Episodes
Jam 1: chemotherapy wig
Robert Kilroy Silk loses his mind, a man picks up his car from the garage only to find it is only four feet long, a suicidal man jumps off a first-floor balcony forty times rather than once off the top of the building, and an agency provides thick people for jobs that thick people are particularly good at.

A couple calls a repairman to deal with the lizards coming out of their television, a woman farts on her secretary's head rather than give one of her employees a pay raise, Mr Ventham can't find his wallet, and a man tries to hold up a shop with a gun in his stomach.
