I love that sketch. But, then again, I love all the sketches. Thank you John, for making the world a happier place to live in.

We thank you Captain Dinosaur!

Simon is spectacular in this. It's his "realising the Americans will" Mr Fahrenheit voice and I love it.

The Sisyphus sketch was based on an original idea by Albert Camus, you are listening, you may not be entirely surprised to learn, to Radio 4. That bit always makes me laugh. It's because of this sketch I looked up Camus, and read The Stranger, so thanks!

[@sebandrews4395]

I think about this sketch at least once a week, it’s fascinating

[@guitarguy242]

Brilliant as always John!

I love john Finnemore's sketches, and also one on mythology. If you want to find out what Sisyphus did to earn such a punishment, watch 'Overly Sarcastic Productions - Sisyphus Captures Death'. They do a nice short episode covering the sly king Sisyphus, with a rather sympathetic Hades.

🐤Bless you for uploading this, you’re really nailing all the sketches I need to talk to my therapist about🐤

I was, actually, quite surprised to hear that I was listening to Radio 4. I could have sworn this was KZbin, but then again you are probably in a better position than I to know for sure.

Thank you!

[@noiselesspatient]

Ah so Camus is the source of The Good Place!? 😁

[@tonysuffolk]

This is a funny but deep insight into the human condition as described by Albert Camus, This is why I happily pay my BBC licence fee. Thanks John and thank you BBC.

[@jellybabyace]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this seems to be different from the aired version?

[@tobesvalois8873]

It sounds the same to me.

So here's my pitch I really hope you see this comment, John, because I think it will be a wonderful experience. Do a collab with Drawfee: kinds and animals challenge. You give the artists monarchs and then they have to draw them as animals.
