If you love British comedy like Monty Python, you'll love Thank Goodness You're Here.
I was raised on British comedy. It was one of the few things my father and I both agreed on, so I spent plenty of nights watching Monty Python’s Flying Circus and Mr. Bean. Shows like that became formative, as I grew a love for physical comedy and ridiculous gags by studying silly walks. To an outsider, it all might just look like random jokes that don’t make much sense, but there’s an art for absurdity that the British comedy scene nailed.
Recommended Videos Thank Goodness You’re Here! takes place in a small English town called Barnsworth that’s filled with eccentric locals. Players take on the role of a tiny man, with skin as yellow as a lemon, whose job it is to help out around town. That’s at least what everyone seems to think his job is, anyways. The almost stream-of-consciousness adventure has our hero getting roped into tasks, from mowing lawns to helping a bedridden man get his groceries.
Your mileage will certainly vary when it comes to the barrage of jokes. It can be crude, gross, and childish — sometimes in the same breath. I really had to reach back to my youth at times to get on its level so I could laugh at the phrase “smacky bum bum.” The mix of adult and Saturday morning cartoon humor can feel unbalanced at times, but that’s in the spirit of Monty Python.
