Peep Show (now with added Mitchell & Webb Look)

I'm a total Peep Show stan, was laughing at every single line here. "I've been screwed- you've, at best, been diddled"
also the fantastic way Jez replied to Mark's "That's a Spinal Tap joke" with "I know..."

Yeah I remember hearing the first M&W Sound and was really looking forward to it being on telly, but it works so much better on radio.

Return to form this week.

No question.

Really liking this series. They lost their way for a bit, but this is the good stuff again.

Aye, we had to pause it for Jez's "she watches porno" song, we were laughing so hard.

"Just because I've never gone to Zimbabwe to buy a fucking cake" was gold.

Totally on top form this week.
"Sussex"
"Fewer"

^haha, yeah, that too. Also, Dobby is a very welcome addition (we went on a history walk in York a few weeks ago taken by some kind of mixture of David Mitchell and Terry Pratchett. I bet he fancies Dobby). Needs more SuperHans, but otherwise, great.

Yeah episode 3 was cracking.

This series has been decent since the slightly flat first episode. There hasn't been one as good as the one last series where Super Hans made Sophie's cousin into his sex slave yet, though.

I don't know - I think the last couple have been right up there with the best ones.

Sophie's new haircut is shit and makes her look rough. There, I said it. Someone had to.

Jez's new girlfriend's pretty tasty on the other hand. Anyone have any idea what her accent is?

Having seen Superhans in Skins, I'm really not missing him from this series. Also quite glad that "Soph" seems to have become a minor character.

Wikipedia tells me she is Ukrainian.

xpost to chap

"Please don't pull me into your emotional fuck pie."

Cracking episode. Nearly every line was gold.

Many many actual lols. Seriously, why is there not more TV of this quality?

The Johnson/Big Suze one last week was mostly pish. This week, gold. Snoopy on a 'lude!

Worst episode of Peep Show ever.

did they cook and eat another dog?

^ this. Come on, it was funny! Mark's sister was good value, also anything involving SuperHans makes it not the worst anything of anything.

i thought it was the worst episode of the series. "Red next to yella cuddly fella" had me laughing though.

I thought last week's was awful. Different strokes, eh? (I watched last week's one sober and this week's one drunk, if that makes a difference)

I thought this week's episode was depressing. There were a couple of lines that got me, but it's been so much better...

I thought this one was the funniest, wtf?

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.
