Travel Man: 48 Hours in...

British comedic actor Richard Ayoade goes to a world city destination with a fellow celebrity for a 48 hour trip. The question is whether it's actually a good idea. We're here, but should we have come? This is travel without mercy.

Ayoade has a dry sardonic wit. He plays up his deadpan uptight uncomfortableness, the essential reluctant traveler. The comedy is best when things don't go right. Of course, I don't get most of the British references or know every British celebrities. Above everything else, Ayoade's nice easy funny personality is the main selling point. He is actually quite energetic despite his low key style of comedy. He tends to like funiculars and asks the guest their favorite highlight at the end of each episode.

After 9 series, Ayoade is replaced with Joe Lycett. It could be contractual problems although chances are that he's too busy. I have no idea who is this Joe Lycett. He has a nice sarcastic humor, but it is less energetic. I struggle to finish his first episode. I skip to the Aisling Bea episode. She's the only name I recognize and I like her comedy. She delivers a few jokes, but it is less fun than all the Ayoade episodes. I'm stopping at this point.

The little 'info' bubbles appear and disappears far too fast. The show is funny, interesting and informative. I only wish the wee info bubbles stayed in screen a wee bit longer. Otherwise this show would have had an almost perfect score of 9.5. The show makes a person long for travel to some destinations within Europe. I have started on the very last season and am working my way backwards and have only seen European travel but it makes this travel junkie Canadian quite interested in going back to preacious destinations where I feel I have missed things now and also visit new places. Must get on an an airplane NOW!!!

When you find your self rewinding the show so you don't miss any details, you know you've found a great show. Sardonic to no end, Richard Ayoade will not spare his feelings to the camera or the locals, good or bad. LAUGH OUT LOUD FUNNY, even if half of the references are lost on me because I'm not British.

AND THE OUTFITS! Richard can be seen wearing yellow pants, a yellow chore jacket, and a blue neck tie like it's no big deal. Shout out to the stylist.

The dry humour of Richard Ayoade is beyond compare; seemingly mundane happenings are made hilarious by this absolute hero as he travels around various countries and cities experiencing what they have to offer, as well as giving sound travel advice. His quiet sarcastic comments to foreigners who don't fully understand him brings a joy that is difficult to find elsewhere. Every episode brings several minutes worth of uncontrollable laughter, which is hard to find elsewhere. Richard Ayoade is by far my favourite comedian at the moment, anything he lends his hand to is pure gold. I look forward to anything else he may be appearing in, particularly if the rumours of the Great British Bakeoff are true.

I could watch this show on repeat indefinitely forever.

No offence to people who make travel shows such as Martin Clunes (and a few others) but they're boring.

However Richard puts a new spin on it, I actually hate travel shows yet he's managed to make me watch almost every episode. The man is comedy genius.

The odd clothing, the hair, the phrases he comes out with. It all comes together to make a brilliant tv show.

And for those who get bored of him, he has a celebrity guest each trip to keep it fresh. (And they're not washed up has beens either)
