My favorite joke from that episode is when one of the volleyball women does the Borat impression and Lazlo thinks it's Henry VIII.

I haven’t watched Peep Show in years. I thought about an episode the other day. Maybe this is a sign I should rewatch it. Though I’m also a little worried it might not hold up.

I love that while Jackie Daytona knows that Jim (The Vampire) is a vampire and is thus surprised when it appears that Jim (the Vampire) has drunk his glass empty, Jim (the Vampire) seems equally surprised that Jackie Daytona (Regular Human Bartender) has also finished his own drink.

I rewatched it a year ago and still laughed my rear end off. Helps I have a few friends I can text quotes to and immediately get back the right response. There was also several episodes I didn't remember at all so nice surprise.

I thought about Peep Show recently because Mark's real life wife was on Taskmaster (which I'm finally getting around to watching). Holds up really well. I think anything where the main characters are 100% intended to be detestable imps holds up longer than shows where they're the heroes.

It's a good time to do so since it had its 20th anniversary recently. My partner and I have taken the opportunity to rewatch it for, like, the seventh time (and so has a lot of the rest of the uk judging by what I'm seeing online), and it's still absolutely incredible. Despite the occasional cartoonish moment it is a painfully accurate depiction of being a mediocre english stunted co-dependent male living in the 21st century. Ask me how I know lol

Last few friendsgivings we did, we put on the episode where Mark is going absolutely nuts trying to make a meal with nothing, lettuce in cocktails and a psychotic baked bean uhh casserole of sorts, complete mess. Perfect backdrop to an amazing meal with friends. You feel their pain but also immediately soothe it with food and more functional friendship lol.

recently wrangled my partner into watching just so he can understand where my glowering “fuuuching guyyyyye” comes from and he’s super tickled by the whole thing. it rules to 1) have an excuse to watch from the beginning and 2) see someone else’s reactions to how delightfully ridiculous these hapless vamps are.

Peep Show is fantastic, and I think the reason why is everyone in this show is terrible, and they all bring each other down. Except Dobbie. And Super Hans. I love the long slow decline of Sophie from Mark’s dream girl to walking disaster. The insanity of Alan Johnson. The business secrets of the pharaohs.

Peep Show feels like it got away with some real dark poo poo that I doubt a network American show could have pulled off. The dog episode really shook me the first time I saw it

Lmao yeah, although, if you let the always sunny crew handle it, I could see them going to most of those same dark wells. They already do have a dog meat bit in the suburban episode. .the actual US version they attempted is one of the worst things I've ever seen produced. It has the lovely not-eric replacement from late 70s show seasons as Jez, and one of the big bang theory dudes as Mark. They don't even really attempt to do the POV thing and really smashed everything into generic sitcom style. I think the hardest thing if they ever actually did a real attempt at adaptation would be translating mark. The type of weird little freak he is seems so hyper specific not only to him being British but British of a certain time and class. There are universally needling things about him to translate, but most of them are just so specific to Mark. He is a man made of Problems and if you change the Problems then you change the man.

My favorite godawful attempt at importing a British sitcom has gotta be the Inbetweeners adaptation where it was on MTV so they couldn't say any swears and only one of the kids was even close to ugly

speaking of, a desire for more Matt Berry got me to watch Darkplace and I adored it, but then I only got through the first season of Toast of London before stopping. like it made me laugh at least once an episode but I didn't care to move on to season 2

I'm sure it was mentioned when it was on, but Kayvan Novak voiced a main character throughout season 13 of Archer. I liked it. That's all I got.

Bad news, they’re trying an another American version of Peep Show: https://variety.com/2023/tv/news/minnie-driver-amandla-jahava-peep-show-pilot-fx-1235582761/ Except it’s gender swapped? And features a boss and her assistant instead of two friends/roommates?

It's never amazing, but Berry still has some great material in it. Have you watched AD/BC: A Rock Opera? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JS1eTb6smNM

So I just binged this show for the first time and the thing I am struck by is that I don't think I've ever watched a show where every single episode is this consistently great. I don't think there's a single episode of the show I think is bad? I think all the characters are fantastic, I'm constantly surprised by what the plot of so many episodes is, and I'm delighted with how many supernatural creatures the show has. I also think it's really funny that the doll is STILL a character 5 seasons in. That would be a one of joke in any other show Also I don't feel like the show dipped in quality at all in 5 seasons, which is pretty impressive for any show. You could have an episode from season 1 next to season 5 and you'd be hard pressed to find much of a difference

It's a Something Awful comedy TV show thread so there are definitely some posts like "such and such hilarious episode or funny season is actually not funny and here's a paragraph about why it wasn't funny" but I'm with you, I felt no slump, they continued to grow and evolve the show and it stayed funny. I did a rewatch before this season and even the stuff I'd probably seen too recently to bother rewatching still got me with jokes I missed before.

I’d say if there’s a “worst” season, it might be 4? But even then there were still absolutely brilliant and inspired moments in almost every episode. Show rocks

WWDITS is the only show I will consistently throw on a random episode to watch when I’ve got nothing better making noise in the apartment. Season 4 is absolutely the worst of the series, and still pretty drat good.

It's funny cause The Night Market is probably like top 5 for me, and Nandor's little plotline with the lamp and his wife is hysterical. Also I found the Colin Robinson plotline in season 4 incredible.
