Monkey Dust #1 (S1-E1-Pt.1 of 3)

January 6, 2009 – 3:31 am

An animated dark humor sketch comedy show from England. This is the first of a total of 53 segments from 18 episodes(3 seasons). I plan to present at least one 10 min. segment, in order, every day or so.
Wikipedia had this to say-”Monkey Dust is a British animated TV series that satirises the darker side of life in the United Kingdom. It deals with taboo subjects and has drawn controversy for its portrayal of murderers, pedophiles and single parents.The first episode was aired on BBC Three on February 9, 2003 and there have been three series to date — the third began airing on January 4, 2005.

Each episode features animation by several different companies including Slinky Pictures, Nexus, Sherbet and Picasso Pictures, but is linked by recurring themes and jokes, and by seamless transitions between sketches. The episodes are untitled but instead are known by the characters introduced or the one-off sketches included. The principal writers and creators of the series were Harry Thompson and Shaun Pye, although other contributors are responsible for a significant proportion of the work; sometimes collaborating with Thompson and/or Pye; sometimes contributing fully-formed sketches to the show. Contemporary worries about child protection following the Soham Murders led to a number of characters and skits being eliminated.[citation needed] A short overview of the main characters, called a nocturne, set in the various characters’ bedrooms with no dialogue and a depressing accompanying song, usually precedes the final section.

  16. and now you have just gone and done the same. Very easy to hide behind an anonymous user profiles and bring others down isn’t it?

  17. Ironically, considering your claim that MD is “trying too hard”, you are trying too hard to sound smart. You aren’t. I loled.

    By Dagorath1123 on Jan 6, 2009

  18. /agreed.

  19. why don’t you stop being so hard to be clever and articulate and develop a sense of humor?

    By scottmasson01 on Jan 6, 2009

  20. Roger says Digimon is rubbish? I’ll hunt him down.
    This show is really funny, I don’t know why I haven’t heard of it before.

  22. South Park tries to hard to be funny. This is just a slightly exggerated view of the worst aspects of Great Britain. Amyparking, I’m new here and I’m already tired of you crack-inspired posting. Go smoke some seaweeed.

    By Hobomannequinmanno on Jan 6, 2009

  23. This is different to south park as its more dark.Plus i think this type of comedy is also different..

  24. while I agree that Little Britain and Mighty Boosh are total shit, this ain’t that great either. trying too hard to tap into the craved *knowing coolness* and *alternativeness* territory, MD has little to offer beyond this admirable ambition. there is a similar scene of internet chat with a peado in South Park, only there it’s funny and inspired

    By amyparking on Jan 6, 2009

  25. I was talking about this today. Its something you catch by chance at like 2 o clock in the mourning and turns out to be brilliant. This deserves more acclaim that the mighty boosh and little britain got.

  26. as far as im aware, this is no longer shown, as it was banned from tv, from being too violent.
