Matt Berry - the gentleman

[The Curmudgeon]

Fortress legend Matt Berry (he of Darkplace fame, of course) starred in a little-seen but pretty damn funny series called "Snuff Box", which also starred Mighty Boosh odd-ball Rich Fulcher.

The series takes place in a surreal version of modern Britain, where hanging still takes place (Berry and Fulcher are hangmen) and random fights often break out in shops. Apologies for the edited down clip, but somehow the word "cunt" is offensive to youtube or something..

Anyway, here's Matt Berry being a gentlemen to beautiful women, until they say the wrong thing..

"The C-word" is for some reason the singe most offensive word in the English language in America. Absolutely nobody uses it for anything other than pure shock value. Ain't that cute? I'm actually surprised that Youtube would edit it, thgoun since every other word is allowed. I shall indeed hunt this show down.

Thinking about it, it may not actually be Youtube that edited it (I don't think they edit anything, do they? If its offensive or pornographic I imagine it would just get removed). It's probably the BBC editing it for, um, "mass" consumption. Snuff Box was on about 12 midnight on BBC 3, a channel watched by about 19 people.

The "C" word is, oddly enough, used ALL THE TIME over in the UK. I remember meeting a guy on holiday who was a Brit, and we were talking about someone else, and he said, "yeah, he's alright that cunt." And I couldn't stop laughing and he had no idea why. People use it in, like, everyday speech over here. It's bizarre.

Anyway, ever wanted to learn to play the guitar? This show just has everything..
