DVD Description
In 2004 a fine-art graduate from Bedford, near London, met a law principal from Chicago. Together they produced one of the most stunning, best-kept secrets in British comedy.

Matt Berry and Rich Fulcher (from the The Mighty Boosh) star as two hangmen. The pair spend their days hanging condemned souls for cash, chasing women and sitting in their rather posh gentleman's club sipping whiskey.

Snuff Box was only shown once, in early 2006 and couldn't air until 11pm because of the nature of the material. In spite of this, word spread and the cult was born.

Synopsis
Surreal comedy sketch show from Rich Fulcher and Matt Berry, better known for their outrageous roles in The Mighty Boosh. Features original music written and composed by Berry.

5.0 out of 5 stars Original Comedy, 21 Mar 2008
By L. Darke "Cerpin Taxt" (Doncaster, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is one of the best comedy series ever to have been written. It is surreal, dark, imaginative, and very, very funny. If you missed it on BBC3 then you have missed out thousands of yet-to-be catchphrases, quirky visits to the past, Rich Fulcher's constant barrage of filth and the general debauched rantings of 2 madmen let loose with your money. Cannot wait.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazed By Negative Reviews - DONT COMPARE TO DARKPLACE!, 4 Mar 2009
I must say I am shocked by the negative reviews people have been giving this DVD, but then I noticed a trend, the people that give it a negative compare it too Darkplace and or Man To Man with Dean Learner, what's next? comparing it to IT Crowd because Matt Berry is in that one too, or Mighty Boosh?
For those who haven't seen the show, watch it with a clear head and don't compare it to anything else and I think you may be pleasantly surprised.
The show is a surreal piece of humour, that is, in the best way I can describe a sketch show within a sit-com, the jokes are fresh and funny.
The show has cameos from brilliant comedians and guests, such as Richard Ayoade and Stephen K Amos, and from beginning to end is full to the brim with humour.
Also the DVD is jam packed with extras, such as commentaries, outtakes, inside Snuff Box, well worth the purchase and I don't just say that to Matt Berry Fans, please borrow, rent or buy this DVD, but be prepared for your sides to hurt for a week.
Thanks for reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best comedy shows for years, 15 Dec 2008
Snuff Box is the brain child of Rich Fulcher and Matt Berry, who will be familiar to anyone who has seen The Mighty Boosh. Shown back in 2006 on BBC3, this surreal mix of sitcom and sketch show somehow escaped the mainstream. It's a real crying shame as it's without doubt one of the best comedy shows of the last few years, if not of all time. If you are a fan of surreal and dark comedy you will find this programme fantastic.

Why BBC3 seem happy to show endless repeats of banal shows like Little Britain and Two Pints of Lager, etc when they've got a jewel like this in their archives I really don't know. Maybe it's so anyone who likes it has to go out and buy it on DVD.
