Funny sketch comedy that's funny

[Silent Majority]

Neat - I'll try an episode of that.

Not technically sketch comedy, but that Guffman but I posted reminded me of this incredible outtake. I know they had to cut it for pacing reasons, but this is the best satire of actor-written audition monologues ever.

That just, you know, gets to the heart of the human condition and shit. You know?

ATTENTION!

Not in the top ten Mitchell & Webb sketches, but man, it struck my funny bone just now:

I had a hearty chuckle.

The Josh Fenderman dance is one of the top things that Mr. Show ever did. Funny the first time; funny the thousandth time.

My ex and I once watched that sketch at least 10 times in a row and never, ever stopped laughing.

So shame on me but I've never seen Mr Show.

I'll definitely do that, not a problem if I watch the new stuff first is it?

I was in the company of a group of people aged 35 - 50 last week and none of them had heard of Arrested Development.

Not at all. As several of us have concluded, the new material fits extraordinarily well with the original show. Same type of humour, premises, etc. The only notable difference (other than age, less hair, more fat and wrinkles) is that Mr. Show linked its skits with sometimes forced connectors. Not as much of that in the new series.

You were in Guantanamo last week?
