Look Around You

This pitch-perfect parody of British science films (like these ones referenced a few weeks ago) is one of the eight episodes of a BBC series from 2002. They're only available on region 2 dvd, but easily found on youtube.

A second season was done in 2005 (with a very different format, like 3-2-1 contact, but no less absurd), and they're considering making more in the future. It's just started airing in the states last week, somewhere in the "adult swim" lineup. Discovered yesterday, via boingboing.net.
