The second surreal comedy show put together by Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer, following ''[[Vic Reeves Big Night Out]]''. Considered to be some of Vic and Bob's best work. Had two series, in 1993 and 1995.

* [[Absurdity Ascendant]] - Always the case with Vic and Bob.
** Particularly noticeable in the parodies of TV shows, which insert completely random aspects as often as they actually play on real characteristics of the people and shows involved. For example, Melvyn Bragg of ''The South Bank Show'' is obsessed with his bicycle, Hugh Scully of ''The Antiques Roadshow'' is [[Everything's Better with Monkeys|constantly surrounded by stuffed monkeys]], and John Craven of ''Countryfile'' is a lecherous pervert who always finishes every sentence in a [[Doctor Who|Dalek-esque]] monotone yell.
