televisual gold: BOTY

Last night I struck pure TV gold and discovered the New Zealand show Back Of The Y. Sat through about 4 episodes and laughed my ass clean off. Alas for those with only ‘council telly’ it’s carried by MTV2.

It’s been compared to jackass but it’s a different attitude, more character- and sketch-based. My best summary is to imagine a Bad Taste-era Peter Jackson getting really drunk and remaking the violent bits from Monty Python. The level of stupidity employed is really very high indeed.

Stu, Ree, you would absolutely love it. The catchphrase to end the show (adopt thick NZ accent)?

“See you cunts next week!”
