I'm not usually one for dark humour but this sketch is hilarious!😄😄😄

"Whenever you're ready sir" 😂

It started slow, predicatable, with us thinking it was a birthday song...

[EccentricGentelman]

I like to think that after this scene the conversation

Man "How could you b so outrageously insensitive and inappropriate?!"

Police "Well we thought it might soften the blow."

Man "That was the most devastating thing you can say to a man! You thought putting it to music would help?!"

Police "Well if you can think of a way to tell someone their wife is dead without devastating them we would really like to hear it. Oh and we're not being sarcastic, I would really like to hear it. We've tried everything."

don't stop, my dear policewoman.

This is one of the funniest scenes ever 😂

[Jesta]

The English have a wicked sense of humor!

[hadesdogs]

When you have no friends so you arrest everyone you can to bring them to the station in order to have a party😂😂😂

[alessandromecca]

Is there a melody or song this Is based of?

[indrocringe]

“We’ve come here, just to say,
We hope you’re having a lovely day.
But now, it’s time to tell you straight,
The reason why we wandered through your garden gate.

Oh, your wife’s been killed,
She’s crashed the car,
She went through the windscreen
And travelled quite far.

She’s dead, she’s gone, she’s got no more life!
Please come to the station and identify your wife”

[emilymcplugger]

I can recite this at any time.

Dark British humour.

👍👍👍

Dark humor is a lot like food. Not everyone gets it
