WHY YOU SHOULD WATCH...
BEAVIS & BUTTHEAD
Beavis and Butt-head are two teenage boys, who live in the fictitious town of Highland, Texas. Each episode sees them wasting their time with sarcastic conversation, destructive behavior and making fun of MTV music videos. The series regularly features their employer Burger World, their hippie teacher David Van Driessen, elderly neighbour Tom Anderson, and nerdy girl Daria (who later had her own spinoff series).
We often see Beavis on a sugar rush running around as his alter ego The Great Cornholio demanding TP for his bunghole.

IDEAL
Johnny Vegas is just brilliant in his role as Moz, an unemployed dosser who makes a living as a smalltime dealer of marijuana in Salford, Manchester. The show is based on the comings and goings from inside Moz's high rise flat - we regularly see Nicki (Moz's girlfriend), Psycho Paul, Cartoon Head, Craig and Steve, PC, Judith (necrophiliac neighbour), Brian, Colin, and Carmel to name but a few. There are many characters but all are integral to the storyline, Moz finds himself involved in everyone's lives whether he likes it or not - and he never even leaves his flat!
WHY YOU SHOULD WATCH...
JAM
Jam is a surreal mix of weird comedy sketches from the genius mind of Christopher Morris, creator of Brass Eye and The Day Today. Themes such as death, insanity and profoundly disturbing medical professionals are combined with ambient music from Brian Eno and Aphex Twin; Jam is like nothing else you've ever seen (unless it's compared to other shows by Christopher Morris).
The programme is almost hypnotic, it has entracing qualities that have previously never existed - Jam can be likened to bleak dark Monty Python sketches with a twist of clinical insanity.

MIGHTY BOOSH
Originally a set of stage shows, The Mighty Boosh is a comic fantasy based around two friends, Vince and Howard, who go on magical adverntures together. The episodes feature elaborate musical numbers, animated skits, puppetry and various 'special effects'. Noel Fielding named the show after a comments to his brother by a Portuguese friend who, upon seeing his brothers mass of curly hair, exclaimed in a Portuguese accent "You have a mighty bush (boosh)".

MONTY PYTHON'S FLYING CIRCUS
The show that started the Monty Python phenomenon is a comedy sketch show of surreal plots, innuendos and skits with no punchline. The Monty Python team are very versatile, each playing many characters thoughout the series of different backgrounds and even sexes! There were four feature length movies from the Monty Python team 'And Now For Something Completely Different', 'The Meaning of Life', 'Life of Brian' and 'The Holy Grail'. Between 1970 and 2006 the team also released seventeen albums and two books. Also see The Rutles, created by Eric Idle and Neil Innes.
