Dog Bites Man

The activities of rampaging, indiscriminate serial killer Ben are recorded by a willingly complicit documentary team, who eventually become his accomplices and active participants. Ben provides casual commentary on the nature of his work and arbitrary musings on topics of interest to him, such as music or the conditions of low-income housing, and even goes so far as to introduce the documentary crew to his family. But their reckless indulgences soon get the better of them.

Dog Bites Man is a partially improvised comedy television show on Comedy Central that aired in summer 2006. It began airing on The Comedy Channel in Australia in June 2007. The series was produced by DreamWorks Television.

In Dog Bites Man, two men (Evo and Darm) try to survive the night in their rented farmhouse after they suspect that their closest neighbor and/or other natives have declared war on them. Throughout the night, moments of comedic bickering between the charismatic and quick-witted men are juxtaposed with moments of violence, hatred, fear, insomnia, and threats of death. The saga is like a sustained duet in an opera, set against a backdrop of threatening, overweight, or possibly imaginary forces. As Evo and Darm attempt to understand why the neighbor and/or other locals would declare war on them, it becomes evident that the two men are outsiders, gourmets, and brandy aficionados, and those sins may be reason enough.
