Laundry
Laundry
Really, what is there to say?
I guess the main focus isn't really laundry, but then that's nothing new.
We like this guy. He's neat.

Really? I only remember dark secrets from this episode; specifically the bloody shirt and the implied 'piano-wiring' of that dude...
Anyway, it has to get darker and more bogus. Like maybe he wakes up beside a dead stripper in Johannesburg and he's apparently missing three of his toes...

But that would not follow the laws of comedy!
Insisting that something is completely un-related and un-interesting directly implies the opposite is true, creating irony and therefore comedy.
If it was indeed unrelated and uninteresting, then it wouldn't be funny and would serve no purpose within the comic monologue.
Granted, it also adds to the inherent inconguity of his speech (eg non sequiteurs coupled with ridiculous narrative over a mundane activity.)
However, good comedy often opperates on more than one comic device at a time; it is constructed in layers.
Ergo:
Irony = Funny
Incongruity = Funny
Irony + Incongruity = Very Funny
PS - Great Job, Guys!

I'm gonna be brutally honest here. I love the guy, I really do, and his cameo appearance in the Christmas video brought joy to all. But I'm starting to find the "rambling in front of a bookshelf" bit a little bland. My attention wanders just like, as ryanvdk pointed out, it does during university lectures. He needs a little more spice, more conflict and curiosness. More blood stained t-shirts!

'As my grandfather and father did before me.'
Lovely cover-up, baby.
I absolutely loved this one, the t-shirt, the random usage of cheese, but most of all, the aircaft. Yes, I'm into aircraft, not wildely, but it seems more so than others... okay I can tell the difference between a Hawker Hurricane and a Supermarine Spitfire XIV (often used for recces, but then found to be very effective at many other roles) from the shape of the wing section from below.
GODDAMIT, BRING BACK THE VULCAN BOMBER! *ahem*... Nice vid.

Well Kathleen told us you put good research into these peices, so when I heard it in the speech I almost instantly believed it. Of course I never take everything literally (I'm so untrusting *sniffles*) but you said it, in that context, I was liable to believe it.
Now you can start feeding me complete and utter lies, do it subtly at first though.
