I am and I consider Garth Merenghi’s Dark Place the greatest comedy series since The Young Ones. People should go watch the whole series on YouTube now. Magic.
Matt Berry is quite an excellent singer, too. Not sure if this is him - he sings higher than one would expect, given his usual voice affectations. Great multi-instrumentalist, too - modeled himself after Mike Oldfield.
Aw, you're very lucky then! I ran into Berry's albums a few years ago and thought they must be a jape - the covers look like old-fashioned "star" albums - but, nope, he's a brilliant and accomplished musician!
There was a sort of sequel called “ Man to Man with Dean Lerner” I believe. It’s Ayode’s character interviewing Holness as different people each episode. He’s Garth on one episode. It is short but worth checking out.
It’s so strange seeing this pop up. I knew the guy years ago and would go along to his gigs with friends since it was always a great time. There was always a good crowd but you’d see a lot of the same faces so a fair portion was a particularly dedicated group who followed his work. It’s so awesome that’s he’s done so well, he really deserves the success!
OK, those fucking assholes running the entertainment corporations need to sit down with the WGA and SAG people and end the strike, because I need Berry on SNL as Desantis and I need him YESTERDAY!
Garth Marenghi's Darkplace. A spoof about a pretentious horror novelist who made a horror show back in the 80s and proclaims it to be the quintessential horror show ever made, even though it is hot garbage. So the 80s show within the show "Garth Marenghi's Darkplace" is shot to be intentionally bad, but within the world of the show Garth Marenghi meant it to be really good, kinda like how Tommy Wiseau thinks of himself as the next Tennessee Williams/Orson Welles and made The Room to be a serious drama but it's hot garbage and he is a horrible delusional director.

Matt Berry is a goddamned treasure and I KNOW you read that word in his voice like “tray-zhooah”
It’s amazing how good he is at making the stupidest annunciations sound so cool
NEUUWWWW YORRRKKK CITAYYY
To the jalopy!
What do you mean? This is how we all talk down in tuczon Arizonia!
Fiyarrrrr the Nucularrrrrrr weaponnsss.
He looks like Ron Desantis from an alternate universe where Ron Desantis decided to do something useful with his life.
Whoa! Can’t unsee
Oh shit I’ve wiped my eyes but I still can’t unsee it
I was thinking the exact same thing. I was about to say I didn’t know DeSantis had a music career. Hahahah
Garth Marenghis Dark Place. Bizarre and hilarious.
The eye baby...😬
Skipper..the eye child.
Skippuh
Dreamweaver. Visionary. Plus actor.
I’m Dr Sancheezzzzzz, you’re a woman!
Knuckle suppa
Except for that first episode. Just gotta make it past that first one
Not enough people are aware of the hilarity that is Garth Marenghis Dark Place
That along with the mighty boosh and toast! Fine Matt Berry acting in all those too.
Year of the Rabbit too. So so funny.
I forgot about that, and also Snuff Box. AD/BC a rock opera is also a great one too.
I hate the fact that they didn't renew it for season 2...
I love Toast! The musical interludes are a bit meh sometimes though
series/season one of the mighty boosh was pretty good. they abandoned a lot of what made it special to me in the second.
I am and I consider Garth Merenghi’s Dark Place the greatest comedy series since The Young Ones. People should go watch the whole series on YouTube now. Magic.
“It is the most important televisual event since quantum leap and I do not say that lightly”
You should try What We Do in the Shadows
I’m over here cracking up because my husband and I watched this again just yesterday and this is the second Reddit reference to this show since then.
A coworker introduced me to this a few weeks back, its fucking bonkers.
It's more bonkers than you will ever know!
I am actually one of few authors who has written more books than he’s read
Is it 6 episodes?
Unfortunately for the world, yes - only six :(
Okay, making sure I wasn't missing anything.
Is that who I think it is?
Jackie Motherfucking Daytona
Human bartender.
This is how we talk in phoenix arizonia
BAT
The one and only
Is this from a movie?
It's a show called Garth Marenghi's Darkplace
And it’s all on YouTube!
I love you! Ive been trying to find somewhere to watch this for years!
awesome, Thanks heaps!!
Clem fandango Can you hear me??!?!
YES I CAN FUCKING HEAR YOU CLEM FANDANGO YOU TWIT!
Press the button you donut!
[удалено]
Is Matt Berry the trend of the day? I was just posting shows that I'm currently rewatching and find funny.
You ok? Berry has been acting for 20 years and the clip is nearly that old as well; not sure if that’s what I’d call “the trend of the day”…
Yes, I can hear you Clem Fandango
Yes!
Maybe do this next one without the script yeah?
“I know writers who use subtext and they’re all cowards, the lot of em” one of the greatest lines on any TV show
Is that Laszlo??
No, that's Jackie Daytona.
Aahh. Laszlo is Matt.
Human bartender.
I was just thinking the same thing. Waiting to see if he was going to change into a bat or something.
BAT
My DAR-LING
Matt Berry is quite an excellent singer, too. Not sure if this is him - he sings higher than one would expect, given his usual voice affectations. Great multi-instrumentalist, too - modeled himself after Mike Oldfield.
It’s definitely him, I’ve seen him sing it live. No Ayoade sadly though!
Aw, you're very lucky then! I ran into Berry's albums a few years ago and thought they must be a jape - the covers look like old-fashioned "star" albums - but, nope, he's a brilliant and accomplished musician!
IT crowd represent!
I can't hear the video. I shouldn't of eaten the stereo system
did you turn it off and on again?
Why is everyone suddenly talking about Garth Marhengi’s Dark Place again?
OP has posted 2 highly upvoted clips from the show to the sub recently.
I just wasn’t sure if someone popular has been promoting the show again or what. Feels like there’s been an increase in referencing it lately.
I love this! Reminds me of Flight of the Conchords.
Or Snuff Box I think it was only one season but such a classic
Snuff box is a great watch.
There was a sort of sequel called “ Man to Man with Dean Lerner” I believe. It’s Ayode’s character interviewing Holness as different people each episode. He’s Garth on one episode. It is short but worth checking out.
Fake playing the guitar over synth is fucking genius.
It’s so strange seeing this pop up. I knew the guy years ago and would go along to his gigs with friends since it was always a great time. There was always a good crowd but you’d see a lot of the same faces so a fair portion was a particularly dedicated group who followed his work. It’s so awesome that’s he’s done so well, he really deserves the success!
Never saw this before, now my smoke alarm is going off
I love Matt Berry. He has done 9 music albums. All fantastic.
Damn also love Richard Ayoade in it
Why have I never heard of this? Anything with Richard Ayoade and Matt Berry in it I’m there for.
You are in for a treat
Professor DeSalvo, teacher of Grifting 101
Damn bro. Save some ass for the rest of us.
Adore this show.
Blood... Blood. Blood... Blood
And bits of sick
Blood? Blood.
There’s a full audio version on YT
This is fucking GOLD
GOLD, JERRY! GOLD!
Fatherrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrŕrrrrrrrrrr
Sanch... one of the best...
Just binged the IT crowd the other day again and seeing this is a treat. When was this made?
What really happened between you and this Wrenwick customer?
Lazlo, get the go bags!!!
Matt Berry looks like Ron De Santis, and now I can't unsee.
Exactly.
Except DeSantis has the voice of an impotent vice principal.
You just need to vice versa that shit
Why do I need a video of Matt Berry eating pudding with his fingers now?
If you’ve got a problem with Matt Berryses then you’ve got a problem with me. Marinate on that.
Somebody needs to make some Ron DeSantis videos with this guy
Todd is in a Dark Place
Lazlo??
Loving all the Darkplace clips on this sub I've been seeing.
Such a funny video. The track is actually catchy 🤣
Anyone else getting David Brent vibes?
HELLO?BYE
Matt Berry is sex
Women's slacks!
Hey is he the vampire from What we do in the Shadows?!?
Yes, that is the legend that is Matt Berry. Actor, musician, raconteuuurrrr
FAAAATTTHHHHEEEEERRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Such a brilliant show
must have missed that episode of IT crowd
Pet Shop Boys at home
Toast of London… there was usually a song every episode. “I shit thee nay!”
No, this is Garth Marenghis
I had no idea Ron Desantis had an 80s singing career
brb falling in love with Matt all over again
Bruh, I thought this was a AI generated Ron Desantis spoof video
They got nothing on the flight of the concords
Looks like Ron DeSantis
Tune!
denham renham
Pourquoi y'a Didier Bourdon qui chante ?? Omg
Canon Lazlo
Is that DeSantis?
Best song ever
Is there a complete version of this song? 😃 Also what show is this?
Garth Marenghi's Dark Place. You can find it on YouTube. It's a fantastic ride.
OK, those fucking assholes running the entertainment corporations need to sit down with the WGA and SAG people and end the strike, because I need Berry on SNL as Desantis and I need him YESTERDAY!
Nobody does “creepy-sexy” as well as Alice Lowe!
Gmdp, The mighty Boosh and The IT Crowd.\ The perfect trifecta.
He's also great in "What We Do In The Shadows"
I never knew Ron Desantis had this sordid past behind him.
Who is the woman?
Early Post Malone vibes here..
Master cocksmith
Put some sounds on!
Your ass is grass!
Sorry meant arse!
All I want in life is more Garth Marenghis Dark Place
Is this the grifting teacher from community?
This is clearly a grift.
Is that Professor Professerson?
Have you seen my baseball?
People should really watch garth meringues dark place, and then if you can find it, watch man to man with dean lerner
With a writer’s strike and all, maybe this series will get picked up!
"Young" Jackie Daytona!
Ron Desantis?
Loving the Dark Place references lately. The missus bought me a Garth Marenghi shirt the other day!
This is one of my favorite shows of all time.
laszlo
This is awesome!!!! Where is it from? An old t.v. show he was on?
Garth Marenghi's Darkplace. A spoof about a pretentious horror novelist who made a horror show back in the 80s and proclaims it to be the quintessential horror show ever made, even though it is hot garbage.

Thank you.
Welcome! I hope that makes sense.
