched peepshow recently and noticed how depressing it was, I think they realised it was getting a bit much and toned it down in the last few seasons.
