Favourite sketches

I know this isn't that well known and obviously this board has very few visitiors but Darn it I'm gonna say anyway.

Anyone have any favourite sketches?

The two that I remember liking most and they both stick in my head and make me chuckle are:

The changing meals sketch.
The heroin addicts.

Webb gets the presenter thing absolutely brilliantly and even his opening line and the way he say's "Hi, and welcome to changing meals!" has me every time.

The girl in the heroin addict scenes cracks me up too. "Oh I shouldn't, but it's just so moreish isn't it?" and the brilliant "Oh go on help yourself, I cant have too much, it goes straight to my bum...Yeah I haven't shat for three weeks!"

There are others and I think this is so much better than the newest series.

I like the farmer who is shocked at everything! "eggs out of their *beep* arses!!!!" :P

Also the sound effect guys who say "ring ring" and people check their phones lol

I think the first episode was a bit weak, with only a couple of good sketches, but as the series went on it got so much better. I thought the sketch with David as the vicar relaying the increasingly depraved narrative of a pervert ("And then going home and tossing yourself off to a picture you stole which isn't in the least bit flattering!") was brilliant, and the two people who bump into each other in the street but who don't know each other well enough so it's awkward, when Robert bursts into tears I was in hysterics.

What's that? You just called me a bastard didn't you!

I like the farmer sketch best.

The farmer sketch, Changing Meals, The "OK... so now Martin HAS AIDs" bit, the part(s) where Robert Webb doesn't understand simple things - like making a bigger spoon and especially the Drama sketch! Also - the operations where the surgeons have put a squeaker in his hip :) Oh, and if I'm allowed one more -"Murder, Don't do it eh?"

My favourite two are the Farmer (Mitchell's expressions crack me up) and the Lock Stock send-up HONS, DONS & TWO SMOKIN'MA-OXONS (in episode 1).
