About This Program

"The Mattress" is a programme presented as a single episode and classified within the comedy genre. It falls under the broader category of television programmes, specifically an episode‑length story. The title itself hints at a domestic element that becomes central to the narrative, and the format suggests a self‑contained plot rather than an ongoing series. It is presented as a single, self‑contained story rather than part of a longer series. In this installment, the characters Jake and Amy are paired on a professional investigation. While they collaborate on the case, the tension escalates when a dispute arises concerning Jake's dilapidated, well‑worn mattress. The disagreement over the shabby piece of furniture diverts their focus from the investigation, creating a comedic clash that drives the episode's humour. Their interaction highlights how a trivial domestic issue can interfere with a serious task. The quarrel over the bedding becomes the focal point, pushing the case to the background. The episode leans heavily into comedy, with the conflict over the mattress providing the primary source of laughs. Andy Samberg appears in the cast, contributing his recognised comedic style to the proceedings. The humour is derived from the characters' exaggerated reactions and the absurdity of letting a piece of bedroom furniture dominate a police‑type case. Samberg's presence ensures the humour stays light and accessible throughout. Overall, the episode delivers a light‑hearted, situational comedy centred on an unlikely source of disagreement.
