It's quite possibly the most spasticated educational thing ever. Why is it playing out like Lord of the Rings?

It's insulting for anybody over 12.

lacking in filth imo

iDontReallyCare

I'd like to care, but I don't. Really.

EDIT: (as the last video made absolutely no sense!)

Seriously for an after-the-watershed doc i dont know whether to laugh or cry. Theres enough things to feel sorry for in the world, but the "feel good" humanism aspect to it is just ridiculous. Short of spitting the poor feckers (sperms) into a jar and save them like tadpoles cos they are like old men with beards trying to win a marathon...spare me. And yes i know its a tongue in cheek programme but lose the sentimentality of the win or die aspect...its nothing short of patronising...even to 5 year olds.

Sure they have it easy, the genetic couriers who took the scenic route past the tonsils have a tougher time.

I almost feel guilty for depositing all those poor innocent sperm onto tissues every day

For some, being the sole sperm that reached the egg will be the greatest achievement of their lives.

For others, it will be posting in this thread...

I flicked on to it by chance and thought it was fantastic. Very funny stuff, much funnier than Stewart Lee which is what I was waiting to see.

You genocidal monster! You're up there with Pol Pot and Adolf Eichmann, you know...

Why does a womens body want to kill my sperm with their acid and pac-man ghosts!?!

Doesn't take much to kill the poor fellas does it?


Why are there ghosts in a woman's body? Sperm should be armed.

I don't think so. I think it's capable of eating them.

I enjoyed the program, loved the touch of the one sperm in the epipydidymis croceting.
