This is the Apple Shop sketch from Episode 5 of Stewart Lee’s Comedy Vehicle. It’s the funniest thing I’ve seen in a long time…

    Sorry, but I just watched that Apple Shop thing and it was awful and not funny at all. Admittedly, I did smile a bit when he smashed into the camera and ripped down the background but the rest was just dull and boring and went on for too long. Everyone’s entitled to their opinion and if I’m the only one who didn’t like it, fine. I hate being negative but I really don’t get why people think this is so funny and not a blatant rip off of Monty Python-style sketches with a (not so) hilarious twist at the end.

      Don’t feel bad, I didn’t think it was particularly funny either. Maybe it’s a British thing?

    And yes it is Kevin Eldon, the genius behind the voice of Hugh Gape in ‘I am not an animal’ if you havent seen it look it up, it’s worth it!!!!

    Where’d you buy the soundtracks? I live in Toronto and have been searching for a good classic soundtrack shop for a long time.
