Psychoville Mr Jolly - Tumblr Posts

Now that I think about it, Hattie, the desperately lonely makeup artist from season 2, has some similarities to 🦉 except the show recognizes she's awful, all while still making her feel human and giving her some moments that left me in stiches.

You know, I was wondering why both Blitz and Fizz feel like they remind me of something but in different ways.

Then I remember Mr. Jelly from Psychoville, who is a crass, alcoholic, amputee birthday clown who is played by on of the show's creators.

Also, the doctor who helped Jelly get accustomed to his prosthetics took a liking to clowning and became Mr. Jolly, whom Jelly is in fierce competition with also being constantly mistaken for him.

Yes, this is a thinly veiled attempt at getting you to watch the show, but it was super underrated and had ARG elements that would've gotten it way more than just 2 seasons had it come out just a few years later. And if nothing else, it's better as a dramatic adult comedy than HB.

LMAO????

Here's the rundown of her plotline:

Hattie has a gay friend who's currently dating a guy from Iran whose visa shortly expires. The friend asks Hattie to marry the Iranian guy (whose name I can't remember) so he can stay in the UK.

The thing is that Hattie's been through a bad relationship with a nasty break up (that's all the info we get) and desperately wants another man in her life.

A few days after the "wedding", while her friend's out of town, she convinces the Iranian guy to come over, uses threats of reporting him and having him deported back to Iran if he doesn't stay the night, chains his leg to a radiator in his sleep and spends the rest of the season trying to brainwash him.

And yes, as I've said before, the writers somehow manage to make all of this simultaneously horrifying and hilarious.

I think that should make the parallels clearer.
