"My name is Paul. I am 52 1/2 years old. This is my bathroom. I like shaving. I polish my shoes until they are very shiny. I am the general manager of Brownings Bank in London". Episode 2, series 1.
I love this sketch. It was beautifully simple but genius. Who is that actor that plays Paul?
I really didn't understand this sketch.
At all.

I'm afraid I didn't laugh during this one.
However, I do laugh during 90% of the other sketches - I still own the DVD and love it.
But sometimes, I just think "...okay." to a sketch. When this show misses, it misses by far. Bless it.

I obviously liked it and found it funny, but I also thought it had an interesting perspective. As much as we take ourselves very seriously and consider our lives highly complex, we're not all that different from when we were kids.
Lots of comedy pieces use contrasting voice-overs to make a scene funny, but this one had a simplicity to it I really appreciated.
