So what did you think of the Peep Show finale?
>>
>>63730669

Guess I'll post this again tomorrow when Brits aren't asleep.
>>
shit desu senpai and why are people still making xvid avi encodes in the year twenty fifteen?
>>
>>63730963

I dunno, I just wanted a screencap of the final shot for the thread.

Im gonna watch it right now actually. Expecting good things, the last season has been the same quality is previous ones.
>>
>>63731012
This season wasn't terrible but it was easily worse than the last, and the finale was probably the least funniest episode.
>>
>>63731012

I thought this season was pretty good, but it was a lot better at the start of its run.
>>
>>63731073
>>63731083
I think the first few were best but the most recent season was just as good as 7-8. I didn't like the prior Dobby drama desu.
>>
>>63731073
i thought episode 5 was great

finale was alright
>>
I like that they didn't do anything super ridiculous.
Jez and Mark will be together forever. I'll miss you, El Dude Brothers.
>>
The finale was depressingly normal and depressing.

It's everything I wanted.

This is literally JUST the type of rehash I was expecting, it's nothing but a glib facsimile.

If Star Wars was all I had access to as a child in terms of sci-fi I probably would become one of those crazy fanboys, but thankfully I had access to anime from very early on in my youth years that my mental balance is very stable.

Seriously, if you have watched Akira, you'd realize just how sophisticated anime is and it blows away anything Star Wars would have to offer.

A lot of people mention Ghost In The Shell, which has just enough of sexuality in the mix to draw in the western audience I suppose but I must say that Ghost In The Shell is not even in my top 10 anime, not even close, that's just how deep the world of anime is.

Some anime is so disturbingly mature like Fractale that I wish it would challenge the system and submit it as a Drama category in the Oscars just to bitchslap the snotty Academy.

It's not just the level of maturity and sophistication anime has, it's also quite original, entertaining, and visually fantastic. I would regard anime as the highest form of cinema art-form.

But hey, me preaching about anime won't do you any good, you gotta go out and see it for yourself just how much you are missing.

The recent one I would recommend to check out is Sword Art Online which is light and easy to get into anime for the first time yet appreciate it as much, but if you want the heavy stuff right off the line check out Guilty Crown in which the plot is so complex and twisted that you'll need extra oxygen pumped into your brain in order to comprehend everything, and if you want amazing visuals and a gripping drama that also has awesome mecha battles Aldnoah.Zero is the shit.

Seriously, if you know anime like I do, Star Wars looks like it's something for little children
>>
>>63732039
This, pretty much.

As much as everything seemed a little unresolved, I guess in many ways that's probably what they were aiming for. I'm glad that they stuck with the general vibe of the show and didn't tie-off all the loose ends with some corny happily-ever-after finale. It felt fitting, and I respect their decision to stop the show while it was still good.
>>
God this finale has me depressed. It's never going to get better, it's it?
>>
>>63730669
I like that it ended how it started, both losers just stuck with each other. Sad that Mark didn't get April though.
>>
>>63733007
At least he fucked her one last time.
>I am James Bond
>>
>>63732550
Oh, that's nicer
>>
>40 and unmarried living with your m8 in a flat
>solidifying the fact that you'll never EVER find love and happiness outside of your resentful friendship in one evening.

Damn, this show hurts.
>>
Sad, I was positive that mark would end up with someone or at least a hint of there being someone.

I predicted the shoe shop girl returning ages ago as she was the only girl mark clicked with, apart from doby. When she showed up I was sure mark would get her. Surprised he didn't desu.

Still an okay episode, didn't make me laugh very much though. Definitely one of the weaker final episodes.

Goodbye Peep Show. It was a great ride.

I think this episode aimed to be more depressingly realistic instead of funny and happy, 2 40 year old men living together in a tiny 2 bedroom flat with no jobs, no love and no future, it never gets better only worse
>>
>>63733975
And both of them having no future or prospects beyond the eventual murder suicide from Mark

I knew it would all go downhill when I saw that Jeff was in the episode, though it was funny seeing him fuck over Mark one last time

Women have enacted legislation that keeps men out of education and employment. Women culturally will not date men who are of lower economic status than they are.

So you make laws that keep men from having education and careers, and you wend up with men who are eternal manchildren who live with their roommates well into middle age.

And the politicians solution to the void created by feminism is to import masses of Muslims to replace the families who are not being created due to women's liberation.

Feminism is the guaranteed destruction of a civilization. Brits need to start getting ready for Sharia.
>>
>>63730929
I didn't watch it.
I watched the first episode of season 9 and I didn't feel like watching any more.
I'll always have seasons one to four and a handful of comparable episodes from after. That's fine with me.
>>
Best ending really, one I expected and hoped for. If you know the show they certainly weren't going to both leave the flat behind and move up in the world in a sombre but uplifting ending like Friends or some gay shit like that.
>>
>>63734777
>Women have enacted legislation that keeps men out of education and employment.
legislation like what?

know how bad the men of lower class have it, and will have it, due to their traditional jobs being lost. but that can't possibly be pinned on feminism, unless they are controlling the companies that are doing that simply for higher profits.
>>
>>63735222
We'll in England you can't blame feminism but you can blame a woman, Maggie Thatcher closing the mines and creating a lower class dependent on welfare because they literally had no other alternative and not enough jobs created to replace the ones lost in heavy industries leads to generations of family's dependant on it, still doesn't explain Mark and Jez though they both come from upper middle class families
>>
>>63735352
Not the guy who said about legislature btw
>>
>>63735352
>Maggie Thatcher closing the mines

When will this fucking meme end? Harold Wilson closed more mines than Thatcher did, and it was because they were no longer profitable thanks to growing international competition. Thatcher had nothing to do with it, she just turned off the state life support and pulled the plug because she was RIGHTLY unwilling to subsidise a failing industry and transfer its debts onto the government balance sheets.
>>
>>63735448
And offer no replacement for the masses that went out of work as a result, it was Thatchers government that closed them
>>
>>63735627

They never caused the decline though. Blaming Thatcher is literal mongoloid tier reasoning.
>>
>>63735627

it was Labour that closed them too you stupid fuck
>>
>>63730669

It should have ended with them both going to prison. Was the show supposed to end with Marks wedding because I always felt like they were just plodding along after that

Just watched it, it was a decent episode, and a fine one to top it off, though I feel that what they did deserved more of a comeuppance I can easily imagine them being let off too.
I think this series has been back on form, I thought it was better than series 6-8 to be honest and that they were expending all their best jokes for this final series.

I hope it continues in one way or another, in its own way it's a kind of quiet protest on behalf of those suffering from loneliness and ennui in general, particularly men.

But I don't want to gender the show in that regard, I just can't help reading into it like that.

No you're right, I really doubt many women will get this show.

I'm also about as sad as Mark only with American racial bonuses. In that I'm able to bullshit people into believing I'm a happy normal person instead of stuttering or spilling british spaghetti.

The drawback to this is I get invited to normal shit I can't always avoid to maintain cover. Went to a neighbor's cookout recently, and got invited by more neighbors for a Christmas get together. Which is all well and good unless you don't give much of a shit about them and would rather be watching shows and playing dumb videogames.

Mark just wanting to eat meals and watch shows and hang out with Dobby was painful, anons. I have yet to find a woman as easy to please as I am as far as a pleasant evening goes.

No one believes your normal they just avoid the social embarrassment of actually pointing it out to you and having to deal with your sperging out

That's good enough for me, anon. That's good enough for me.

Terrible, like the rest of series 9. In this series there was none of the realism that made early Peep Show so unpleasantly relatable and funny, it's just the wacky antics of cartoon characters. All the one liners felt forced, old characters were needlessly shoehorned in, everything was over the top and ridiculous.

Oh well, it was good up until series 7, and watchable until series 8, that's better than most shows. I'll just skip the last series in my annual rewatches.

I think Peep Show is kind of like a similar thing to the 90s Simpsons, capturing the zeitgeist of the time in the country perfectly. I don't think a show has perfectly captured modern british life like peep show has.

I could see Angus forgiving Mark, maybe with a Bible quote, then agreeing they should never see each other again. Cruise went as planned.

Completely explained by mark in that Jeremy has betrayed or fucked over pretty much everyone he knows and nobody likes him.
