The Mind of Herbert Clunkerdunk

Some of the funniest and most inventive comedy TV I have ever see with jokes crammed in to each short episode. The fact that the episodes are only 10-15 minutes long adds to the enjoyment as the energy never lets up.

The extraordinarily wild mind of Spencer Jones is frequently misused on television - with him frequently popping up in vehicles that don't really suit him. Ultimately this is because at his core he is a very very silly man - as evidenced by his affably surreal stand-up.

A comedy short, then followed by these brief and brilliant series finally gives you a tiny glimpse into his televisual potential. In these concentrated little chunks he is a kaleidoscope of glorious madness. Both series do a good job of replicating the original flawless short - so a mixture of daily anxieties, musical interludes, talking props and the ever-present boggle-eyed wonder that is Dominic Coleman's terrifying Jonny Wallop. Even his equally idiosyncratic children appear in tiny, bizarre cameos. No scene is wasted. Every minute is a triumph.

Seems like a good offspring of traditional bizarre British comedy; such as Vic & Bob and The Boosh.

If you find bizarre entertaining then you'll love.

If you expect to find it funny based on traditional views then this is not for you.

For me it defied clear definition, which it achieves effortlessly. It's so surreal I'm unsure if it gets itself or not. A child's weird dream.

I may appeal to different thinkers more than the typical majority.

As a side note I'd recommend This is Jinsy, a masterpiece of Britishy nonsense.

I liked the bit where the girl did that thing like a balloon going big like pfffffff pffff pffffffff till she was big like a house and then Prprprprprprprphft! all around the room like a squirrel, but like a squirrel that was being just like a balloon going Prprprprprprprpft!

I've been looking forward to this ever since I saw the pilot episode. Ten minutes of silliness, playfulness, surrealness, songs & giggles. I chuckled a lot more in ten minutes than many entire 'comedy' films. If you're happy to indulge your inner child, then definitely worth a go.
