As I write this, the world is a scary place. Fascism is globally on the rise, the ice caps are melting, the incoming President of the US seems shockingly okay with throwing nuclear weapons around like candy- it’s easy to see us marching headfirst into some kind of apocalypse. Luckily for us, we can at least have a bit of a chuckle at our impending doomsday as the end of times has actually provided quite a bit of fodder for comedy.
More recently you’ve had hits like The World’s End, or This is the End and even the show Last Man on Earth all trying to find the humor in mankind’s great disaster. Personally, though, my favorite comedy take on what to expect after humanity experiences its final night comes from the British sketch comedy duo Mitchell and Webb in a reoccurring segment from their 3rd and 4th seasons entitled ‘Remain Indoors,’ about a game show being broadcast in the wake of the apocalypse.
