Chirpy Cuckoo is here to stay
When middle-class parents Ken and Lorna (the excellent Greg Davies and Helen Baxendale) meet their beloved 18-year-old daughter Rachel (Tamla Kari), who's been on a gap year in Thailand, at the airport, they're shocked to find she's brought home a husband: the titular Cuckoo (Samberg), a New Age guff-spouting hippy who declares himself "part-teacher, part-visionary, part-firebrand". The part Cuckoo left out is that he's also an idiot and a loafer. "Didn't you see my Facebook message?" she asks Ken.
Were it not for my 16-year-old daughter, I'd never have heard of the wonderful Andy Samberg, star of BBC3's new comedy Cuckoo, as early as I did. Thirty-four-year-old Samberg is a soaring star in the US.
We saw him undergo brain scans, tests and an interrogation by the eight-times world memory champion, who thought Aurelien was using a recall technique. He isn't; he's for real, but doesn't know how he does it. The problem was that Aurelien takes the gift, if that's what you'd call it, in his stride.
Far more interesting was a Los Angeles woman called Jill, whose memory is even more powerful than Aurelien. Her inability to forget even the tiniest detail means she's constantly reliving past embarrassments and emotional traumas.
In no time at all, Cuckoo's pseudo-mystical codology ("The longest journey I've ever taken was inside my own mind, it was lonely and it was perilous") has won over Lorna, who's flattered when he compliments her "jack-ette potatoes", which he's never eaten before. Unable to kick Cuckoo out without also losing Rachel, who's decided she wants to "set up a leper colony in some violent, war-torn state", Ken quietly tries to pay Cuckoo off with but it backfires when he returns having used the money to buy a "jack-ette potato" van.
Samberg is here to stay and Cuckoo will be around for a while too, I reckon.
Cuckoo occasionally swings wide for laughs and generally gets them, while the chemistry between Samberg, who plays the part to perfection, and the tall Davies, carries it through the quieter patches.
He recently finished a seven-year stint on Saturday Night Live, where the pre-filmed comedy sketches, known as <a href="***********.jswingstopshop.com/">adidas shoes with wings</a> digital shorts, he made with the fellow members of his comedy troupe the Lonely Island were a regular highlight of the show.
The Boy Who Can't Forget was less than the <a href="***********.jswingstopshop.com/men-shoes-c-2.html">Men jeremy scott wings 2.0</a> sum of its parts. Aurelien, a university student from Wales, has <a href="***********.jswingstopshop.com/womens-shoes-c-3.html">Women jeremy scott wings 2.0</a> a remarkable facility for remembering practically every single day of his life since the age of four.
"I don't do Facebook, Rachel. I'm 45."
There have been movie appearances, too, including striking supporting roles in Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist and I Love You, Man, one Lonely Island feature (the daft-but-funny stuntman comedy Hot Rod) and a rather less salubrious turn in Adam Sandler's execrable That's My Boy.
The YouTube hits for the Lonely Island's music videos, a riotously funny combination of polished <a href="h***********.jswingstopshop.com/">adidas wings 2.0</a> hip-hop and side-splitting lyrics featuring celebrity guests/friends (Justin Timberlake is a regular collaborator), are in the hundreds of millions, while the two spin-off albums have been huge sellers.
It's a good choice, though, because Cuckoo got off to a hugely promising start and provides Samberg, who radiates charm, charisma and goofy warmth from his mobile comedy face, with a splendid showcase.
Teenagers can be useful educational tools for the <a href="***********.jswingstopshop.com/">jeremy scott wings 2.0</a> middle-aged to have around the house, even if they do tend to cost more in the long run than a brand new 32-volume set of Encyclopaedia Britannica.
Most SNL alumni -- Sandler, Chevy Chase, Dan Aykroyd, Eddie Murphy, Mike Myers -- have headed straight to Hollywood movie careers, which makes Samberg's decision to sign up for a BBC comedy adventurous.
