Like anyone cares

Tried several times but never got past this episode. Thought it was because there was always something about Robert Webb I didn't like....or was it bad talking Peter Gabriel. Warmed to Robert Webb recently so gonna stick with it this time

Joe Wright

Season 2 - 6 are as good as any comedy series ever. The only thing that comes close to the Office UK imo.

Chevy

min 16

Alan Broadbent

Reason for audio being dubbed later is cos bowling alley is real and would have been too much noise intererence

Nathan Wilson

Sixth form means she’s maximum 18 😳

Neil Tolerton

U guys do realise that Noel, guy singing is just half the band lol. Brother Liam is just pure rock n roll. Check out slide away or acquiesce

Ian Warren

Also, the fact you find it so creepy and uncomfortable and cringy yet are laughing so hard at that... is exactly what UK comedy is all about.

Ian Warren

Not only would I not go through another persons medicine cabinet, I would also go to the trouble of clearing my medicine cabinet before inviting anyone to a party at my house. Erm.... there's nothing wrong with me. Stop asking questions. Stop wondering! Go away!

Dave Henshall

Never seen it before but I’m not quite getting this show yet. Yes, subjective etc but I assume it gets better?

Mark Jones

One thing I always feel when watching people react to Peep Show is the 90's in the UK was utterly despicable, recreational drug use was through the roof and sexual promiscuity was off the charts, it was a wonderful decade! 😁 And I always feel this show was a product of that debauched rave generation, so people like me who lived though it doesn't even flinch at any Peep Show scenario, but I get why others find it so awkward, I won't ruin it with any spoilers... but can't wait to see you deal with the next episode!!!! 🤣

Kieran B

Mark went out and ended up out out

J

Well, no. The biggest issue with ANY reaction content is the few people who don't enjoy the subject matter yet can't resist regurgitating the same tired, subjectivity-blind diatribe, rather than simply skipping the content they don't appreciate. Have a little grow up, mate. From someone who's neither a Peep Show nor an Inbetweeners fan, yet somehow manages to steer clear of spouting off in the comments about the people who are.

Dandelion

Next ep is legendary

Grown Up North

So the biggest issue with Peep Show is its fans have to defend it continuously.

Super Hans

should be said that rest of this season is a bit ropey. including this episode. writing very uneven i think.

Gregor Bajc

so in usa you cant buy individual cans of beer ? lol

Vee

I cant believe how much these guys will love peep show.

Paul

Weeeeeeeeeeeird 💯% never fancied it then and defo not now…. Fair play tho humour is subjective, Different strokes for different folks….. enjoy 👍

afrochuck

It gets better. Trust.

Julian

He’s hiding in plain sight, like me. Yours sincerely, David Bowie

Tonia Laws

Why has no-one realised who Dandelion is in this thread is yet?? He was there last week and I'm STILL the only one who recognises Johnson when I see him!

Ryan Totney

Same guy who created Succession btw 😂

Ash C

One of the things that makes Peep Show so great is the cringe, hopelessness of the protagonists and the private hidden thoughts but looking back these first three episodes over indulged a bit but I reckon from the next episode onwards things start to balance a lot more and the plot and character arcs, particularly Mark and Jez’s friendship (if you can call that haha) develop. Can’t wait for the next episode though. Bring on the Johnson! 😂

A bunch of people have probably already said, but yeah the first season is a little crusty. They still haven't figured out the best way to do the POV stuff and there are a lot of jokes that just don't land as they haven't quite nailed the humor yet either. There are also lots of weird experimental stuff (like Mark's flashback to asking Sophie out, that awful shot of Mark opening the medicine cabinet etc.) that are not present in the rest of the series. I think you will enjoy S2 much more, the entire first season feels like a pilot episode by comparison (or an amateur film student project).

CONALL MCLAUGHLIN

Good luck with the next episode 😂

Julian

It’s not that many though. Wouldn’t want them thinking it’s constant sex scenes 😎

Kayleigh

Oh you have WAY more uncomfortable sexual scenes to look forward to lol.

Kayleigh

“This is the sort of thing people do when they’re having a good time” is something that went through my head as a teenager a lot lmao “this is what normal teenagers do, right?”

Daniel Coughlin

not everyone likes it.

Right Said Brett

Jess is as sharp as a tack. Mike is... well, Mike.

Right Said Brett

I never noticed that and I've watched this show countless times! Great spot!

Right Said Brett

There's a few mirror shots throughout series 1 (there was one in the first episode, for example) and they are badly composited. The show becomes much more refined as it continues across multiple series.

Right Said Brett

It's so interesting watching these reactions and seeing that the show hasn't quite clicked for you both, yet knowing that you'll both adore the show by the time it comes to an end.

Mark Rudd

6th form college is what the inbetweeners were at during the show 😆

Emily

I was just as uncomfortable watching those scenes, but watching Mike and Jess squirm was the only thing that got me through! 😅

Jamie Derry

Omg Somerfield

Athan Immortal

23:03 Jess got it right, Jeff gave the impression he'd taken Sophie out for "Italian" and you think Italian restaurant, expensive, but all he'd done was take her to Pizza Hut :D

Julian

The scene with the medicine cabinet is weird. I was trying to figure out how they filmed the mirror shot. They’ve basically edited an image into the mirror, but the reflection is the wrong size, then when he opens the door the reflection is still there when it’s not facing him lol

Karlos

From your comments about watching The Office, it made me think, Peep Show is like a cross between The Office and The Inbetweeners. In that it's really funny, but some moments are so cringe.

Adam

Anyone who doesn’t like the next episode is a badger baiting homophobe

Karlos

Totally agree. Season 1 is funny, but raw. It definitely gets better.

Karlos

Your guess about what 'on the pull' means was exactly right. Picking up girls.

Karlos

from what? from what? We're on the edges of our seats here!

Megatron

Valerie is way hotter than Sophie 😉

Paul John Jeffs

Lol, at 30:57 when Jess says "that left the worst taste in my mouth" the onscreen "subscribe" graphic splashes out a little green thing that goes right in her mouth haha.

steven bell

Joe Michel

season 1 is definitely rough but it gets alot better

Darren Geoghegan

And what.....

Julian

I found a bit of trivia. The song which becomes the theme tune from season 2 onwards is playing in the background in the bowling alley.

Charlie

As in…Jeff?!

SimonNZ

After watching forward you have my permission to skip the next one

James Waters

Oh no, I must mentally prepare for the second hand cringe in regard to the teenager angle. Also, I don't get why people are dunking on the next episode, its the best of the season

Barok

Follow the fingers, follow the fingers.

Julian

Mark will be really annoyed when he wakes up the next morning and realises he needs to go grocery shopping AGAIN. Plus the store will be busier on a Saturday.

SimonNZ

Nice haircut Jess

Dan G, Leicester

In the first series the POV shots were filmed with the actors wearing helmet-mounted cameras. So for example, in Mark and Valerie's sex scene, they will have filmed it once with David Mitchell wearing a helmet, then again with the actress playing Valerie wearing a helmet. Just in case what you already witnessed in the show wasn't a weird enough mental image 😂

Chorlton Outlaw

Probably the worst episode in the series tbf

Tim

This first season is definitely interesting to go back to - while it does set the groundwork for the show, the filming style and some of the character stuff doesn't 100% line-up with the rest of the seasons.

Anthony Skelton

Spot on Mike. 😂

Tro Janors

You've experienced the first, "JEFF!?!". There's many more where that came from 🤣

Erica

I know what you mean but even that isn’t as bad as the teenager imo

Josh Read

As he went bowling with the groceries im guessing they didn't get home safely. Great reaction as always

Michael

Jess really keeps Mike on track doesn't she 😂 yes he took her to pizza hut before the bowling alley

Dandelion

It’s tough but worth seeing them cringe 😈

Christian Rolfe

God it's a gem and it gets so much better, really enjoying it again.

Erica

Thanks Mike and Jess I am not having the best morning of my life mentally and this will help 🫶🏼. Oh no it’s not the Mark sleeps with the teenager episode is it I can’t cope with that I’ll have to fast forward that bit 🫣🤣. I can watch every single other thing in this show but I can’t watch that 🤣

Adam

Haven't watched this first season in years. It's so weird, everything feels off - script, humour, characters, tone. Great reaction as always though 👍🏼
