Using CCTV, dashcam and smart phone footage, each episode examines bizarre, unpredictable and foolish crimes from around the world.<\/p>\n<p><em>Criminally Funny<\/em> is a Workerbee production for Comedy Central UK. It was commissioned by Cherry Yeandle, senior acquisitions and co-production manager at ViacomCBS Networks UK.
