Greg’s nervous, uncomprehending look whenever someone makes a cultural reference never seems to get old. “Cock-a-doodle-doo!”
As an accurate representation of British lads abroad, the pool chap’s announcement that he’s “got sensitive nips” is unparalleled in U.S. arts and media.
So, we finished rewatching the whole run of Peep Show last night. Those hoping for a climactic finale will be sorely disappointed, but I found it fitting; it would have been weirdly saccharine—perhaps even disingenuous—to break the El Dude Brothers’ destructive cycle of pettiness and cruelty with a comforting send-off. The final series wasn’t my favourite, but it still has some great moments.
Now I feel like I want more Mitchell and Webb. When’s the next series of Back?
