People Just Do Nothing is a BBC television sitcom that was first broadcast in the United Kingdom on BBC Three on 20 July 2014. Created, written and performed by Allan Mustafa, Steve Stamp, Asim Chaudhry and Hugo Chegwin, the programme follows the lives of MC Grindah (Mustafa) and DJ Beats (Chegwin), who run Kurupt FM, a pirate radio station broadcasting garage and drum and bass from Brentford in west London. The show follows a mockumentary format, and was the first BBC Three programme to premiere exclusively on its iPlayer service.

The show started life in 2010 as "Wasteman TV", a YouTube series that was filmed and edited by Asim Chaudhry (Chabuddy G) before the BBC commissioned a pilot on 17 August 2012, which became the most shared iPlayer show for the month. A four-part series was eventually commissioned, which first aired on iPlayer in July 2014, then on terrestrial television the following month. A second series, of five episodes, aired in July 2015.
