2016 Year friends was a (sort of) monthly web series from some of the best young talent in British comedy. Now complete, the show was a labor of love created after the BBC failed to pick up the group's TV pilot People Time, which featured the sketch Sexy American Girls.

Maybe everyone else is in a postprandial coma, but I loved that (Xmas spirit, or just Xmas spirits?)

Sorry, as someone who loves British humor, I found this shockingly unfunny (note, only watched two of the monthlies before I gave up in boredom and irritation, reminded me of the worst bits of being a sophomore in college).

Yeah, the Sexy American Girls skit was pretty cringe worthy and I say that as an American male that at least doesn't scare small children when he goes out in daylight.

Sorry you two didn't like it. Not sure what you mean about scaring children though.

I enjoyed it; I was very surprised to see it make The Guardian's Top 50 shows of the year, mind.

Also: I could listen to Liam Williams talk all the live long day. His Channel 4 shorts from a few years back are well worth a watch also.
