It's John
After a YouTube video in which he claimed that Bluetooth attracts bees was blocked for misinformation, Thomas Wrinklesmooth started his investigation into censorship and cancel culture.
The Actual Truth: Cancel Culture
A bizarre and bewildering sketch show from Victor Hampson, featuring trainspotting flowers, cookery tips from an aggressive cockney, ingenious life hacks told as modern day parables, the manliest superhero in the world, incredibly frustrating AI assistants, and various other comedic ideas that are harder to summarise succinctly. Mixing animation, CGI and live-action, this is a finger buffet for the eyes and, with a soundtrack including a drum 'n' bass song about cabbages and some disturbing gnome-based electronica, the ears are doing alright out of this deal too. The series is unlikely to appeal to any other body parts.
Patchwork Travesty
Comedy short about a man's regret for a very awkward situation. After Andy bumps into a woman and causes her to drop her bag, he tries to apologize, but his embarrassed rambling only makes the situation worse.
Splorry
The Harroway's mad brother, Martin, has died. Amongst his possessions is an illustrated children's book containing a strange warning about one of the characters within it: Once you've seen John, he can see you. And he's coming to get you.
