Free full seasons of the British comedy/game show I force everyone to watch if they’re in my home!
It’s clever! It’s silly! It forces you to think things like “how would I catch a single pea in my mouth from a catapult?” It’s introduced me to so many great comedians (e.g. Sophie Duker, Sam Campbell, Fatiha El-Ghorri)
Plus there’s something so funny to me about the creator of the show (Alex Horne) getting absolutely dunked on by the host (Greg Davies) in every episode. I just love it. I recommend Season 16 to start—the cast is so chaotic.

📺When I was eleven, my grandparents lived in Cyprus. I'd go and visit them each summer. Most days were blistering hot, and there was nothing to do. Eventually, we found a DVD rental place in town with a bizarre collection of DVDs and PlayStation 2 games. It was there that I first came across the cultural detritus of the early 2000s. The Jackass TV series, the CKY tapes, the first couple seasons of Dudesons and a bunch of bootleg skate wipeout comps. That summer did irreparable damage to my mushy little brain. Mixed in among those DVDs was the first season of Dirty Sanchez.
Dirty Sanchez pushed things further.
Imagine an alternate universe version of Jackass, with no budget, where everybody's a Welsh pisshead. Five minutes into the first episode, I knew I was watching something different. The camera work was shoddy. The pranks/stunts were stripped back. The stars were irredeemable pricks. The lack of framing or gimmicks meant that every action had to be more brutal than the last. From Dainton slamming pushpins into his forehead to an unedited full-frontal shot of Pritchard getting the head of his cock pierced, it was pure, unhinged, masochism. I was obsessed.
The show somehow managed to rack up 4 seasons and a film. Each season upped the production quality and tried to implement some kind of narrative structure to the episodes. The latter seasons still wipe the floor with other similar shows in regards to pushing boundaries and showing some absolutely foul shit, but lack some of the the off-the-cuff charm of the first series that makes it so endearing to this day.
An absolute triumph of car crash TV, upon a recent rewatch, it's still a hilarious, white-knuckle shitshow of a viewing experience. The type of show that could only have come from that brief period in the early 00s where it felt like culture was on a death race to the bottom in search of the dumbest shit you could possibly broadcast. Whether or not it was appropriate viewing for an 11-year-old is up for debate, but if nothing else, it poses the question: 'How the fuck was this on television?' and I can't recommend it highly enough.

☠️Name a better show, I dare you!!! It has everything from strong friendships to hotties in the nude to pure Marx Brothers style comedy through wild stunts. And they dressed themselves, which is pretty much the inspiration for how everyone dresses now. They wanted us to laugh, and there’s nothing nicer than laughter. Start from episode one and watch the entire thing. My favorite skit is Roller Disco Truck. I’ve laughed so hard at that show I’ve jumped up and down on my couch hugged by joy.

My husband and I only send each other unhinged stickers from things we‘ve seen in the wild. Here’s a harrowing example from some subway station tilework in Coney Island
