I only recently discovered this hidden gem and I'm really glad I did.

It's not (and wasn't at the time of the release) a cutting edge stuff, but there is a certain uniqueness to it.

I guess what intrigues me the most about it is the slightly unconventional pacing - There's your average sketch consisting of a build up and a delivery. At that point you chuckle, because you got it. But they just keep going. They keep going after the point had been made clear and they don't develop the point. And they get into a slightly annoying or a cringey zone. But they still keep going and they get to the zone, where it's funny again, sometimes belly-laugh funny. I think that was a risky move, but it totally works for this show!
