Like a lot of things you have to get to know the characters a bit

I only watched it because 2 people I knew both said I would love it as it's pretty much my humour. That sort of thing puts me off straight away but within about 10 seconds of the first episode it made me burst out laughing. It's quite subtle in parts. A lot is to do with expression and quiet piss taking without the other person knowing and I have witnessed people watching it and just being whooshed throughout. This scene for example is amazingly brilliant...
