The Peter Serafinowicz Show- C/D

His own show was, unfortunately, not really a showcase of his best work. I think they took too much advantage of his gift for impersonation. Which is kind of undeniable. But he has a really funny, surreal sense of humor (e.g. Look Around You) that wasn't as present in the show as it should've been. I think I just like him. His Twitter is one of my faves.

The Butterworth stuff was the best thing about the sketch show. Bon bon bon bons.

"fluffy ruffs...hoisin crispy owl..."

"mystery meat...pork cylinders...during-dinner mints...garlic pudding...pints o'cream..."

I meant Butterfield, obv.

"Christmas Man..."

He and Robert Popper are going to be working with Tim Heidecker & Eric Wareheim soon. Expect to see that absurdist streak fleshed out.

Quiches Lorainne!

the 50 impressions thing he did is milk-spit hilarious.

KFC thing reminds me that he is capable of just KILLING me.

The moment I realised what he was actually doing was the moment the whole thing went stratospheric.

So wtf is he doing with that KFC thing? I don't think I properly get it and I'm still crying.

I don't know what he's trying to do but by the time he gets to "cut it off, cut it off...place on plate" I'm losing it.

Cutty.. Cut! Cutty.....

I love that stuff.

channelling michael alexander st john's blue jam stuff

the wogan stuff has kind of dominated my life for a long time.

would 'things that just have to be peter serafinowicz sketches' be the closest UK equivalent to 'things that just have to be tim and eric sketches'? some of the forgotten 70s and 80s tv series that are broadcast on Talking Pictures TV look so much like they must be extremely dexterous spoofs

also the adverts they show for DVD or CD compilations that list a dozen or so beloved entertainers of yesteryear, about 50% of whom are obviously made up

I've never heard of Bognor or indeed a lot of the TV stuff they broadcast, making me think a lot of them were only shown on regional TV.

lol what

also yeah serafinowicz/popper maps onto tim/eric p well

Bognor is played by Inspector Slack circa Joan Hickson Marple era.

youtube has the opening and closing two episodes, gives a bit of the flavour

tbf it seems to be a light-comedy/mystery hybrid thing, along the lines of Lovejoy or something?

Ron Gob is: Bognor!

there's a podcast
