Adam Buxton

Laughing at the idiotic things people write under YouTube videos could be seen as facile but Adam Buxton (the beardy one from 6Music's Adam and Joe) has refined it into an art form. In this adaptation of his cult stage shows he showcases innovative and inventive music videos, then rips apart the comments posted on the internet about them, with a dazzling array of funny voices, off-the-wall humour and silly songs. I was crying with laughter.

The videos are great, too, highlighting why so many promo directors turn to making films. But Adam's own bonkers collaboration with director Garth Jennings for a Japanese heavy-metal riff on Eddie Cochrane's Summertime Blues takes some beating.

YouTube comments. You can shake your head sadly and bemoan our hellbound-handcart ride. Or you can laugh - probably the only sensible response to the internet's inexhaustible supply of risible spelling, barely believable pedantry and grotesquely inventive bullying. Adam Buxton's been mining the rich seam of comedy presented by the online disinhibition effect on radio and on stage for a while now. And predictably, a version has found its way on to Sky Atlantic; music videos accompanied by the deranged ramblings of the online world's millions of real-life Beavises and Buttheads. It's a limited gag, but extremely good fun in small doses. Buxton stays just about the right side of smug throughout and presents a video of his own at the end, as if challenging the mocked keyboard-bashers to do their worst.

Adam Buxton interview

Keen eyes will recognise Adam Buxton from the recent BBC2 sitcom The Persuasionists, which was panned by critics. Any chance of a second series? The joker says with a wry smile: "Well, of course it was one of the most successful sitcoms in history, and we've all become incredibly rich off the back of it."
