Ridiculous, silly, chaotic, absolute comedy genius. I love it just as much at 24 as I did as a child. So many familiar faces (Marcus Brigstock, Marek Larwood, Nick Mohammed to name a few) that I feel privileged to have grown up watching, but the writing is what sets it apart. I truly believe this is one of the greatest sketch shows of all time containing some of the greatest sketches ever written for TV that are just as funny today as they were back then. I wish it was available online somewhere so I could watch it all but until then I've just got a few episodes that are on youtube. If you've never seen it, and you have an opportunity to watch this show, you MUST.

The satire subgenre uses humor, irony, exaggeration, and parody to critique and comment on various aspects of society, culture, politics, institutions, and human behavior. Satires aim to provoke thought, highlight absurdities, and expose hypocrisy by presenting familiar situations in a distorted or exaggerated manner. They entertain while also providing social commentary and encouraging viewers to reflect on the subjects being criticized.
