i bought the season 1 dvd before i went on the road. i can't actually watch it anymore. i think i have become too empathic to watch.

Anyone know exactly what this is, e.g. 10 minute 'shorts' or an actual series? This Sun article says "Highlights of his gut-bustingly funny musings and outrageous anecdotes are being packaged together for a brand new web series on fostersfunny.co.uk" - highlights? Needless to say, I'm looking forward to this esp since Fosters aren't having anything to do with it (unlike Will Arnett/Orbit (or Wrigleys?) "content")

just ahead i'd say of the appaling sex scene in the dark in series 1.
― piscesx, Monday, 1 November 2010 00:07 (thirteen years ago) link
Series 2 def had to grow on me a lot but to me now they're both as great as each other. Some flashes of utter genius in there, Sonia and space/judge/Bono/alien thing had me cracking up, the whole bit where he goes to Bono's house (my friend got married there; she didn't understand why it was Bono's house), Michael and the Bond movie marathon... lovely stuff.

― F-Unit (Ste), Monday, 1 November 2010 00:32 (thirteen years ago) link
My favourite bit from season 2 is in that bond episode when he douses the caravan in Sunny Delight, pretends to light a match then runs away. I get giggles just thinking about it. I think Sunny Delight must be the funniest drink.
