Little Britain U.S.A.


Little Britain U.S.A. debuts Sunday night at 10:30 EDT on HBO.

I have mixed feelings about the show. I've seen enough episodes of the original U.K. series to know that it can be very funny. It is also probably the worst offender of any sketch comedy - on either side of the pond - for running a joke into the ground. I bet most of the stuff they do on the first episode will be repeated (with only slight variation) on the second, and then the third, and so on.

Nonetheless, this clip is pretty funny; and I think that the "Fat Fighters" sketch at the end is probably the best thing Rosie O'Donnell has ever done.
