Peep Show (now with added Mitchell & Webb Look)

Yeah, I don't understand. People seem to make these pronouncements at some point in every series. "Worst evah!" PS is consistently high-quality and funny, even if the level of funny tends to rise and fall a bit from episode to episode. I guess some folks just need something to bitch about.

(I would probably agree, though, that the Grand Guignol series 4 was the weakest.)

i don't know, last ep was good overall but got a little wacky/wonky at the end. mark seemed really out of character, the sophie & dad/marriage thing just rang a little forced to me.

Thought it was a fairly poor ep, like it's easy to sit back and laugh but the plot of the ep was telegraphed a mile off. Plus Mark vomming after doing the bong hit was so predictable that them dragging it out made it even worse.

I am enjoying Jeremy's almost sensible emotional honesty in this series. Plus his gf (and her gf) are absolutely smoking...

Just rewatched sober (could barely remember a thing about it) and thought it was pretty good this time, if a bit over-stuffed with supporting characters. Maybe I was too pissed to understand the jokes last night.

This series has hung extremely disjointedly. I don't remember the other series being like this. It didn't even seem like a series, really.

so i watched the first couple series on on hulu but i dont know if i can keep watching this after the 3rd season, mark saying yes to marrying sophie is so horrible

i mean, hilarious, obviously

but horrible

The end of series 4 is more horrible (though it's generally agreed that S4 is the worst).

Series 4 is the worst but has a couple of good moments, S5 is a return to form by and large, S6 is a bit patchy but generally enjoyable.

The episode with the dog on the barge is so far and away the worst ep, maybe rivalled by Mark's wedding.

you guys are talking "worst" in terms of "humor" or in terms of "horrible moments that make you sad"

In the case of Series 4, both.

maybe ill just skip it then

It's worth watching for the School Reunion one alone.

Best one in series 2 is the gig at Dartmouth University imo.

I dunno, I'd just watch the whole thing - substandard Peep Show is still pretty great. You should probably at least watch the last episode, as that's the one where plot happens.

xpost - I think that's my favourite episode they've ever done.

yeah the dartmouth episode is great

The ending of the Darty episode is genuinely heartbreaking.

It's like the double whammy of watching both a really cute potential girlfriend and your youth slipping away at exactly the same moment.

lol the "business studs". oh man i haven't seen that in years... shd rescreen.

darthmouth has malcolm tucker in it too

yeah. isn't there an ep where julius (baldemort) turns up?

yeah hes the foreman in the episode where jez has jury duty

Agreed that the school reunion one is the best of S4. It's also the one with The Orgazoid.

Just realised that Alex McQueen is the new Mark Heep/Kevin Eldon.

Starting from the beginning after seeing a few random episodes over xmas. First episode was a very promising start just now.

The episode with the dog on the barge is so far and away the worst ep, maybe rivalled by Mark's wedding.

I don't know about worst...well, maybe worst. But those are definitely the points (and S4 in general) where they were milking some pretty dark stuff for laughs, and the show threatened to become something more akin to League of Gentlemen.

The dog one wasn't great but I thought Mark's wedding was hilarious!

Yeah, Mark's wedding is one of my favorite episodes of anything. It's kind of amazing that a show can push the discomfort level that high without sacrificing lols. The whole scene with Mark and Jez hiding upstairs ("how many missed calls?", "prayer bucket", the coin toss and "I'm excited!") is brilliant.

Just re-watched season 6 and it's even greater than I remembered. Elena grows on you, and the Jez & Mez stuff is still pure gold.

oh great, now I'm getting an angry lapdance

isn't that S4? one of my favorite lines

then again I thought the dog episode was hilarious

The only bad thing about the dog episode was that they took it too far and it became really unbelievable and a bit stupid at the end. The stag weekend stuff with the two women was great.

Museum, lunch, and a snooze! The big three!

S1E3, the one with the teenage goth and the bowling and the shopping... oh my, that was wonderful.

Also, I love how "Jeff!??!!" has become a sort-of catchphrase. Every time Sophie/anyone mentions him it causes Mark to splutter his name angrily.

Elena grows on you

What, as a horrible horrible person?

> Museum, lunch, and a snooze! The big three!

as good as a blowjob and a twirl?

S2E1: "This is good. This is like watching a porno, except I can't see anything, I haven't got a hard-on, and I want to cry."

one of the classics.

The final scenes of S1E4, with the confrontation with Johnson and the realisation about 'the bad thing'...

What I meant about Elena is that I thought she stuck out as unconvincing - an actress playing a weird part - first time round, particularly as I totally buy every other character as being real.
Second time around she seems more believable, not sure why - maybe I've met some vile people in the interim :)

i think i would buy a script book of this show

pretty sure it exists

Am I right in thinking series 7, whenever it comes out, will be the final series?

There's been so many supposedly final series of Peep Show.

first time round, particularly as I totally buy every other character as being real.

I don't really buy into any of Jeremy's lust objects as being real, except maybe Toni. It doesn't really matter seeing as we only see them through Jeremy's crazed mind.

yeah big sooz is way too hot for jeremy

They all are! Elena and Nancy are both incredible looking too.

yeah i forgot how hot nancy was. it was kind of annoying i thought since soph and toni look like such regular people.
