I know this may not be news to everyone, but Channel 4′s On Demand player is available on YouTube. More happily, it contains one of the greatest comedy sketch shows known to man: Absolutely.
No, that’s the name of the programme, Absolutely. As the site itself says: “Many years ago, before The Fast Show, Big Train or Little Britain, came this influential Scottish sketch show. A splendid blend of comedy craft and surreal lunacy”.
I’ll second the surreal lunacy remark, but the comedy mostly comes from making the normal slightly bizarre, such as the council meeting of Stoneybridge Council in French. And Frank Hovis’ wisdom whilst he’s sitting on the toilet is truly inspirational…
So, take some time out and watch some shows, it’s rather brilliant. If you’d like to buy the DVD from Amazon containing all four series, please use the link below – I get money!

Bloody vuvuzelas… Over 2 million views is quite impressive

I’m a big Family Guy fan, and enjoyed their take on Star Wars, titled Blue Harvest. Here’s their next offering, Something Something Something Dark Side:

Seriously, you think you’ve seen it all, and yet people still come up with creative, amazing ways of entertaining everyone. This, from the Swedish techno-pop duo called Rymdreglage, is a real “retro” blast. If you grew up with loading games off tape, you’ll enjoy it:

This is just sheer genius, it’s basically Magnum P.I.’s opening with clips from Star Wars, and is very well done:

I like techno music (grew up in the late 80s / early 90s, lots of cool Chicago House and Electro), and I kind of love informercials, so this is just dandy!
Thanks to Darren Holden for the link
