Peep Show

[Peace-Phoenix]

Anyone a fan? I love this show, Mitchell and Webb make a great team, true comic geniuses who, I think, are up there in the league of Fry and Laurie. They also met at Cambridge. I like the format of Peep Show, always seeing things through the eyes of one character in the room, and hearing their thoughts. Mitchell especially is good at the monologue of the sad bastard. I love the way they aren't afraid to be controversial, and will happily show a scene with someone blacking up, both denouncing racism in popular culture and giving hyper political correctness a shot across the bow. And the character of Superhands is hilarious...

"Don't worry, Superhands is on the crack today."

"Mmm, this crack's a bit moreish..."

Love it; it's a really brilliant concept and very funny. The sad git internal monologue is just genius, it sums up exactly what it's lke to be a talentless loser who can't get a girlfriend ... not that I would know of course!http://www.hipforums.com/forums/images/smilies/embarassed.gif

Mitchell and Webb didn't actually write Peep Show as far as I'm aware; I do like their comedy, listened to their Radio 4 show a few times, but I don't think it compares to Peep Show for originalityhttp://www.hipforums.com/forums/images/smilies/confused.gif

Yeah peep show is excellent stuff! So awkward...

[Peace-Phoenix]

Have you seen the new 'That Mitchell and Webb Look?' It doesn't compare to Peep Show for its originality, but as a sketch show it is very funny....

[Hippie_Girl]

They are both amazing shows and oh so different! I particularly love Peep Show for its camera work!! And the one liners are amazing!!! I love the tall guys (can't remember his name) in 'Smoking Room'! TOP CLASS!

Although it's insane to compare these two to the genius of Fry and Laurie, i do like them. I never really saw that many Peep Shows, but what i saw i liked, even if i didn't find it particularly laugh-out-loud funny, and the one with the Hitler haircut is always very funny on panel shows. Caught bits of the first Mitchell and Webb Show and quite liked it, but i've not seen anything else yet, so i'll reserve my judgement.

I always thought "Numberwang" was a bit of a stroke of genius:)

ah! that cracked me up too!

[Cerebus]

Watched it properly the other night, dear God it was awful..! Full of "will this do?" humour, i did not laugh. Disappointing.

I've recently got into Peep Show... Good stuff! Superhands is hilarious...

"Johnson is coming! Johnson is coming!"

I'll suck for crack!

[Peace-Phoenix]

You've just gotta love Super Hans, best character by far....

[Peace-Phoenix]

Can't wait for the new series starting tonight! I'm counting down to it now!

[Harry Tuttle]

oh! what channel pp?

[Peace-Phoenix]

Channel 4, 10.30....

[Peace-Phoenix]

Good episode, though not as funny as some....

[lithium]

It's always quality!:D

[Peace-Phoenix]

It's always quality!:DBecause you are Mark Corrigan!

[lithium]

Haha, well I think there's a little of Mark Corrigan in everyone... I just happen to have a bit more than mosthttp://www.hipforums.com/forums/images/smilies/embarassed.gif

[Peace-Phoenix]

Sometimes when something or someone is pissing me off, I tend to slag it off in my head, and the voice in which I'm slagging it off turns out to be Mark's....

[Peace-Phoenix]

Best episode of the series, one of the funniest I've ever seen actually. The ending was hilarious, had me laughing for a good minute after the credits rolled....

[ripple]

Yip, it was a classic tonight!

[phoenix_indigo]

i will not wear Hitler's boots ... i will not wear Hitler's boots.

[Peace-Phoenix]

You'll wear them and you'll like them my fellow phoenix :tongue:

[phoenix_indigo]

nooo ... you can't make me and if you do i'll um ... have a barbeque canine style ;)

guess i'm not the only person who can't sleep

[Peace-Phoenix]

I can sleep and I must sleep, but alas I've got to revise! Got a tight schedule to keep. I hate exams! Thankfully I've finished my coursework though. Are you still interested in reading the novel? I could send in the next couple of days if you like?

[phoenix_indigo]

yeah, definitely! might take me awhile as i hate sitting on the comp for really long periods of times but i'd love to give it a read. you write your messages so well on here, can't imagine what your proper literary endeavors will be like.

[fountains of nay]

I actually managed to catch an episode last night, pretty funny :)

[nynysuts]

Half watching and half rewatching the first 4 series (series 5 isn't on 4OD yet grumble, grumble) and it's just amazing, though my sister sat and made stupid remarks about how all the characters seemed a bit 'slow' :rolleyes: Just love how its so unconventional and how it portrys awkwardness, there's situations I identify with...

[verseau_miracle]

A Peep Show thread i hasnt posted in?
Like ooooomgawd

[Azog 150]

Only seen the latest series but I thought it was hilarious. A few of the situations I can relate to as well (Not something I like admitting :p)- which makes it even funnier.

Mitchell and Webb didn't actually write Peep Show as far as I'm aware; I do like their comedy


i know they dont write peep show but check out this pilot for a show they did write years ago - i think it may be were the writers of peep show got their idea. i LOVE it.
