Peep Show (now with added Mitchell & Webb Look)

ha ha - ailsa, I nearly spat out my lunch laughing!

No - for some reason I only seem to empathise with Mark's inadequacies..

Which sadly probably confirms that Guardian comment that all blokes watching Peep Show would like to be Superhans, believe they're probably more Jez, but are actually Mark.

all blokes watching Peep Show would like to be Superhans

Haha WHAT?!

the other time jez tried to do something normal (that i can remember) was when superhans got him a job in a recording studio - loved that episode

This episode was excellent.

It was so Series Two. I loved it. We haven't had such an outright episode-stealing female supporting character since ... probably the defendant in Jeremy's jury duty episode.

"mummy, coffee, hurry fucky uppy"

I like how the only reason they got a deal in the first place was because Psycho Dominatrix Woman had a load of record company budget to spend before the end of year, might as well waste it on these losers.

"sitting on a rock, crying and wanking"

That was a great flight of fancy, that sex therapist plane crash thing.

I think my favourite line came when Mark was mulling over the virtues of being told what to do in bed. "Is this humiliating? It is a bit humiliating. I guess the upside is that what I was doing before was humiliating in ways I wasn't even aware of".

Sixth series has been commissioned. I fear it may be one too far.

"one"

tbf, this last one was better than series four.

Peep Show recently beat BBC4's The Thick of It, ITV's Benidorm, and also The IT Crowd to be named best sitcom at the 2008 BAFTAs.

there was only one bad ep in this series of peep show, and i've forgotten what happened in it, and there was an excellent self-referential gag where mark says "i'm really pushing the envelope!!" but i've forgotten that now too.

loltastic:

"So, what was your news?"

This was awesome. The Jeremy episode I wanted finally came, although it was a BIT weird. I loved the 'reveal' gag that they don't usually do, of Jeremy talking about the cult and then they reveal SuperHans in an identical buttoned up shirt.

There was one line that had me laughing for ages, I can't remember what it was though... I'll have to watch it again!

Can someone shove the Mortal Kombat "FINISH HER" text over this? We may have an image macro if we do.

"you put up a document on that baby, and you are really looking at that document"

"I can't fire people, I'm British Leyland in 1976"

What we need is an animated gif, but I can't do them.

david mitchell has been writing the funny sports bit in the observer for the last few weeks. here's the last one:

http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/sport/2008/06/14/televised_traffic_is_nothing_b.html

"It's like something out of an Injury Lawyers 4U advert. Doubtless a whiplashed Raikkonen will be suing 'no win no fee' for thousands of pounds, almost enough to buy an F1 tyre: 'and the good news is, they've re-sited that pit lane.'"

(am trying to find the other two but searching for david mitchell on the guardian web site throws up a lot of book reviews and lit blog stuff...)

watched first 4 episodes of series 4 last night... first one where they visit sophie's parents was classic, second with project zeus was not too far behind ("great, now I'm getting an angry lapdance"), 3+4 were kinda meh.

oh look series 5 is on dvd now.

also this thread needs more animated gifs

like jez's job interview tic from series 1

The best episode in S4 was the school reunion, by a mile.

Um...I sort of lost track here, but I love Peep Show so thanks for that!

Royal to marry Peep Show actress!

booo

This series of Mitchell & Webb has been quite good so far.

Snooker guys = still as funny as bowel cancer

nah, they go over my head. OTOH the rest of the series is brilliant.

Bowel cancer isn't funny, or have I misunderstood you?

I wouldn't go as far as brilliant. The bit that made me laugh the most last night was Polite Taxi Driver. I actually thought the snooker commentators were a bit funnier than usual.

the first two get me hennimore sketches were brilliant. they've fallen away since, or is that the point? pretty quality all around imo.

there's been some good bits every week. i watched the last 3 back to back the other night. i liked the meta sketch where they discuss the hits/misses ratio of the show and did their smug voices. also HENNIMOOOOORE.

Bowel cancer isn't funny, or have I misunderstood you?

1/2 tempted to use that as a Display Name.

David Mitchell's column is pretty much the best thing in the Observer at the moment (which isn't that hard).

Although having just said that he doesn't appear to have one today!

Back back back next Friday!

Bit of a dud that one.

I thought it was alright. Men with ven got a laugh the first time. I find Peep Show a bit diminishing returns in general really. Oh and the wedding between the royal and Sophie Winkelmann just happened, I saw it on the cover of some woman's magazine. In case anyone was interested.

given it's the sixth season/series, i thought it was pretty dece.

Men with ven was a good joke, yes. I also liked the reversal of the German guy Mark was lampooning being very urbane and smooth.

"froenkforrt" was the only bt i lolled at.
