(Does anyone else understand this sentence? Please help) The linked episode you've presented seems to be essentially about going to sleep while tipsy which you'll find was joke #2 in my list of the two jokes in Em, so I don't appear to have underestimated it based on this example. Even Edgar Wright can only muster that it's "sweet", not actually funny. - Krusty. Hi DelloVelo,

There was a good one i seem to remember about 'doing' hermione harry potter from behind a good one about Spaced that edgar wright picked up on: http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=144582906&blogID=358708212 Nah Krusty I think you underestimate it; it was pretty good.

Whatever mild humour might be gained from baby envy and falling asleep drunk was certainly covered by the first week of its run there. See also every single episode that followed for the subsequent three years.
