Never watched Fawlty Towers or Monty Python? Red Dwarf? Blackadder?

To be fair, I don't think it's hilariously funny either; it's more the ideas in it, the fantasy world and the way they skew fantasy tropes, like having fairies be big burly bruiser policemen who snarl "Shut it you!" and a wizard who's so drunk that half the time he doesn't know what the **** he's doing. In the first episode, when we meet him, he is under the desk and says "Hold on, I need me glasses", grabs two pints, drains them and says "That's better! I can see now!"
