Comedy Central's listlessly restless, prim and improper British couple (first seen in the Oscar-winning animated short <i>Bob's Birthday</i>) hit video with this two-episode volume that finds them repeatedly foiled in rare moments of attempted intimacy. In the first, "A Night In," the remarkably unremarkable Bob and Margaret try to figure out how to spend an evening together and can come up with nothing better than renting a movie and phoning out for pizza. But even that simple plan goes awry. In the other episode, "Discomfort of Strangers," Bob's annoying Canadian cousins--the loud, cheap, and sweaty Melvin and Cookie (who make ugly Americans seem positively palatable)--barge in, virtually unannounced as Bob and Margaret plan a second honeymoon.<p> Largely, B&M eschew big gags in favor of smaller, more observational humor with a benignly adult edge on the proceedings. Those who love animation because it can do so much more visually than live-action comedy won't be terribly impressed, but fans of low-key and deadpan humor will have an extremely mild blast. Here's the couple's key exchange: Bob says, "We're not boring." Margaret responds, "Yes, we are." And, funny enough, they're both right. <I>--David Kronke</I>
