Just watched the first episode finally. Shit is fucking hilarious.

Its not really cringe humor in the american way where you want to kill yourself because of the embarrassment/get pissed off at the characters because of how dumb they are.
Its just sarcastic comedy towards daily shit made x20 worse from what Ive seen.

I started watching this as 25, watching the last episode at 35 really brought the feels as you kids call it.

I couldn't believe it, 10 years this show was with me, through thick and thin, my favourite show ever and it's gone, like dust in the wind ;_;

I have of late - but wherefore I know not - lost all my mirth, forgone all custom of exercises; and indeed it goes so heavily with my disposition that this goodly frame, the earth, seems to me a sterile promontory; this most excellent canopy, the air, look you, this brave o'erhanging firmament, this majestical roof fretted with golden fire, why, it appears no other thing to me than a foul and pestilential congregation of vapours. What a piece of work is a man! how noble in reason! how infinite in faculty! in form and moving how express and admirable! in action how like an angel! in apprehension how like a god! the beauty of the world! the paragon of animals! And yet to me, what is this quintessence of dust? man delights not me: no, nor woman neither.

Good writing 2bh. There's no reason why it shouldn't be funny, you don't have to make the central characters cool or likeable and full of normie garbage like Friends that's full of sentimentality and relationship drama. Sadly that where the big bucks is because most people are plebs like this guy >>69853516 that would find something like PS unpleasant and uncomfortable to watch instead of having a sense of humor about the realities of life and human nature.

Daily reminder that more than half of British comedy is a MI5 psyop which includes Peep Show, Little Britain, Ricky Gervais, all the panel shows and much more.

It is not for entertainment. It's the weaponization of atheistic gurning irony to sap the moral courage of the Brit and make them fear ridicule lest they lift their eyes beyond the space just in front of their feet to see their ethnic replacement.

Most of it is made by one satanic oxbridge cabal that all know each other and they are all jewish lapdogs. They are guns for hire, hitmen of the soul.

Their sketch comedy show is pretty good.

Peep Show is a badly written, poorly portrayed story about two really awful people.

It's like It's Always Sunny if it was written after multiple concussions.
>>
>>69859874
Their sketch comedy is mostly shit jokes or reused jokes you no taste cretin.
>>
>>69853516

Britfag here and I agree. Peep Show is just fucking painful to watch and not in a good way. The Office was also cringe / painful to watch, but at least in that, David Brent is clearly someone you laugh at. You don't sympathise with him. He's not you. He's your stupid boss, or your stupid teacher, or whatever. Whereas the appeal of Peep Show is meant to be "yes, I relate to these insecurities, I am also just as pathetic and sad as these characters".

I can't see why anyone would find such an experience entertaining? Unless they are a masochist?
>>
>>69853068
It isn't funny.
>>
>>69860191
You don't have to relate to the god damn main characters to be able to enjoy a show.
Mark and Jeremy are both horrible cretins whose insecurities and shenanigans are funny, and only occasionally perhaps a tiny bit relatable.

>>69860191
I think it makes people feel better because they realize that they're not the only people thinking about that stuff or doing awkward shit.

You reminded me of something. Sorry to reference casual anime, but it's relevant: in One Piece, there's a person whose power is to make her opponent cripplingly, paralysingly depressed. Anyway, she hits the crew's loser with nightmare vision and, indeed, everything is exactly the same. That's pretty much how MDMA comedown is for someone with depression. There is no downside. So yeah, there's an fyi depressedfags.

It's weird because Mitchell acts like Mark whenever I see him interviewed, so they either did the perfect casting, or he has a say in the writing
