Outstanding Dark Comedy from the UK

This wildly funny British series was a blind pick based on a recommendation from my on-line DVD rental subscription. The first episode left me stunned - hard to believe I'd never heard of it before. The performers mesh in a way that makes the dark and crazy comedy even funnier, and the outtakes and extras (particularly Black's Puppets) are even better. I just returned my rental disks and am already in withdrawal; needless to say, I just ordered my very own copy. This series is one of the funniest I've ever seen, and worth owning and watching over and over. Highly recommended!

Brilliant series, brilliant buy!

If you like British humor, you'll love Black Books. If you're not familiar with British humor, I'd still recommend it! The jokes aren't based in English politics or deep cultural references (although there are a few), rather there are jokes about doing your taxes, cheap airplane flights, corporate jobs, getting dates, yoga, et cetera. Both discs have blooper reels, and they're hilarious. The show often has a bit of slapstick, incorporating elements of Benny Hill-like humor alongside more intellectual jokes. Altogether, the whole is eminently satisfying, and I laughed and laughed and laughed.

I ate your bees

This show is just to brilliant to be invented by an American......we just don't come up with humor this glib and interesting. There are at least 4 side splitting moments in every episode.

Funny characters and dialog but they wear thin

I am not a fan of British comedy that is heavy on slapstick so this series would naturally have some problems for me. However, the characters, especially Manny, are very funny most of the time and the dialog has some real zingers. The central character, however, does start to wear thin because he is such a slovenly idiot and so over the top most of the time. I finished viewing the lst season wondering if I could stand a second one but I think Manny might bring me around.
