Snuff Box - Empty Room

[jaybals]

This really reminds me of Edgar Winter Group playing 'Frankenstein' on the Old Grey Whistle Test haha

Love this sketch!

[mentallogic]

YES!

[TheUndert0ker]

Awesome

[6207865]

Bananas!!! Rich Fulcher and this show are F'n hilarious.

[bluekitteneyes]

What a jolly death song 8D

[supercool529]

Man the death of his brother must have been a pretty epic experience.

[Bjouesbijou]

that was amazing!

[AugF0rc3]

1:22- Best expression ever. So proud of his Prog prowess...



[poptartchica]

This clip is definitely my favorite in this entire series just b/c, even knowing the kind of humor employed in this show, I didn't expect that! So freaking hilarious!!!

[makerofjam]

two words. edgar. winters.

[crocodilewerewolf]

Probably the best parody of prog i've seen. Hilarious.

[MalariaColon]

Matt Berry's face. Wow.

[drdoomandchums]

its the edgar winter group- frankenstien

[juniperandlamplight]

Matt looks like a dark-haired Rick Wakeman with that wig...

[babyxdanii101]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!! RICHARD AYOADE! <3<3<3<3<3

[billyblanks69]

pretty similar to stanley clarke - school days on OGWT (with george duke).....amazing. just as funny as this.

[mipmipmipmipmip]

hell yes!!!

[ilovegibsons1]

saboo from mighty boosh

[DreadLaw2]

Dean Learner ftw.

[joliverti]

The face he makes at 1:23 is hilarious

[harbourmc]

Holy Shit! Classic!! Matt Berry is the best!

[UnCannyJasper]

Its the group. I watched two of these gents for the first time in dark place and they became my favorite UK entertainers. I've seen them in a ton of material since then and they are always funny. "Mercy killing, what was all that about"

[samkev84]

if u like this check out edgar winter his song frankenstein

[Naroon201]

They need to put this song in Rock Band 3. It's even better because Matt is an actual musician and he wrote all the music for Snuff Box.

[Bietel]

I once had a Shergold guitar/bass like that. Boy, they are heavy...

[broughy23]

anyone here seen garth merenghis darkplace with these 2 funny fuckers innit class!

[LuneyTune72]

0:56 is the same as 2:23 into "Follow You Follow Me" by Genesis.

[oiyabastard]

@LuneyTune72 yes and at 1;28 IS an american 70s game show theme ill show u  misunderstanding was ripped off from

[ogrokstedy]

@LuneyTune72 hes basically just playing triplets down a scale, it really isn't anything special

[LuneyTune72]

I wonder if this had anything to do with the Edgar Winter Group's performance of Frankenstein at the Old Grey Whistle Test.

[thesammo]

@LuneyTune72 I believe this has EVERYTHING to do with it =D

[ChilliCrusader]

Too much love for Matt Berry.

[Mikemaniax]

Holy fuck! The amount of vintage instruments in this video is astounding!

[wiregreyhounds]

Secret MVP of this skit: Rich Fulcher on the double-necked bass.

[guitoorbenchi]

@wiregreyhounds its a guitar-bass combo, but you are right elsewhere.

[wiregreyhounds]

@guitoorbenchi Good catch! Even funnier!

[xeractus]

This obviously is a joke but it just makes me think about how much we really need the Old Grey Whistle Test back!!!

[falstaffswims]

Ah: Suddenly, silver pants! It doesn't get any suddenly-sweeter than that!

[Perizada]

Love the Keytar and the Silver pants very nice indeed :)

[QueenOfRohan666]

FATTHHERRR!!! oops this isn't the IT CROWD =D

Matt Berry, the beast of Comedy

[Pogglefish]

Whis-KEY!

[racey1986]

1:23,  Matt Berry's cheeky face is hilarious. A true legend.

[jinbo031288]

if you watch the real old gray whistle test this is a piss take off the edgar winter group songs called frankinstien this is well funny

[dwfwwf]

LMFAO, sounds like some Leftfield track , this song is cool, glad it's only a show and the guys brother never existed lmfao

[NurseDischord]

anybody no the chords to the piano part at the beginning

[vladimersh]

nothing quite like a Keytar solo to ease the bereaved

[kingdantje]

@vladimersh guitboard surely?

[Hozzas]

I saw this and was like RICHAAAAARRRRD!

[Thraxwhirl]

Love the way it's Suicide Pt IV! One can only wonder what the hell parts 1-3, and any after 4, might've been, and how inhumanely inappropriate they might've been to anyone dealing with a bereivment.

Tasteless. Classic. I'm downloading it and keeping it.

Priceless.

:D

[princesstamika]

lol exactly. It's like the Allan Parsons Project Part IV, so pretentious, yet comically inappropriate.

[jdb83xl]

that was dope

[danfromton]

love the thigh drum-roll at 1:59

[cram1nblaze]

that was awesome

[kayson4]

Snuff Box is a killer...

[fluxbunny1]

1:45

[Fokosmok]

hell yeah:)

[Bluer123]

Here, Matt Berry reminds me so much of Rob Chappers.

[nealsureal]

he is great!

[LuneyTune72]

This is def making fun of Edgar Winter's performance of "Frankenstein" at the Old Grey Whistle Test, from the same era.

[superkid12345]

the guy that plays Dean Lerner's poses in this sketch are hilarious

[princesstamika]

Richard Ayoade is an understated genius.

[ergotempusvernum]

That is Richard Ayoade.

[lotrtttluvsme2]

HAHAHAHA.

[marso221]

this is awesome. one of my fav bits of the show

[londonerforrock]

I love Berrys face the whole way through this. The fact that he probably can't play bass just makes it better.

[daManDRAK]

He CAN play bass ... & an array of other, infact most instruments!!

[Horslad]

haha it seems that he can really play the keyboard to, him and the guy who plays garth merenghi should do an album cuz theyre both really good musicians!

[MenCap7]

Matt Berry DOES make albums! I found his second album "Opium" on amazon and it's cool as fuck , this kinda style and also some really funny spoken stuff.

[green11420]

Do you know where to find his other stuff? Can't find it anywhere!

[ThatMonsterMan]

I listen to this every time I consider suicide. It solves my melancholy every time.

[xeractus]

Lol pure prog! two double necks and an ARP Pro soloist. I wonder if anybody actually did hang one around their neck? XD

[havermeister]

It's so authentic it's more a homage than a parody.

[Perrymount]

That is just pure comedy genius:D

[damphear2]

is that jack morgan on guitar

[MEpianist]

comedy gold chords: d7 & G9

[maxcrowe]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

oh my god...

 the edgar winter group!

[Xiediac]

What a sad song. R.I.P Fraser

[jordanburt]

pure genius

[ralucagymnast]

Just comedy genius: those people who dont "get it", I dont understand: even my 10 year old daughter finds this hilarious, and "gets it":)

[RSimusic]

hahaha i love prog, and taking the piss out of prog :)

[Taramriel]

Matt and Richard are two of my favourite comedians EVER! They're intelligent and likable and have their own unique styles!!!

[havermeister]

For a short chubby bloke Matt Berry is well cool.

[linfits]

Berry isn't that short or chubby. i walked passed him Soho last week, he was wearing giant headphones!

[ragdollaugust]

matt berry's silver pants, and the fact that the song is titled suicide part IV.

[TheLateGreats]

I never really thought about suicide until this video...

[KJAnsia]

Berry and Fulcher are geniuses, and Rich Ayoade just plays everything so well.

[Haddock420]

This song is way too short, there should be an extended 8 minute version.

[Hozzas]

Don't you mean 8 hour version? And even that would be too short.

[Haddock420]

This is brilliant on so many levels.

[mrphilcollins]

Genius

[termin9r]

never watched snuff box or big train.

I love the Matt Berry chacacter in garth merengue and IT crowd - should I watch SB and BT?

[Haddock420]

Definitely watch SB, I've never seen BT so I can't really comment on that.

[willyroberts]

snuffbox is great but only if your into a very dark sense of humour

[devilxbesidexyou]

Richard Ayoade and Matt Berry make me jolly

[phlegmuffin]

"Suicide Pt IV"

This is prog in its most extreme- and hilarious- form.

[Islwynpaul]

YES!

[Ripleysgun]

i fuckin' love this sketch

[pct77]

IMPORTANT!!! Google 'snuff box series two' and sign the petition to have the BBC commision another series...

[PhilosopherShale]

Heh. These guys watched the Old Grey Whistle Test DVD a few too many times. :P

Great clip (not to mention groovy)!

[jtchivers]

I love this! I too am a big fan of Prog Rock, and, like many of us Prog fans, we DO get the funny side of it. I bet Wakeman loves this too.

[eriurpigurerpi]

This is fucking top class.

As a prog fan this is spot on.

I can't stop laughing

[mrsbilliejoemargera]

haha saboo

[tsuxiitlacey]

haha i love their huge smiles

[herrdaubsy]

Reminds me of the classic Lick My Love Pump scene from Spinal Tap, fabulous!

[crispy1337]

this is my favourite show atm

rich fulcher is fucking hilarious.

[Bampontius]

Richard Ayodale is absolutely fantastic in whatever he appears in.

[the69snark]

two unnecessary double necked guitars lol

[7lartceps]

Can`t wait for snuff box to turn up,matt berry doing a rick wakeman with fulcher on bass what more do you need?

[CoTT]

That is prog awesomeness! Edgar Winter meets Hawkwind meets the Alan Parsons Project!

[sparksrule]

Definitely got the air of Frankenstein

[SpassMacher2000]

DEAN LEARNER

[ralucagymnast]

Superb and stupendously funny too.

[RetroJack69]

Wow i love all the actors in Snuffbox and the show its self pwns ^o^

[placeboing]

haha this rocks

[BudDickman]

Suicide part IV- The Empty room. Classic.

[weirdlen]

a top tune from a very funny show. the synth he's using is a roland sh-1000 i know, coz i got one!!

[halfsara666]

If you look at the BBC website there's an interview where he talks about all the music and he mentions that synth. Apparently it's a different synth on the recording than the one he picks up, because the other one was too heavy ^_^

[kakamoga112]

Does anyone know what Matt Berry is playing? Some kind of mini synth

[cheeezon]

The synth actually used on the recording is a Korg MS-20 and the one he is holding is a Yamaha SH2000.

[bbalanky]

Yes, this definitely makes me think of suicide..

WAHHHHWEEEEEEWAHHHWAHHHWAHHH!! omg..

5 stars.

[MrAnus]

that is one awesome keytar

[pengers11]

Rich Fulcher absolutely kills me every time I see him.

[aahmm]

ahh god! I wish i could download this some some where its utterly amazing

[JacobTrue]

just rip it off youtube with a youtube downloader and then convert it.

[thesamtasticvoyage]

it is available on the bbc snuff box web site!

[aahmm]

Ahh cheers mate you saved me alot of time!

[theblackBay]

Richard ayoade is one of the best comedians ever! subtle but great. "She's smooth like ice cool to the touch and it isn't very nice..."

[jlids]

GEEEEENIUS!!!!!! AAAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHHHHAHAHA­HHHAHHHAAHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAHHAHH love the song.

[Philintheflesh]

If you search on Youtube "Edgar Winter Group - Frankenstein" (Old Grey Whistle Test), you`ll know EXACTLY what inspired this!!

[soulsistahmel]

omg! you're right!!! It's uncanny!!! I appreciate this now even more! Thanks

[Nubtastic]

Seen this several times, and it's always brought a smile to my face. But a question's been bugging me, and I'm probably an idiot, but... a double-necked bass? They look different, maybe one of the guitar/bass combos? Anyways, crazy intense!

[cheesetastic]

It looks like a bass and twelve string guitar combo.

[passiveending4]

This is a hip suicide song, lol.

[Skapete]

This is a quality song on its own and not just a good comedy sketch!

[timeandchips]

Rich's bass playin! Legend!

[shaunwah]

Richard ayoade is adorable, watch his effortlessly cool thigh tapping in the backgroung...magical!

[theheartstar]

hahaha rich's flesh coloured kaftannn oh my godddd

[AllFuckingNamesTaken]

HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[plugindave]

haah i saw matt berry at bmuff firestation

they played this song lol

[Leaf9]

That's progressive rock!

[EsparzaA5]

nice come look at my video its about a monster and a redneck gangster type that in. It is funny. The title is ?

[dosadi420]

For more Matt, check out "AD/BC"

[beachbumben]

i'm going to see Matt Berry sooon...i just thought i'd brag

[dosadi420]

lucky bastard

[GoldenFallingHeart]

makes me piss myself laughing so unexpected

[NeverCaredUntilNow]

the expressions on rich and matts faces make me laugh so much!

[dannyashman]

where can i find snuff box videos there imposible to find

[Thraxwhirl]

Oh, how I truly wish "The Matt Berry Project" ;) really DID release a Space Rock concept album, "dealing with the sense of loss"!

I'd buy it. No doubt about it!

[erbmanmusic]

snuff box was so funny. i hope another series gets commisioned

[opiatelove]

Matt Berry & Rich Fulcher, a couple of warlocks on the darker side of the unknown, sucking gleefully on the devil's very cream, pedigree cream that is. Unleashers of the pleasure, sole reachers of the inner sanctum, the quiet place, they have arrived at a good place within, where nobody, not even the crack-head postman dare tread.

[123synthland]

this is brilliant.

[tromasteve]

Haha. If anyone's ever seen The Edgar Winter group on The Old Grey Whistle Test, this is what this is taking the piss out of. It's the most ludicrous thing ever. Brilliant.

[BstrangerUK]

I know, it's so great. I have got to watch this show

[muskaheaney]

Yeah definitely.

[CfOme]

lmao thats a fucking funny sketch!

[mattsmate]

Keyboards OK - but what a fantastic drummer driving things along!!
