England's--and Comedy Central's--soporific spitfires, who won an Oscar with their first animated short, Bob's Birthday, return with another collection of their tentative travails. In "The Burglary," the very British (and, hence, very low key) Bob and Margaret are robbed by thieves who talk as if they've been watching too much Martha Stewart Living. And that's when their real troubles start--they try to scam their insurance company for far nicer items than the ones they actually lost. The second episode, "The Neighbors," offers a cynically sinister, and pretty darn funny, view of suburbia. Bob and Margaret--and, it seems, the entire block--time their morning departures for work so as not to have to chat with their neighbors. B&M try to get out of this rut by befriending their new neighbors, an American satellite-dish sales rep and his bovine Quebecois wife (Bob and Margaret enjoys slagging Canadians more than Americans). Needless to say, it doesn't work out too well.
This volume finds the pair at their observational best, particularly in the gags about how technology has gotten so useful, or at least so impressively advanced that the average person has no option but to fear it. --David Kronke
