Look at this - a punchup and a takeaway. All I need now is a handjob in a bus shelter and I've had the Great British Night Out. 'Scuse me, I'm off for a doze.

And to add to that, if you see the S4 deleted scnes, there is a wonderful little moment where he's at his desk, eating some fudge.

"helloooo, Fudge". ... chomp.

According to the commentary on another episode, they mention they just left him alone in the room with the camera to do some improv, and that's what he came up with! Genius!

He's Digi-Ben.

It's on. It's on like Fat Pat's thong.

The only time I ever felt sorry for Ben Swain was when Malcolm called him a "sack of *fu*k** c*m", thrust a computer keyboard into his hands and made him stand in the corner like a naughty child.

What's Giant Gaystacks doing here?

Unfortunately for Ben, he was the only one who did not have the commonsense not to be rude to the black cleaning lady. He really is as thick as two planks.

When he gets his final ass-raping from Malcolm; being told seconds before his resignation announcement that his career is up in flames, and that he'll be on the backbench for the next decade. Classic.

Not to mention Malcolm's constant bullying:

MALCOLM
I can't find Benjamin Glutton anywhere. The massive *beep*'s gone to ground somehow and nobody's felt the aftershocks.

BEN
*beep* off...

Terri: The pizza's arrived.
Ben: Yay.

That was an excellent bit. When Terri says "theres good news and bad news.." and everyones thinking, thank god theres some good news..
I almost fell out of my chair when Terri gave the good news
