"As a psychotherapist, I don't like to use the word 'crazy'"
"What? That's like a butcher not wanting to use the word 'pork'."
"Mm, yes-"
"Or 'sausages'"
There's a UK show called "Help" you should be able to find out there. It stars the man who made the sublime "People Like Us" (Chris Langham) and Paul Whitehouse from the Fast Show. It's one of the most wonderful things I've seen in ages. It features amazing comedy that are also unbelievably awful and painful. And also some moments of wonderfully humanity. Highly, highly recommended. Take a psychotherapist (Langham) and a wide variety of his patients (Whitehouse in a terrifying range of makeup), sit back and marvel.

Doesn't make the show any less funny, mind you.

But yeah. Help. Awesome.
