Peep Show (now with added Mitchell & Webb Look)

hiding in a bathroom, crushing candy and quoting shakespeare; the confused high-point of western civiliation

We ended up immediately rewinding the scene when Superhans asks Mark to be his best man. Three times. "You're a meat-and-potatoes, straight-up-and-down, Beef-Wellington, Don’t-trust-the-Argies, dick-in-the vagina, cheddar-cheese and chicken-tikka-masala-man".

lmao

Feel like they're going all-out with this series

Yesterday's was fantastic

Yeah, absolutely hysterical. Particularly Mark not blinking.

yeah it's going out on a high so far. yesterday's felt like vintage peep show. they've had a few good episodes were an awkward, mismatched gathering in their flat involving different levels of subterfuge and quickly descends into recriminations and that was as good as any other.

This week's was the best of this series thus far. A bit on the broad side but they've earned the right to have fun with things at this point. I'm seriously going to miss these characters.

this week's really was all-time wasn't it

i had forgotten how much peep show had pioneered the art of uncomfortableness in modern tv comedy - not exactly cringe comedy a la the office but something stronger

"I'm eating a Fruit Corner, Jez"

or something like that. Killed me.

best episode in living memory

What was it Mark said after putting on the eyeliner? "I've been told it's the fashion, but perhaps I've been misinformed" something like that. Cracked me up.

stop actually rubbing your hands

"I'm sure you're full... of... cum... really"

Just watched it, everybody OTM, that was just glorious. Kind of surprised at a Hans-free ep being an all-time A++ highlight, but there you have it.

so cringey I had to watch it with my hood pulled over my face. terrifying

guys the 'cocktail'

'this tastes like-'

'it's moroccan. very subtle, isn't it?'

Is this Ribena?

ep 2 was my fave so far, the "best man" speech was all-time

reminded me a bit of the Enya funeral speech though

I was going to do that post

also, Mark was making his own hummous in that series where he'd lost his job and was making cutbacks

Easily the weakest of the series so far this. Still some great moments. Enjoyed Mark on Cocaine. But the plot seemed underworked.

Thought this week's was suddenly in danger of being the weakest so far, but it picked up in the second half considerably.

ha, they said they were going to fill the series with references to previous episodes and i noticed one last night - two slices of toast, one brown, one white. brown for main course, white for pudding.

speaking of Toast, it was better, as it usually is

Mark's original bit about the brown and white toast in s1 is probably one of my favourite Peep Show quotes of all time
'but I'm the one who's winning because I actually love brown toast'

also the cereals in the flat a la Gog

Sophie sliding in the ball pool is the most 'me irl' of all time too

feel this season is stretching things a bit too much. cmon mark would never even consider getting back together with sophie.

Kind of lost touch with this, but have they done a callback to Business Secrets of the Pharaohs yet?

They did a whole episode a year or so back about Mark pitching it to someone. It wasn't really a gag that merited an entire plotline.

That does sound like labouring it, yeah.

The episode wasn't bad though iirc.

Last two have been less good definitely, though still fine. Hard to believe that next week is the last ever episode of Peep Show.

Peep Show has been on for a third of my life.

Never known where the show was set.

I thought this episode was great.

They really missed an opportunity in failing to utilize the phrase 'ball pit viper' in this week's episode.

"well that was actually probably my favourite line of the two!"

Perhaps inevitably it was a bit of a disappointing last episode - but what a fantastic run since 2003. I'm really going to miss it.

The last one oddly enough was the weakest. The kidnapping was a bit too ridiculous.

But the thing I felt I'd miss was Super Hans. I was marvelling at his eyes.

yeah it was a bit weak. jesus christ 'toast of london' is an awful show

That didn't feel like a last show, but then anticlimax seems appropriate.

I haven't actually seen it yet, though im not worried about spoilers, but i can't imagine a finale of peep show being anything other than underwhelming or anticlimactic. wouldn't be in the nature of the show to have a resolution, certainly wouldn't be consistent for them to have a happy ending, and in keeping with the general futility and self-inflicted misery of the el dude brothers' sad-sack lives i fully expect the show to end with them in much the same state as when the show started.

That all makes sense but it just wasn't that great an episode in general. I'm not pissed about it but I thought it deserved something a bit better.

I liked it a lot (tho agree ANOTHER kidnapping a bit ott) but bloody recording chopped off what I assume was the last couple of lines :(

**SPOILER**

I almost thought Mark was going to win for a bit although I guessed who'd sent the text

**MORE SPOILERS**

Yeah I guessed who sent the text but thought they'd actually gone

Thought it was a good ending tho.

The last line is important.
