EP82. The Grinch who Stole Satire: A Christmas Feast of Partridge, Plur1bus, Dead Man & Toast
About this episode
Jo and Adam present their annual festive sketch, exploring the state of satire through various comedic works.
Jo and Adam are back with their annual festive sketch, this year titled “The Grinch Who Stole Satire” : a cheerfully mischievous look at irony, earnestness, and why people keep declaring satire dead. Along the way, they explore the extraordinary new sci-fi satire Plur1bus , which imagines the horror of a world where everyone is happy; the satirical fuel behind Netflix’s cosy crime hit Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery ; and Alan Partridge’s latest appearance in How Are You, It’s Alan (Partridge) . Add festive banter, Christmas cheer, and the long-awaited return of everyone’s favourite recurring character, Toast Man, and you’ve got a properly festive Smith & Waugh feast of satire. Pass the peer reviewed mince pies.
