Synopsis
First screened in 2000, BRUISER is the fast-paced comedy sketch showcases a who’s who of contemporary talent. This funny and intelligent comedy series features notable skits such as the fly-on-the-wall documentary profiling a seriously strange married couple and a secret agent who’s sick of weaponry masquerading as stationary. BRUISER combines original material with running gags, satirising popular culture and mining comedy form the most unexpected of places.

3.0 out of 5 stars Hit & MIss, 18 Jul 2007
By J. Rain "John Rain" (Hove) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I caught this when it was on the pre BBC 3 channel UK Play, this along with the great Fun At The Funeral Parlour were little nuggets in their late night schedules.

Containing some of the rising stars of comedy today, pre fame; Matthew Holness (Garth Merenghi) Mitchell and Webb, Olivia Coleman (In everything at the moment) Martin Freeman (Tim in the office) and a lady who was in Braniac!

Bruiser is very hit and miss, but when it is a hit it is as good as any sketch show. Some sketches were faves of mine and I still think they are really funny, Sparky the annoying puppet and outdoor wee a couple of faves.
It is obviously reminiciant of Mitchell and Webb's recent sketch show as they are the writers here too, and also that familar feeling of hit and miss-ness.
It is worth a purchase if you are a fan, though the sticker saying "Co Written by Ricky Gervais" seems a bit desperate!!

5.0 out of 5 stars At long last..., 4 April 2008
By Pearnon (Portugal) - See all my reviews
... someone finally took it up to themselves to unearth this precious gem out of some dusty archives. As a DVD, it's a very bare-bones product, with nothing but the whole six (!) episodes of the series, but quite frankly, that's all it needs.
A laugh riot from start to finish, with a few notable misses, which the tremendous hits more than make up for. Highly recommended. No, make that mandatory.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bruiser - Quirky Classic, 24 Jul 2007
Whilst occasionally patchy, there's some inspired stuff in this offbeat BBC show. Martin Freeman's got some excellent characters - the paranoid man, the husband who keeps telling his wife he's turned gay, the archaeologist based on Time Team, Sparky the puppet etc ... Mitchell, Webb, Colman and Hollness fans will get a lot of the show too. First aired in 2000, Bruiser didn't go 'straight to DVD' - a good sign!
