This thread is for Peep Show fans so we can go wild with funny quotes and not keep derailing Helen's Post Of The Week thread. :)

THAT was the bad thing...!

    I think the beauty of this show is not so much the one liners, more the situations where mark has dug himself into a hole and only digs deeper and deeper

    Oh, right. I see. I get it. You were lampooning me. It was a simple lampoon.

    After Mark pretends to take a pill...

    "I think I might be getting the dreaded munchies..."

    "I've just dumped my sister. That feels good. I'm interested to see what I'll do next. Maybe I'll ring up Grandad and tell him I think he's a boring twat."

    Its good because Mitchell and Webb are good, although their current show on BBC is a cheap re-run of the Radio 4 show they put out which was better.

    It also it makes you cringe but not too much like The Office or Extra's but just enough to be funny.


    I hope she doesnt notice my strange balls.

    I prefer the BBC Mitchell and Webb sketch show to Peep Show if im honest, Peep Show was too predictable for me.

    The radio or TV version? The radio one is better.

    I'm a dirty hobbit and she's a sexy elf so she might be... "Oh! You dirty hobbit. Take off my bodkin and my jerkin." "Oh, yeah... pixie ears. But that sword." What if she was a hobbit slayer? I'd just use my enchanted amulet. "Yeah. Yield to me, hobbit-slayer. You will touch my magic cock."

    I live in austria and - obviously - have austrian/german tv channels/series.

    but there seems to be a new british comedy series called "Little Britain" I think. Does anyone know it?

    I watched it yesterday for the first time, and it was quite ok.

    Yes, another series which started on Radio 4 and got worse when it went to TV.

    Superhands is the best character ever.

    When he nicks the chocolate bar...

    "5 finger discount, the secret ingredient is criiime"

    It's hilarious when he gets hooked on crack and then randomly loses it in the recording studio.

    haha, I love Superhands.

    "come on superhands, lets get you some crack."

    I remember the Little britain radio version, was so much better, the first TV series was mainly a re-run of the radio output. Peep show is so funny because everyone knows people like the two main chacters. That and they just dig themselves into bigger and bigger holes all the time. The episode with the Nazi workmate was brillent.

    You can now buy both series on CD for not very much, I'd advise www.play.com they are the cheapest place to get it.

    Worth noting that Mitchell and Webb don't write Peep Show, they are just the performers.

    For their fans it's worth tracking down what you can of their previous work, which as far as I know, in addition to the radio, peep and the new series, also includes -

    Brusier (sketch show written by them and also features Martin Freeman and of course Olivia Coleman
    The Mitchell and Webb Situation (very funny sketch show made for play UK a few years ago)

    And I've just rewatched series 1 of peep show and still can't stop laughing at 'the bad thing'

    I don't think anyone could have performed it like those two though, they are perfect. The bad thing... possibly the funniest thing in series one!

    That's strange, whenever they appear as guests on shows they retain that wit.
