Look Around You: Season 1 Pilot - Calcium

They wouldn't even dare to show Arial footage of the Helvetica Scenario today. Those were different times. New Roman.

This only makes complete sense if you’re viewing this using a large tv on wheels

I really like how it starts mostly serious and slides slowly into total insanity.

I can't believe they showed actual footage of the Helvetica Scenario. Those were different times.

Excellent videos and very informative, I've been using these to homeschool my children.

If I were a science teacher... I'd show this to my class every April Fool's day.

The most underated, brilliantly observed, crafted, comedy programme of the last 20 years. Period!

I felt kind of bad for the intelligent calcium at the end

Haven't seen this in years and just noticed the 50p is still stuck to the hand at 11:33 haha

As an 80s kid I cannot over-state how they completely nailed the look of those old shows. Oh and that'd Edgar Wright at 16:46

I recently learned Helvetica runs in my family. Dr suggested I get all of my teeth amd bones surgically removed. I won't be able to lift weights or eat hard foods anymore but it's better than coming down with Helvetica

The meat on this comedy bone for me is the attention to detail in virtually every audio/visual department. A lesser creator would put over-exaggerated film scratch overlays over 25fps video and expect the writing to do the lion’s share of the work, but Serafinowicz & Popper clearly did their homework and found an equally focused crew to help them achieve an authentic look. This along with Documentary Now & Key and Peele hit a satisfying sweet spot for me - an equal balance between strong writing and direction & laser focused production design.

I love the 50p still stuck to his hand!

It's incredible how many small and easy to miss jokes they manage to pack this with. Like the "heated to 1200 B.C." joke around 8:50, I only heard that one the second time I viewed this.

I have a very weird, specific memory of this show. I was on a high school youth group church retreat and me and the two other high school guys were up late in the hotel flipping through the channels and we hit this specific episode on Adult Swim when they were running it for a short period and we had NO idea what was going on. Like had NO idea if this was real or not. And then we got up and did Jesus stuff like worship music and service projects, but this show haunted us. I don't know where one of those guys ended up. The other, I think, has a wife and two kids now. And here I am, watching this on YouTube alone at 2:15 in the morning. Funny how life works.
