Criminally Funny

Joe Thomas narrates a series of clips highlighting the folly of inept criminals. The programme features insurance scams that go disastrously wrong, a duo of bear burglars attempting theft, and a range of anti‑social shenanigans that underscore their incompetence in each case.

The programme is presented by Joe Thomas, who provides the voice‑over for a collection of short clips that spotlight criminals who are spectacularly lacking in skill. It follows the same format as earlier installments, with Thomas’s narration linking each mishap together in a light‑hearted, conversational style. The footage on display centres on a handful of distinctly ill‑fated schemes. Viewers see insurance fraud attempts that collapse in the most obvious ways, burglars who inexplicably target a bear, and a variety of other anti‑social antics that end up looking more like slapstick than serious crime. Each segment underscores how the perpetrators’ plans go spectacularly wrong, often leaving them looking foolish rather than threatening. Beyond the core clips, the series leans on Thomas’s dry commentary to add context and a touch of humour, turning each blunder into a brief, self‑contained vignette. The programme’s structure—quick, self‑contained stories tied together by a single narrator—keeps the pacing brisk and the tone consistently informal. In keeping with its premise, the show continues to compile these snapshots of criminal incompetence, offering a straightforward look at how poorly conceived schemes can unravel in the most unexpected and amusing fashions.
