The joy of the internet is discovering things like this... this is fantastic... I come from the world of the young ones, brass eye, peep show etc and this is awesome.... dunno how I missed it!
Armando is god of british comedy. Rarely seen but his work is everywhere... The Day Today, Brass Eye, Alan Partridge, the Thick of it... and this probably my favourite
Just checked and it looks like Iannucci answered this on his twitter. "We built an office in a warehouse, and then hired two actual elephants to ride through it. No tricks." Bless you Armando.
I got a little sad seeing the old Riverside Studios lobby and bar there. Many happy memories of going to Doctor Who events there before they smashed it down.
7% of people can’t imagine a monk made out of apples. Because they have aphantasia. They cannot create mental images. Almost half of all people do not have an internal dialog and only about 45%of people can invent new images or make composite images in their imagination. The way people think is so fundamentally different from one another. That the impact it has in their lives, choices, wants and needs puts trivial differences like gender, age, race in the shade. Depeche Mode were wrong. “People are people so why should it be….” But no. People are massively different at the most fundamental level. Their minds and imaginations.

Been a fanb of Ianucci and his 'crew' for years and often think that during creative meetings there must be a lot of ''..that's just stupid..'' - knowing what's stupid and what's genius is a rare skill often poorly executed by twats
What about the elephant copping a feel of the Management Consultant's tit? It's showing real CEO potential and should be fastracked to Management Consultant Management.

Just discovered Armando Iannucci. Holy fckn balls he is brilliant. Where have I been?!
Comedy like it should be done. Priceless xxx
Absolute genius. Who would have thought an Einstein on the Beach style opera about Paul Okenfold fans at Ibiza would be so good?
oaky's on the decks!
How have I never seen this before...brilliant!!
"As the baritones lit their farts, I wondered what was wrong with our imagination"
Armando is a genius at comedy.
22:24 - The children's play bit was so amazingly dark and surreal! 😲
Iannucci is in a rare category. I've no clear idea what that category is called, but am fairly sure it must exist.
haha brilliant, time trumpet was comedy gold too
adrian meyer 👍
Epic TV from Armando Trev and us
The year is 2023 and Mike Oldfield has released Tubular Bells 4. Thanks Hugh
I can't pick a favourite bit, it's just too good.
This is really staggeringly good.
he's a genuis you know he's gonna say something surreal the Moroccan post office then his reaction!
Will anybody ever top Armando's genius?
Arken never ever
The only close prodigy was Limmy but he never really broke out after his series.
What do you thing about the Mitchell and Webb Situation?
@@Richard_is_cool Not a bad comparison actually although find them a little tiring after a while.
@@keyboarddancers7751 The Look is worse, yes. But the Situation handles that quite well.

"It's your funeral..."
Damn, son.

Hi! I'm Ed Winchester!
How on earth did they make the elephant sections, the CGI is so realistic
I've had enough.
Ignore the elephant. It's just an elephant.
It looks like you've never seen a bloody elephant before in a board room.
Just checked and it looks like Iannucci answered this on his twitter. "We built an office in a warehouse, and then hired two actual elephants to ride through it. No tricks." Bless you Armando.
Yeah, the elephants are clearly real.
"Ignore the elephant!" is an underrated line
I got a little sad seeing the old Riverside Studios lobby and bar there. Many happy memories of going to Doctor Who events there before they smashed it down.
That WAS a nice Vauxhall Carlton.
8:37 a puppet show about the Morrocan post office!!
“I don’t go out now, I’ve eaten all my CD’s”
Soooo good!
7:24 - I'm afraid the Priest's head was far too small for me to make out his facial expressions! 😂
'Piss Flaps' literally made me lol. It's gold
Did anyone recognise the Federation Communications officer from the Blake’s 7 episode “Rumours of Death”? Just me?

"you confused sod"
less than a minute later: "damn! standard lamps know how to drive cars"
Umm... actually I am a confused sod.
20:18 is on point.
Swearing in cress is groundbreaking.

David Blunkett
@@abandonstrings are you sure? i dont see it...

18:53 he should have mentioned he's British and black, as well. That's definitely worth at least $22
