Did anyone else see this last night? It was on E4 at half 10. It basically consists of a guy phoning people up and having stupid conversations, such as pretending to be a nigerian businessman and asking for bank details. In another sketch he phoned a restaurant to as if anyone looking like his wife was in there cos he thought she was having an affair, and he was outside the place filming the person on the other end of the phone. He also called a mobile phone shop to enquire about phones for people with no thumbs.

The whole thing is animated with still photos with moving mouths in a Monty Python kind of way, and some of them are very funny. It's hard to describe properly, but it's in a similar vein to Trigger Happy TV. It made me chuckle a lot, but I doubt it'll remain too funny for long because there are only so many gags that he can repeat before they become boring. Anyway, it's worth checking out if you're a little bored or tired and want some cheap laughs.

I saw this ages ago somewhere. Can't remember where, but it was on late night TV. Didn't find it funny at all, but I'm kind of glad it's there because at least it's showing up all these hoaxers.

Seems a milder version of Victor Lewis Smith from TV Offal. Doesn't really do it for me, nor did Trigger Happy TV - I always empathise too much with the victims.
