BBC Comedy - Backspace

Due to the rising nature and use of modern hand held and computer technology and internet media BackSpace is light hearted spoof on nerd/geek culture shows. Hosted by British Comedians Stuart Ashens and Karen Hayley as they joke about modern technology and it's sub-culture in society.

This straight forward and no nonsense approach to internet culture is very different to usual exuberant and vibrant personalities that host these types of shows. Even though there are only 6 episodes they manage to cram in a great number of jokes at the expensive of pop culture trends, my favourite being the Social network gag about Mums who go online to brag about their babies.

Unbearable

BBC Comedy - Misery bear
Website: HERE
YouTube Channel: HERE



Misery Bear is a series of web shorts from BBC Comedy. These depressing and soul crushing videos of a sad little teddy bear's life are just hauntingly bleak. You can scoff about even feeling sympathetic towards a stuff creature but the people pulling the strings of this lovable guy really know how to tell a simple story of loss and hopelessness.

There really isn't all that much to it, It's just the sad story of a stuffed little bear with very little going for him, the videos are accompanied with fabulous song choices like "Lost Cause" by Beck or "Brick" by Ben Folds, Songs that really set a sombre mood. It seems auto biographical for a number of viewers which is why he seems so human to most. I guess the reoccurring theme through-out Misery Bear is isolation and loneliness.
