So that’s where this Numberwang meme comes from.

I don’t know how they do it, but the two guys from Peep Show manage to keep two completely different comedy shows going at the same time, with the same cast, and maintain the same quality of writing across both shows across the years.

Whereas Peep Show is one of your modern post-sitcom awkward comedic semi-serials, That Mitchell and Webb Look is a sketch comedy along the lines of Chapelle’s Show or Kids in the Hall. Unlike Peep Show, the dreaded laugh track is present. The writing and performance are legitimately hilarious enough to keep from getting too distracted.

Between Mitchell and Webb and The Catherine Tate Show, I’ve recently stumbled into a cornucopia of contemporary sketch comedy. This is splendid, joyous stuff, and a good way to let out the steam after a particularly uncomfortable episode of Peep Show.
