This shit is hilarious.

Meh. It was probably just your high.

I mean, fine, he's clearly making social statements left and right, but I almost feel I need to be particularly pathetic in order to sympathize with him 100%.
I don't remember if this it was in the first episode or in a subsequent episode, but I was particularly disappointed with the segment involving people being informed of perfect things to say by third parties, and how taking away their ability to blindly regurgitate information reduces everyone to the same twathood. This is a sentiment I've run across often, and it's invariably come from incompetent whiners trying to make excuses for their own lack of motivation to learn things and generally succeed in life. Like, no, buddy, people who say intelligent things can do so because they've taken the time to learn them, rather than spending all of their time focusing their attention on their inadequacies; they're not paralyzed the way you are.

Iannucci helped create alan partridge. Therefore, this must be top notch.

In fairness: I don't watch this for the social statements. I get enough social statements from George Carlin and South Park. I watch this because when people with British accents do dumb things, it's funny. Suki's right: some of the stuff they imply is pretty weak.
