Ads for Assy's Scion/Used Car dealership began to appear in Season 2 of the show and are the result of an exclusive sponsored placement of the Scion product

i didn't like it at first but several months later it had wormed its way in my head. only 6 eps. the theme song is hypnotizing and weaves in and out of every episode with subtle changes.

i feel like a lot of the show is about memory and how memories change.

the peaks of the show are truly awful to truly sublime its extremely difficult to describe to anyone. i'm more interested in how the show is written, in the ways that tiny bits of story are interwoven into something like a sketch comedy show mixed with real drama - kind of like the league of gentlemen is tied to royston vasey - this show is tied around two hangmen.

i actually didn't expect snuff box to have a plot, that's my favorite aspect of league

i think that's really what makes it work, that there's a comedic plot at work not just horrible people being horrible to other horrible people

there's one excruciating early segment with a man being led down various corridors for several minutes only to be beaten by a gang of men holding "golf sale" signs.

or the one where guys are rapping about having babies.

just painful to watch but juxtaposed with other scenes creates something else entirely.

there is a plot. the shopkeepers want to keep everyone out of royston vasey - ie the new road. jobs are low. the ****** cab driver is awaiting a sex change. the aunt and uncle are breeding frogs with a relative in town. and it all takes place in royston vasey. its a lot like northern exposure as far as multiple plots go.

i love their sense of payoff, the story arcs usually result in doom, like the toad breeders wind up being captured by their own children

i know, but part of me suspects after watching the entire run of episodes that things like this are done intentionally. it's supposed to be tedious at times.

idk if you've checked out "the royle family" yet but i suspect you might not like it either. it's not heavy on jokes and punchlines either.
