I gotta say that my favorite episode is when Mark befriends the neo-Nazi. It even has Super Hans smoking crack!Steve2911 posted:I very much doubt there'll be a definitive "ending", good or bad.

Jerry was lame even when he was getting dragged away in his own sleeping bag. Good riddance, loser.

I don't think Series 8 was awful, but there weren't as many iconic moments in it compared to other series. Jez taking up life coaching was my favorite recurring theme. I'm also partial to the throwaway gag in the last Series 8 episode where Mark distracts himself from Jeremy by announcing that the cover of the magazine that he's about to read has an interview with the then-new coach of the U.S. men's soccer team Jurgen Klinsmann. Three years later, we're seeing the end of both Peep Show and (God willing) Klinsmann's tenure as coach. Seriously, a scoreless draw against Trinidad & Tobago? gently caress off already.

Dobby went punk and bagged a Brooklyn hipster caricature that beat the poo poo out of Mark. Good for her! I hope it lasts. Great episode all around.

Gorn Myson posted:I love how Mark completely disintegrated with one small, inoffensive phone call. One second hes going along with Jez's idea and the second hes having a full mental breakdown. One thing that got me was the "don't cross the streams" reference when they already referred to Ghostbusters before. It's the little things.

Speaking of which, how did Super Hans escape that cult that he joined at the end of Series 5? I know it's not important to the show in the grand scheme of things, but cult compounds are usually very protected against people who want to leave.

The end was sorta underwhelming. I guess they wanted to wrap up the Mark/April and Threeism plots quickly. I did like Jeremy's life coaching session that went wrong, though.

I recommended Peep Show to my cousin. He says that he doesn't appreciate cringeworthy moments on TV shows the first time he sees them. With that in mind, I refrained from telling him that there is a moment where one of the characters eats a dog.Rabelais D posted:I consider myself a true connoisseur of peep show and this series is already clearly superior to series 8 in every way This AV Club article about "Flagpole Sitta" isn't exclusively about Peep Show, but I like to think it's a major reason why the song endures in pop culture.

I think it was better than the last episode. Wish there was more of a payoff with the escaped snake, though. How is Sophie not dead?

massive spider posted:Christ, gently caress sophie. And while this has nothing to do with her character, she's someone you can point to when people want an example of ugly actors/actresses on British TV. I don't watch enough of those shows outside of Peep Show, but it's apparently enough of an established trope that people make jokes about it. Kinda telling that one of the two good-looking recurring objects of affection on this show is American (the other one is April). get that OUT of my face fucked around with this message at 04:30 on Dec 10, 2015 |

The two episodes that I'll show to people who want to get into Peep Show are Jeremy Makes It (aka Mark Befriends a Neo-Nazi) and Vacation... although that one might backfire due to the whole dog eating thing. After that, Wedding is where it's at. I told my cousin that he'd love this show, but he said he's not a fan of cringe humor the first time around. Boy is he in for some awkward viewing.

Considering how abysmal other attempts at bringing British comedies across the pond have turned out, it's a miracle that the American version of The Office was as good as it was. I didn't even know there was an American Peep Show attempt, but I did know that there was one for The IT Crowd, and it was just as awful. That's in addition to the other shows people have posted here.

A lot of funny moments, a final "gently caress you" from Jeff, Jeremy ruining Mark's life, a ridiculous plot to win affection from a woman, said plan backfiring with everyone involved losing the people they love, and finally a moment where Mark and Jez discuss killing each other. A perfect send-off, if you ask me. Godspeed, El Dude Bros.

Series 9 did a better job with Jeremy's life coaching scheme than Series 8. I wouldn't say 8 is bad, because Peep Show is (IMO) varying degrees of good, but it's not at the top of its game.

Jez is unlikable because he's a lazy mooch with no aim in life. Mark is unlikable because he's a pompous jackass and thinks he's smarter and better than he actually is. So in terms of who's "better" I'll say it's Jez. Sophie strikes me as more of a tragic character than an unlikable one. After getting jilted by Mark, her life fell apart to the point where she's completely sloshed at a children's play place.
