Killing It

There’s a subgenre of comedy known, in my mind at least, as “the body-disposal caper”. The Fawlty Towers episode The Kipper and the Corpse is a prime example. Weekend at Bernie’s is another. And then there was the unintentionally funny drama at Downton Abbey when they had to cope with the cadaver of Mr Pamuk, who’d proved too weak to survive a night with Lady Mary. Here, we get that scenario taken to bloody extremes as we find out why Isaiah had that dead man in the back of his car last week. From there, we take a segue into the life of Brock for an equally savage story about YouTube celebrities. The two episodes initially appear unconnected, but they do eventually cross over in neat fashion.
