The Comic Strip Presents... (1982 - 2012)

The show left no taboo unturned--with shocking and often offensive portrayals of violence, sex, bestiality, and explicit drug use (not to mention all the swearing and puerile fart-gags). But despite the controversy--or perhaps because of it--"The Comic Strip" drew a cult following for its anti-establishment views, which resonated well with younger generations

A series of self contained TV films starring performers from London's "Comic Strip" comedy club and their friends. Noted for a high sense of parody of previous films, literature, and generally everyone in sight.
