Product Description
From Amazon.com
Comedy Central's listlessly restless, prim and improper British couple (first seen in the Oscar-winning animated short Bob's Birthday) hit video with this two-episode volume that finds them repeatedly foiled in rare moments of attempted intimacy. In the first, "A Night In," the remarkably unremarkable Bob and Margaret try to figure out how to spend an evening together and can come up with nothing better than renting a movie and phoning out for pizza. But even that simple plan goes awry. In the other episode, "Discomfort of Strangers," Bob's annoying Canadian cousins--the loud, cheap, and sweaty Melvin and Cookie (who make ugly Americans seem positively palatable)--barge in, virtually unannounced as Bob and Margaret plan a second honeymoon.
Largely, B&M eschew big gags in favor of smaller, more observational humor with a benignly adult edge on the proceedings. Those who love animation because it can do so much more visually than live-action comedy won't be terribly impressed, but fans of low-key and deadpan humor will have an extremely mild blast. Here's the couple's key exchange: Bob says, "We're not boring." Margaret responds, "Yes, we are." And, funny enough, they're both right. --David Kronke
From the back cover
Two hilarious episodes from the hit animated series about the offbeat life of Bob, a frustrated dentist, and Margaret, his chiropodist wife. Based on the Oscar-winning short "Bob's Birthday."
A Night In
After much discussion as to whether or not to have children, Bob and Margaret decide to spend a romantic evening at home. Just as they are about to relax with some wine, pizza, and a steamy video, their friends call with a dinner invitation. Suddenly, Bob and Margaret's burning love is snuffed our by a screaming baby, soiled diapers, too spicy spaghetti, and Margaret's splitting headache. Well, at least the dogs get to see the video!
Discomfort of Strangers
A petty argument leads to Bob arranging a special anniversary celebration at Bob and Margaret's honeymoon spot, the fabulous Cheddar Gorge View Hotel. All seems set for a glorious mending of their relationship, but a call from Bob's distant cousin from Canada starts a series of events only an emergency helicopter can undo. Happy anniversary!
