Inspired by the return of sketch show comedy to British television in the form of the surprisingly satirical Mitchell and Webb Are Not Helping, Jo and Adam go on a whistle-stop tour of British sketch show comedy and even have an argument (live on air!) about whether there is something intrinsically satirical about the sketch show format. They also check in on the alarming satire-related events taking place across the Atlantic, with some blaming South Park for the tragic death of Charlie Kirk, and others observing that some of the bullet casings used in his assassination were etched with messages from the hugely popular satirical video game Helldivers 2. Adam also reflects on his recent visit to the Storm Museum of Humour and Satire in Copenhagen and Jo shares a charming breakfast update about a Toast Man.
