Clip from last night's new comedy show on the BBC. Quite amusing.

YouTube - See, Bill Gates and Steve Jobs can get along!

I watched it, I cringed. How is reading a Mac Pro spec sheet funny?

It'll be much easier if you just comply.

I watched the whole show. Wish I hadn't bothered. Talk about jumping the shark, Harry.

Absolutely.


Really ran out of ideas, can't think of any characters I'd want to see again. Especially the idiot in the gym who talked about finding the £100 question on Millionaire hard .

It'll be much easier if you just comply.

Well Bill is nerdish sounding. Jobs not so much... but still kinda. It's the lisp.

No, they are British. Paul Whitehouse (Gates) and Harry Enfield (Jobs). Both famous.

Ah. Their humor must not translate as well across the pond. Probably why they're not well-known over here. Or am I just an extremely uncultured North American? Someone else weigh in. Am I just stupid?

No, they've seriously jumped the shark.

Here's some from when they used to be funny:

Well, they're funny after all! Especially Enfield, it seems. The Conjugal Rights Guide was hilarious...

I laughed a lot. A few people walked by my office and gave me a weird look.
