 It's true that once you've seen his act, you probably don't want to, or need to see it again, but despite the fact, Harry Hill is definitely one of the best and most original comedy acts of the 1990s. Not only does he manage to combine the ""constant string of gags"" routines of the more ""traditional comedians"" with a fantastic sense of surrealism, but he manages to avoid either ""alternative right-onism"" or ""political incorrectness"" thereby avoiding alienting anyone. 

 The original TV series didn't work brilliantly, predominantly because it was the same stuff every week - anyone wishing to partake of Harry's work should have simply gone to see him live - once.  However, the ""TV Burp"" series is, in my opinion, superb.  It is one of the few TV comedy programs of recent times to leave me in absolute hysterics.  However, and I say this at the risk of being labelled ""elitist"" (although I couldn't give a flying fuck if you think I am) it does seem to be appreciated mainly by people who have sufficient intellect to grasp the subtlties of Harry's comments on the program clips.  The clips themselves are naturally not specifically that funny per se. 

 Enjoy.
