There've only been two episodes so far, but my god it's fucking hilarious!

I'm with you. I think I've seen pretty much everything he's done now, if that's possible. Zach, Patton Oswalt and Louis CK are my fav comedians these days. At least, American comedians. Have you seen the HBO series 'Bored to Death'? Zach's in it, along with Jason Schwartzman and Ted Danson, of all people. Very gentle comedy, but much fun. I've been getting into that and Community of late. Oh, and "The Trip" from the UK (Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon - I've sifted a couple of clips). Feel free to drop some names of stuff you'd recommend.

Wicked, I have to dig that out, read about it when I found this video. I was introduced to Zach by my fella when he showed me The Snuggler, and I never looked back. I'm working my way up to crazy stalker fan right now

Not at all. I presume this was filmed during the Comedians of Comedy tour. The doco of that tour introduced me to Zach - brilliant stuff.

This is from "I'm Alan Partridge: Series 2". Steve Coogan at his best.

This particular episode ends with one of my under appreciated sifts.

Steve Coogan and ...who?

you need to know that Chris Morris, the guy that made it, is a fucking genius.

Also in this clip is an early Alan Partridge, the Steve Coogan character that got his own series.

And you also need to know that this show was made in 1994, it's way ahead of its time, predicting very accurately the farce that television news has become.

Check out Brass Eye and Blue Jam also.

of course, the fact that this clip only has 3 upvotes is yet another sign that the queue is fucked. This is a classic show, a landmark in British broadcasting history, the best satire ever in the universe, the sound and picture quality are ok, and there's no fucking lolcats. If this isn't Sift material then I really don't know what the fuck i am doing here.

Please permanently requeue.

Thanks Plastique...The Sift needs more Steve Coogan!

One of my favourite Chris Morris / Steve Coogan sketches...

That was fast NickyP! Then again, so was my vote & comment!
We need more of Manchester & Factory Records...(plus Steve Coogan!)
