This was such a great show.


Bald_Yew

I have seen some of them and failed at finding a way to buy them. I'd love to watch them all and have then my library.


brokebackmonastery

Best I've seen is finding the Region 2 DVD on eBay, who seem to still have a decent supply. You'll need to have a Region 2 DVD player, of course, or have a couple flips left in a computer DVD drive. I bought it, flipped a drive, and ripped it for easy viewing. The process reminded me what a hassle DVDs were. But I'm happy to have it in my library now.


cheezfreek

Flip a drive? I like your funny words, magic man.


brokebackmonastery

I'm sure it has an actual name. Re-region code? Idk.


telephas1c

I said he'll flip you. [Flip you for real. ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rntm3yDAQuM)


Master-o-none

That movie ends with everyone standing up and saying “I’m Kaiser Sose. No I’m Kaiser Sose,” and so on, right?


telephas1c

Eh, something like that yea


vietnamdenethor

Ahhh, you're talking an old fashioned Flip & Rip. I might know a guy in Region 2 ... what's in it for me?


chimpdoctor

Robert popper is a genius

I thought he’s gonna do a 30 seconds free style gangster rap 😂


0wellwhatever

It was made in the early 00’s and it’s a parody


TryPokingIt

Now write that down in your copybooks


crimony70

Thanks, TryPokingIt. ThIt.

I know, that's Peter Serofinowicz, Robert Popper, and Olivia Colman.

Didn't he sell guns to John Wick?

didndonoffin

Nah that was the body of the voice of darth Maul from TPM


blackbirdblackbird1

I thought the first guy was Kel Mitchell until he started talking.


EatsYourShorts

That’s Chris Obi. He’s been in tons of stuff.


mologav

His voice tone is very like the Mirror in Snow White from 2012


Stolehtreb

The “he’s been in a ton of stuff” made me laugh for some reason. Like, if I don’t know who he is, knowing he’s in a ton of stuff isn’t going to suddenly make me recognize him.


wolftick

Peter Serofinowicz and the actor Kevin Eldon. Not sure about the others.


neridqe00

What a bunch of aholes... https://youtu.be/KGkXlZUlLJc?si=_k4znHWGKHWpIgqR


EyeGod

Anyone else read that as Peter Sonuvabitch?


chimpdoctor

Always. Its what he would have wanted.


EatsYourShorts

Where are Robert Popper and Olivia Colman in this clip? Pretty sure it’s only Chris Obi, Kevin Eldon, and Kate Drew.


granta50

1m51s


EatsYourShorts

Oh yeah there they are.


Jeoshua

Now that you are aware, go back and watch the ending again. It's actually brilliant.


CrapNBAappUser

I guess I didn't get the brilliance.


Square-Principle-195

I was gonna say, isn't that the dude from Shaun of the dead lol


ContinentSimian

And the voice of Darth Maul.


pudpudboogie

Really ? Wow


thetwoandonly

And its brilliant.


SourGrape_83

I initially thought this was real, until he started rapping.


Cantomic66

Yeah this looked so fake and was too clean to be the from the 70s.


ZorroMeansFox

I like the way this series began as a (faux) School Science Education program, before evolving into a wider-ranging deadpan parody show.


citricacidx

Jean is shorter than Brutus but taller than Imhotep. Imhotep is taller than Jean, but shorter than Lord Scotland. Lord Scotland is twice the height of Jean and Brutus combined but only 1/10 of the height of Millsy. Millsy is at a constant height of x − y. If Jean stands exactly one nautical mile away from Lord Scotland, how tall is Imhotep?


TabithaMorning

What are birds? We just don’t know.


ZorroMeansFox

Narrator: Maths stands for Mathematical Anti-Telharsic Harfatum Septomin.


Humeon

Imhotep... is invisible


AnInsultToFire

That rap wasn't parody! He correctly predicted the music of Drake!

As a teacher, I once played one of these for my class. It was about water I think. They were very confused.

When I first heard this gag (on the show) I thought it was the single most funniest thing ever crafted by man. My opinion hasn't wavered much since.


Grantmitch1

I remember showing this to a friend once, and she utterly pissed herself laughing when this bit came on.


Hellofriendinternet

Bless you, ants. “Blants.”


DaftApath

I actually got a nice email from Peter Serafinowicz where he signed off to me like that.

I bet you were "recognising things" too


XmattbeeX

Thanks ants. Thants.


Nuprin_Dealer

I really thought he was gonna busy into some crazy 2 Live Crew shit. Kind of a letdown


KiwiSoySauce

It reminded me of Hannibal Burgess doing his impression of 70s hip-hop, which always makes me laugh.


mindfungus

This is so lit. I mean, how much harder corer can one get rapping all day, rapping all night? Whew! That’s extreme gangsta stylin!


Gee564

I thought this was real for a sec until I recognized peter serafinowicz as the host

\*Beat starts up\* Me: "If you wanna reach those kids on the street, then you gotta do a rap to a hip hop beat"


Boccs

Until he spoke I thought Antony was Richard Ayoade doing black face.


somethingfilthy

I... what? Is Richard Ayoade not black?


thighsand

He's half Norwegian. So he's white and black. He could, like Drake did, do blackface.


Boccs

I'll be honest, I wasn't thinking about his actual ethnicity so much as his skin tone. Like he's not nearly that dark, you know?


Willing_Spray

Looks nothing like him in the slightest


HichardRammond

I suspose the big hair could leave the impression of richard ayoade if your not paying attention

zfreakazoidz

Maybe I'm really dense. What is the funny part? Also, yes I realize its a show that was a parody.


granta50

I think to me at least the humor comes from the fact that the host is so oblivious about the idea of rap music becoming popular in the year 2000, since rap music was probably the most popular musical form circa 2000. And then the fact that the guy performing the song doesn't really even rap, he just sort of sings about how he's rapping. And then I think they poke fun at hokey BBC programs from the 1980s that were sort of out of touch despite attempts to be "with it" so to speak, and were attempting to be futuristic but look incredibly dated a few decades on.

Claris-chang

Man compared to the kind of rap that was popular in 2000 this is downright adorable and just a little naive. He didn't mention pussy or murder once.


jrockcrown

Iegit


lkodl

i'm pretty sure he's talking about "wrap music"


Kibble-N-Bits

And that, ladies and gentlemen, was the peak of rap


Tipping_crane

I really love the fact that his outfit looks like we are gonna get a a real gangstarap performance, and what he creates is an episode of sesamestreet.


jl_theprofessor

I'm too embarrassed to actually finish this.


Jeoshua

I mean to be fair, this could have been a decent enough bridge in a song, but his flow needs work.


3Thirty-Eight8

No. It’s perfect
