Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Grandma's House (2010–12) is a British Dom Com following Simon Amstell As Himself, fresh from quitting his job as host of Nevermind The Buzzcocks and desperately seeking a new purpose in life.Retreating to the bosom of his family and their get-togethers in his grandma's house, he finds they are less than sympathetic when he tells them he's leaving behind fame and fortune. In turn he struggles to deal with his mother Tanya's impending marriage to a rich but deathly dull man, his sex-obsessed cousin Adam, and his death-obsessed grandfather. The first series ran from August to September 2010, and a second series ran from April to May 2012.Not to be confused with the similar "dysfunctional Jewish family meets for a meal" sitcom Friday Night Dinner.

Belief Makes You Stupid
 Grandma's House / int_79b5677
comment
Belief Makes You Stupid: "We just need to treat religious people with kindness and love, in the same way you'd treat a child running around saying: I'm a helicopter!" Combined with an element of Hypocritical Humor - as he criticises religion, Simon starts taking up New Age "Your Mind Makes It Real" beliefs, which inspire him to back the truly disasterous decision of inviting his divorced father over to his grandma's.

comment
Comically Missing the Point: Simon writes a play in which the characters discuss a "bad egg, with a controlling yolk" who "fell on a penniless egg and killed him". Clive, who Simon sees as a Karma Houdini for getting away with running over a homeless man while drunk, isn't impressed... because he thinks the play attacks Liz.
