Taking on the respective roles made famous by Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan in 'When Harry Met Sally', Johnny Vegas and his monkey pal, Al, recreate the famous, ahem... 'cafe' scene, in this hilarious spoof. With directorial credits under his belt including The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy and iconic promos for Supergrass, Blur and Pulp, Garth's knack for comedy is put to perfect use as a cafe full of diners are treated to Al's orgasmic description of his favourite tea.
We want what Monkey's drinking.
