Fucking funny, did anyone watching via digital turn over to watch the 15 minute mini extra thing which showed what was going on with the Tories at the same time?

I don't get this show - it reads funny, but it doesn't make me laugh at all

some genius lines,
Orang Utan do you like armando inaccuucciieucuacaccc's other stuff?
im a fan from partridge so will always find bits funny.
pick of the lines:
"those were good bisuits" in sad, slow voice from "julius"
something like, "a man can't survive on just jaffa cakes, trust me, ive tried"
"i need to tell the wolrd", cleaner
"wait, who do you mean by the world?", head scot bloke
"the news of the world", cleaner
and all the stuff about that guy with a small head
or ben laiden, audience not knowing he has a blinking problem:
"we'll botox his eyes open, that'll stop the press calling him blinky ben"

I like Ianuccis's collaborative efforts like Partidge and The Day Today but I hate his columns as they're so unfunny.mtbskalover said:

It works on the Alan Partridge level but also is fucking funny if you've ever worked in any political party or know the inner workings of them...
I always enjoy watching this programme. It's razor sharp, but it doesn't make me laugh.
I liked the line about The Independent having an unfair advantage when it comes to breaking news because it just randomly sticks a different 'issue' story on it's front page each day.

Glen's breakdown was fucking ace.
"What do you know about Hitler? Oh he had a fucking moustache and lived over there."
"You're on the last chopper out of Saigon, I'm having it up the arse with ho chi minh."
Ollie's laughing behind the filing cabinet if you're sad enough to watch that closely, which I am.

Being out of the country and having only a half-decent interweb connection, I don't want to read any of this thread and spoil the surprise. Though I've heard so much about it online and from mates in the UK, I've only managed to see the first series so far, cos they just brought it out on DVD.
It's fucking genius, astonishingly brilliant. Thank christ Armando Ianucci is on this earth, brave enough to make comedy unashamedly aimed at the intelligent and informed. With Chris Morris quiet, Baby Cow Productions being a bit hit and miss, that's a rare thing these days. Without him, we'd be condemned to forcing ourselves to laugh at endless fucking series of 'My Hero' or '2.4 Children'.
Great to hear Langham is in the frame for the return. Can't imagine it without him - what's it like (in general I mean, without giving too much away)?

The main feature was alright, but the red button bonus bit was MUCH better imo - genius in the LOL sense.
