WEEKEND WATCHING: LOOK AROUND YOU MAKES ITS U.S. DEBUT
Unlike last time’s Weekend Watching, this one’s something you’ll have to actually tune your TV to: this weekend (at the very enviable time slot of Sunday at 1am — set your Tivos, probably) will see the Adult Swim debut of BBC2 comedy Look Around You, an Offworld favorite from Robert Popper and Peter Serafinowicz.
A pitch perfect parody of yesteryear’s ‘technology of tomorrow, today’ programs (if you can follow the chronology there), I offer the most relevantly Offworld-ian bit above as a taste, and, once you’re finished with that, an emulated version of 80′s classic Diarrhea Dan, the F. Scott Fitzgerald-inspired toilet-based game featured in the clip.

Just remember: people always like the toilet-based games.
Thanks, Brandon.

By Sunday, they mean the night following Sunday, i.e. Monday morning.
Weird, both the trailer and the special report you’ve linked to are from the much weaker second series of the show. See the second paragraph (and embedded video) of this article for more info on the first series – http://www.piranhamagazine.com/news/new-heroes-of-comedy/; which followed a completely different, and much more unconventional format.
It looks like what Tim and Eric’s crap tastic show was trying to be, but done well. I’m watching!
