  • Quotes

    • "Each edition of the imported British parody purports to scientifically examine a different aspec of our world (germs, water, math, etc) via a series of experiments. In fact, the information offered is wildly incorrect and the experiments downright farcical. The result is hilarious, but will have particular resonance for readers old enough to recall when "multimedia" meant watching a film about the mating habits of dung beetles."—Entertainment WeeklyEW: Look Around You Review (January 7, 2009)
    • "...while each episode offers a unique, scientific dissection of the surrounding world, it teaches viewers absolutely nothing."—Broadcasting CableBroadcastingCable: Adult Swim Picks Up Brit Hit (December 18, 2008)
    • "Each ep[isode] parodies '70s and 80s science videos by tackling a different topic (Maths, Brain, Computers) and providing hilariously incorrect information."—USA TodayUSA Today: DVR Alert: Look Around You (January 12, 2009)
