But does it work on television?
Given their success, its little surprise that they have been adapted for TV.
The format they chose is perfect, and the animation team has done a great job here.
The Hanna Barbera-style animation that has been adopted lends itself well to the show.
The already extremely funny material is enhanced by the imagery that accompanies it.
The comedy derives from three incredibly funny people discussing a variety of topics unscripted.
The dynamic between the trio is superb, as was evident long before the podcasts run.
One thing I do agree with him on, though, is his stance on slippers.
Just use socks in the house and certainly dont wear slippers out in the street.
Given the success of the first series, a second is expected to air sometime next year.
They each last for a little over a minute and are incredibly funny.
Also included is a discussion between the three that aired on Channel 4 in advance of the series run.
