Well, this caught me by surprise.  It's the third rendition of this line-up (after two last year) but it feels fresher than either of its predecessors, or indeed much of Series Six.  I laughed out loud a few times, and not just at the interactions with Clive.  With Greg in Fixed Expressions instead of Steve Frost (no offense to him), the dynamic is just much better, and this is true of other games.  Even Sound Effects and Hoedown aren't bad, especially the latter, which is about sex, and goes from Greg teasing Tony's slutty image to Tony confirming the image by wanting to sit on Barbara Bush!  Also, Greg seems quite amused by Tony in World's Worst, where Tony even embarrasses himself, twice.  Old Job New Job is probably the best game with Ryan and Colin, as Colin and Greg are the bereaved and Ryan is the used car salesman turned mortician.
