''Bruiser'' was a short-lived British sketch comedy that aired for one series in 2000. While it was not successful, it's remembered for bringing together a group of young performers several of whom would go on to become stars: Creator/{{David Mitchell|Actor}}, Creator/RobertWebb, Creator/MartinFreeman, Creator/OliviaColman, [[Series/GarthMarenghisDarkplace Matt Holness]] and Charlotte Hudson.
----
!!Bruiser contains examples of the following:
* BlackComedy: From a life-weary father begging his daughter for an early death to an obvious sociopath asking for violent methods to kill his wife, the show has buckets of morbid humour.
* TheBluebeard: The bespectacled man from the "Do You Do Poison" sketches obviously has a problem with his wife. Several problems. And maybe several wives.
* BritishBrevity: Only six episodes aired.
* TheEeyore: David Mitchell's "Life-Weary Father", who's so fed up with life that he's already arranging his own burial and expects his long-suffering daughter to put him out of his misery.
* FinishingEachOthersSentences: Two main examples:
** The cops portrayed by Mitchell and Webb - Webb often blanks and relies on Mitchell to finish his sentences, whether they be common sayings or descriptions of what is happening onscreen.
** The two women talking in a pub played by Colman and Hudson. Discussing their sex lives, the two frequently finish each others' sentences... until Colman inevitably goes just a bit too far.
* FleetingPassionateHobbies: In a series of sketches about a married couple, the husband always has a new obsession (claiming to be gay, a nudist or a Muslim) while the wife accuses him of making it all up.
* GoodCopBadCop: Attempted by two cops played by David Mitchell (the bad cop, whose act consists mostly of randomly shouting profanities) and Robert Webb (the good cop) in interrogating a subject as part of a documentary series.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: The "Do You Do Poison" sketch involves an ObviouslyEvil [[TheBluebeard uxoricidal]] man conspicuously asking various shop owners about the lethality of the products they sell, starting with basic rat poison and blunt objects before getting increasingly absurd and conceptual (i.e. asking a librarian if they had poetry so sad it could make a person cry to death).
* IResembleThatRemark: The "victim" in the touchy sketches.
* NobodyLovesTheBassist: {{Parodied}} in a sketch in Episode 6. The band members of "Pussy on a Stick" all get applause, except for Holness (the bassist). After the performance, they all get women's underwear thrown at them... Holness gets an egg. Backstage, they are making out with groupies, except Holness, who sits alone reading a newspaper.
* PoliceBrutality: David Mitchell's cop character is prone to this.
* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: The "Do You Do Poison" guy definitely ''doesn't'' want to kill his 50-year-old wife with rat poison, or a rake, or battering spades, [[ImprobableWeaponUser or a holiday ticket, or a spiked mace made of dictionaries]], [[OverlyLongGag or...]]
** The final sketch [[SubvertedTrope subverts]] it by opening with him overtly announcing that he wants to kill his wife, though this time, the shopkeeper actually does do poison.
* TakeThat: From one "Do You Do Poison" skit:
-->'''Poison Guy''': Do you do poison?
-->'''Shopkeeper''': No sir, just shit, this is Skegness.
