LTTP: Peep Show - The dream is over, I am detritus

[Little Old Man]

Chance would be a fine thing!

A fine thing indeed!

I work with someone who casually mentioned that he was in an early episode of Peep Show. I thought he was bullshitting, but there's a scene where they're talking in front of the TV, and he is on the TV as a reporter. His dialogue isn't audible but he's there. I was impressed.

After seeing the whole thing dozens of times, I'm now re-viewing on Japanese Netflix and the translator forgot to add humour to their subtitles. I forget the exact words but "Tight fisted cock muncher" became something like "I don't like you". Try harder mr translator.

"I'm definitely going to agree to this. I just need to put up an acceptable level of objection 'so I can be all reproachful if it proves to be a disaster, which it almost certainly will."

Super Hans remains the best thing ever to come out of British TV.

One of my favourite jokes is what was going on in Super Hans' party:

i wonder if anyone has ever been this unhappy while drinking champagne

The show is great OP and you have some awesome episodes to come - it remains strong after the dog bit - I think that scene is overrated. The wedding episode is the peak, but 5 & 6 are great too: the one with the pregnancy and Jez dating the neighbours is solid gold. The one where they got locked in someone else' flat is great too.

It mostly maintains quality throughout, but it has some rushed final episodes, I hated how they handled Dobby, and the last couple of series lose it, culminating in a meh final ep.

 

[CircusOfValues]

I know that weird run...

 

[Scarface]

One of my all time favorites. I give the full series a watch every year.

Watching this right now. GOAT.

Finally started S2 after a decent hiatus, and I just gotta say that I've known plenty of people like Daryl, to the point that I know talking about WWII and HoI4 with some people will get a different conversation than what I wanted.

It gets better believe it or not.

PLEASE DONT TOUCH MY FLOPPY COCK!

I loved this show when I watched it years ago, but I don't think I ever watched the final couple of seasons. Didn't realize it was on Hulu. I may have to watch it from beginning to end.

TERFing would be terrible but it seems more like Webb is calling out Mermaids (a trans charity who has gotten grants from the British government and prepared educational materials for its school teachers) for making spurious scientific claims and, Webb feels, fast-tracking children who don't want to conform to traditional gender roles into the heavy interventions of medication and surgery. Mermaids got in trouble for this and now the College of GPs and Tavistock (the NHS gender service) are distancing themselves from them, GIDS (the NHS' "Gender Identity Service") dropped Mermaids from their recommended resources, and the Big Lottery Fund is reconsidering its grant.

Webb is basing his concern off the work of journalist Janice Turner, who could well be wrong. I don't know what she found in Mermaids' materials that was so objectionable/false. But if she is refuted I imagine he'd take a different stance, as he holds no truck for traditional notions of "manliness" and gender roles, as someone who is in fact currently on tour for a book he wrote about how much those ideas suck and had a terrible impact on him, and how all masculinity is toxic, called How Not to Be a Boy. Here is is talking about it:
