Product Description: This is both the most aggressive and the most morbid set of misadventures from Comedy Central's placidly perturbed British couple. In the first episode, "Holiday," Bob and Margaret plan a romantic getaway to England. How it turns out, we'll never know, because the episode gets bogged down in the tiny minutiae of the journey, rather than the destination. You know, boarding the dogs with a psychotic, arguing over seat assignments on the plane, trying not to get one's brains blown out by the on-board terrorists decked out in sundry religious garb--that sort of thing. Bob frets over whether he should take a sleeping pill; if there's a disaster, he worries, "I won't be able to panic properly!" "Trick or Treat," the second installment on the tape, borrows ever so slightly from the David Schwimmer-Gwyneth Paltrow movie The Pallbearer. Bob is invited to a funeral for a college chum he scarcely remembers. It's a time for particularly pointed cosmic reflection: Bob observes, "People refuse to accept the misery of eternal nonexistence." This is a particularly schizophrenic collection, ranging from some of the series' most flagrantly gory gags to some of its most thoughtfully subtle. --David Kronke
