What is SNUFF BOX? It s the legendary BBC series written by and starring Britain s Matt Berry (The IT Crowd, The Mighty Boosh) and American Rich Fulcher (Funny or Die Presents, The Sarah Silverman Program) that only aired once yet instantly achieved entered cult infamy. It s a combination of depraved sitcom about a pair of jovial hangmen and twisted sketch comedy ala Monty Python, filled with bad first dates, time travel, sex, whiskey, awkward moments, random beatings, snappy musical numbers, one very long white hall, rampant swearing and other pleasures. It s the show critics have called one the best kept secrets in the history of British comedy , now on DVD for the first time ever in America!

Berry and Fulcher; the most unsung comedy duo?
The first time I watched this I thought "This is pretty good stuff". Then I started showing it to friends... by the third time I watched the series I realized what I thought was bronze was most defiantly gold.
The comedy is dark and surreal, the content mature, and music is genius.
If your a fan of either Berry's work in 'Garth Merenghi's Darkplace' or Fulcher's Bob Fossil from the 'The Mighty Boosh'... then defiantly pick up this DVD.
*I have the R2 (British) version of this disc.

This series is genius, and gets better and better with subsequent viewings.
When I first saw it I had the same reaction many have - prolonged mild confusion punctuated by moments of humor. Thank heaven my fondness for Matt Berry and Rich Fulcher compelled me to persevere because as I kept watching I realized a brilliant cumulative musical-comedic nexus was slyly building. The episodes became funnier and funnier as I was drawn into their delicious world of drunken sex, self-loathing narcissism (yes, that's right), absurdity, and violence. Phrases like "sketch comedy" don't adequately cover what this is. It might meet that definition technically but is something much greater than the sum of that formula. It is a clever and tightly woven dark comedy universe with a first-rate soundtrack, disguised as a kooky, toilet humor sketch show. It's like Columbo: perhaps bumbling and mediocre on the surface, but sharp as a razor underneath.
I've now watched the whole series from beginning to end many times, but had only a third-rate, recorded from television copy obtained by debasing myself in ways of which I wish never to speak again. I'm delighted that it has finally been released on Region 1 DVD so I leave that foul chapter behind me. Thank you, Severin! The second disc of music is a treasure as well and will provide much joy (and a few surprises!) to any fan of the series.

weird and memorable
Watching Snuff Box was like my experience with Monty Python's Flying Circus - IMO, not every sketch or scene was a keeper, but when it worked, it was brilliant and hilarious. Read more

Not funny.
I read the reviews and this seemed like a gem, but after watching numerous episodes it turned out to be fake gold. Bummed.

Why does this DVD smell so good?!?!?!
Really. I have never had a DVD that smells as good as this one. Also, this is probably my favorite show ever.
It comes with a soundtrack CD and that is priceless.
