That person reading a blog post about a "relentlessly hilarious" and greatly missed television show? That's you, that is.
That guy laughing so hard at clips of "The Mary Whitehouse Experience" that he thought he had injured his spleen? That's me, that is.
"The Mary Whitehouse Experience" was a British sketch comedy show that appeared both on radio and TV in the late '80s/early '90s. It starred David Baddiel, Rob Newman, Steve Punt and Hugh Dennis.
It has been described as "relentlessly hilarious" on more than one occasion.
One segment, called "History Today," purported to be a discussion between two esteemed history professors. Their discussions always descended into name calling of the lowest order, much like a pair of troublesome schoolboys. Their insults often ended with "that's you, that is," which became a celebrated catchphrase from the show.
Take a peek at it here.
Another recurring segment involved the unfortunate Ray, a man afflicted with a disorder that makes everything he says sound sarcastic.
The show made fun of American ignorance of "so-cher," seen here.
The show also -- famously -- poked fun at ROBERT SMITH of THE CURE, often portraying him singing nursery rhymes or children's songs in the decidedly downbeat style of "Pornography"-era Cure. The Cure front man shared in the laughs -- he made a surprise appearance on the show's final episode.
Hunt around on YouTube for the clip of "Robert Smith" singing "Head, Shoulders Knees and Toes."
You'll thank me. Your spleen might not.
