| Snuff Box | comment |
Snuff Box is a bawdy and truly bizarre Sketch Comedy/Brit Com, starring Englishman Matt Berry and American Rich Fulcher, who work as hangmen and spend time at a gentleman's club. (Evidently, the series takes place in a world in which hanging still survives as an institution). Each episode has a main plot and other one plot and other sketches of tangential relevance. Adding to the confusion, almost every character has the same name as their actor, so it's difficult to tell which Matt/Rich it is you're watching, but the show is funny enough that you don't care.The show was reliant on Running Gags that, though hilarious, probably would have gotten old eventually were it not for British Brevity. The series was commissioned as a replacement for another show, Popetown, which was axed because of backlash from Catholics; the BBC gave Berry and Fulcher complete creative freedom on the condition that it would (most likely) not be brought back after its original run of six episodes. It was not recommissioned.Also see Garth Marenghis Darkplace, most of whose cast have appeared on this show at one time or another, and The Mighty Boosh, which also features Messrs. Berry and Fulcher as a comic duo with a similar dynamic. | |

Establishing Series Moment: From the beginning of the first episode: They then arrive at an execution chamber where Matt hangs a man, contrary to the illegality of capital punishment in England. As John Teti notes in his A.V. Club retrospective, it's the perfect setup for the shambling and surreal journey through disconnected moments in time and space that follows. | |

Not in Front of the Kid: subverted in one of the censor sketches. Although we only hear the dialogue, what sounds like a pornographic scene is interrupted when the female participant's young son comes into the room. They decide to let him watch. The censors think it's hilarious. | |

Status Quo Game Show: Rich and Matt go on a quiz show. It doesn't go well. Mostly because they didn't prepare in the slightest. | |

The Chew Toy | |
| Snuff Box / int_e4f5affb | comment |
The Chew Toy: On Matt's quest to get his silver cowboy boots back from the cleaners, he is brutally beaten by store attendants, including a man from Oop North, a Camp Gay black man who knows martial arts, and a Violent Glaswegian. Rich is also an example, as in the episode where he goes blind. | |

Running Gag | |
| Snuff Box / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: Quite a few. One particularly delightful one is that Matt will be hitting on a beautiful woman, often carrying something for her, when she will mention her boyfriend, causing him to matter-of-factly announce "Fuck you!", drop whatever he was carrying, and leave. A subtler one is the frequent references to rabbits, particularly when being eaten. | |

Larynx Dissonance | |
| Snuff Box / int_ffae1b5e | comment |
Larynx Dissonance: In the final episode, Rich falls in love with (and marries) a woman named Grendel, who, though beautiful, speaks entirely in dubbed-in chimpanzee noises. In an earlier episode, Rich and Matt are accidentally speaking in each other's voices. Alcohol quickly cures them. In the episode where Rich beats Matt to the punchlines of his own jokes, Rich briefly speaks in Matt's voice when copying his introduction to the joke | |
