Mark's war analogies are one of the best things about that show. Like:

Sophie's the one. Toni's Russia. Vast, mysterious, unconquerable. Sophie's Poland. Manageable, won't put up too much of a fight.

What I really love is how David Mitchell references military history in David Mitchell's Soapbox, too.

[–]H-Resin 25 points26 points ago

"I want the Rheinland! Fuck the inevitable backlash! Calm down, Mark, you're not Hitler in his bunker. Although he did at least have a woman..."

"Those kids have no clue of what had happened in Stalingrad"

[–]Naphine 7 points8 points ago

"Of course I can in no way compare my struggle reading it to that of the Red Army, it has been a pretty tough read."

[–]lolbat 9 points10 points ago

Do a Columbo.

"we've got to push on. push on to moscow"

[–]neayaa 1 point2 points ago

He studied history in college.

[–]TheExecutor 28 points29 points ago

He studied read history in college at university.

[–]neayaa -4 points-3 points ago

Ok, looked it up on Wikipedia:

In 1993 he went up to Peterhouse, Cambridge where he read history.

Peterhouse is a constituent college of the University of Cambridge, England

So I'm at least somewhat right, I think. And why 'read'? (Non-native speaker BTW)

[–]ucbiker 7 points8 points ago

I think he's just referring to the way you would say it in England. Americans "go to college", even if it's at a university. Australians and the English "go to university".

[–]samsari 3 points4 points ago

Actually, it's not just England - the whole of Britain "goes to university".

[–]deadeight 6 points7 points ago

Yeah but only the English have to pay.

[–]samsari 1 point2 points ago

What does that have to do with this? Am I missing something?

[–]deadeight 1 point2 points ago

I am bitter! That's what!

At least I'm on the 3k fees not the 9k though.

[–]Cheesusaur 1 point2 points ago

The welsh have to pay too, but at a reduced rate.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

No we have colleges too, but they're usually for "part time" courses where you only go in a few days a week. Uni is more full on and usually involves travelling to another part of the country for the best course available.

[–]samsari 0 points1 point ago

I know, I went to one too. But the fact that we have colleges is separate to the fact that what America calls college is called university in Britain. And also entirely separate to the fact that England != Britain, which was the point of the comment you replied to.

[–]Tabtykins 3 points4 points ago

Its a university here, but some universities (Oxbridge/Durham) split their schools into colleges or houses which are basically residential halls with a bit extra. Some universities have colleges which pretty much govern themselves and award their own degrees (university of London).

So yeah, colleges here can be where you study your A-levels (high school for you I think) or can be a word for a house or residential hall in a university.

[–]lauralikescake 0 points1 point ago

I didn't go to Oxbridge but I think their colleges are fully fledged ACs in their own right, not just residential...each college has its own application process, rather than just applying to Oxford or Cambridge, I think.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Well, I go to Durham and I had to apply to Durham itself and then apply to a college on top of that. I believe the process is the same for Oxbridge. I have a friend who did his undergrad at Oxford and he refers to himself as having been a student at Oxford, but a member of whatever the hell college he was in (I clearly don't pay much attention).

[–]justicia311 -2 points-1 points ago

Read is just an old fashioned term. It's usually only Oxbridge students that use the term, and even then only when they're being formal/pretentious.

[–]Moosey_Doom 133 points134 points ago

Is it just me or is this like the best fucking show ever?

[–]NapoleonBonerparts 20 points21 points ago

I watched this scene a few days ago... I even commented about how I haven't seen this line on reddit in a long time to a friend. Hopefully this will get other Americans into Peep Show(on netflix instant, btw)

[–]Shadax 10 points11 points ago

Good guy comment poster actually says the name of the show.

[–]scrambles57 11 points12 points ago

That and IT Crowd.

[–]almightysumner 6 points7 points ago

HELL YES

[–]vteckickedin 7 points8 points ago

Good morning, that's a nice tnetennba.

[–]blinky98 13 points14 points ago

Did you see that ludicrous display last night?

[–]Macca77 6 points7 points ago

What was Wenger thinking sending Walcott on that early?

[–]Moinseur_Garnier 6 points7 points ago

The thing about Arsenal is, they always try and 'walk it in'

[–]soilednapkin 2 points3 points ago

[–]Bizarre-Non-Sequitur 1 point2 points ago

Arsenal gear housed over 200 Ray models for self defence and assault missions.

[–]DanTheBib -4 points-3 points ago

What was Wenger thinking, sending Walcott on that early?

[–]dudeface_man 2 points3 points ago

IT Crowd is different though, all they have in common really is that they come from Britain.

[–]scrambles57 0 points1 point ago

Did I say they were the same? I only said they are the best shows ever. They both just happen to be British.

[–]dudeface_man 0 points1 point ago

You must have been making some comparison since this is about Peep Show.

Peep Show is a higher caliber show than The IT Crowd.

It's like Arrested Development compared to Two and a Half Men

[–]scrambles57 0 points1 point ago

Did you read the comment I replied to then mine? In no way was I comparing. I'm saying the best shows are Peep Show and IT Crowd.

[–]HiFiGyri 1 point2 points ago

That's the first episode. A good place to start.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Indeed it is. I almost get a hard on thinking how close we are to a new series after waiting for nearly 2 years.

[–]Fluroblue 1 point2 points ago

what is it?? looks hilarious!

[–]upvoteCity 1 point2 points ago

Peep show. A British comedy on Channel 4 (in the UK).

It is very very hilarious. Every line is like gold.

[–]Chocrates 48 points49 points ago

Can't wait for the next Peep Show season!

[–]J4Seriously 24 points25 points ago

Theres gonna be another one? Fuck yeah.

[–]maskapony 10 points11 points ago

They're filming right now.

[–]BreSput 10 points11 points ago

I think they're locked in for two more actually, they just have to get around to doing them.

[–]belzebud 2 points3 points ago

[–]H-Resin 0 points1 point ago

YESSSSSSS!

[–]stewartseneca 22 points23 points ago

I love the skit on the Mitchell and Webb experience where they play SS officers

[–]stewartseneca 3 points4 points ago

On the money

[–]MollySmithMS 1 point2 points ago

Are we the bad guys?

[–]IveGotCarpet 1 point2 points ago

A rats anus?

[–]mean_burrito 10 points11 points ago

Ahhh Peep Show! Fucking Super Hans, man...

[–]H-Resin 5 points6 points ago

Drugs? DRUGS?!

[–]Moinseur_Garnier 4 points5 points ago

I'll suck for crack.

Ahh not crack Super Hans! Crack's your favorite!

[–]doctorwhore 8 points9 points ago

I've been watching old eps of WILTY. David Mitchell is goddamn hilarious.

[–]kabukistar 6 points7 points ago

David Mitchell was always my favourite on QI.

[–]Kaninbil 7 points8 points ago

THATS NUMBER WANG!

[–]alucidreality 0 points1 point ago

Now let's flip the board!

[–]ChocoboExodus 8 points9 points ago

Apparently I'm in the Reddit minority but can someone please tell me what show this is?

[–]atomicxblade 26 points27 points ago

Peep show

[–]thescrapplekid 19 points20 points ago

Peep Show.... I had to add to the rest of them, Ok since I'm the 5th person to say the same thing I might as well add something useful. Its called this because its seen from a first person point of view by both stars of the show. Also check The Mitchell and Webb Look. Both are on Netflix I believe

[–]Johopo 2 points3 points ago

They're also on Hulu for free!

[–]HDzFlash 4 points5 points ago

Peep Show

[–]robot-b 7 points8 points ago

I enjoyed it but had to give upon it, it is so cringe-worthy sometimes because they make you feel so awkward...

[–]banzai33 4 points5 points ago

You've been downvoted for presenting a valid negative opinion on something you aren't allowed to dislike. You should have the same opinions as other people, silly.

[–]robot-b 2 points3 points ago

i know, i will take this as a warning and be much more careful next time. We really can't stomach dissenters in this day and age, we have to be united against the terrorists

[–]DrascaL 1 point2 points ago

I never got that from Peep Show at all.

I find the characters relatable, yet the plot so ridiculous. It's great!

[–]mean_burrito 2 points3 points ago

Peep Show

[–]Pantstown 34 points35 points ago

Such an underrated show.

[–]ALittlesEnough 3 points4 points ago

Hmm wouldnt it be great if you mentioned the name....

[–][deleted] 10 points11 points ago

Peep Show

[–]itachiowns 1 point2 points ago

I know im glad there are others that enjoy it because i love it!

[–]SirSandGoblin 1 point2 points ago

i dunno that it is underrated its one of the biggest most popular shows in the uk

[–]Pantstown 1 point2 points ago

That may very well be a fact, but in the US it's practically unheard of.

[–]SirSandGoblin 0 points1 point ago

so perhaps not underrated so much as not from the us

[–]loercase 24 points25 points ago

You promised not to repost this every month!

[–]InspectorBloor 81 points82 points ago

Hitler promised not to invade Czechoslovakia, loercase. Welcome to the real world.

[–]HurriKaneJG 10 points11 points ago

Is that the guy who plays Sir Digby Chicken Caesar? Wait, are they both in it? I can't believe I never realized this.

[–]Iseesummers 0 points1 point ago

Same guys, different format of show.

[–]DerHelm 8 points9 points ago

That whole show is nothing but pure comical entertainment. I had to stop watching at work as I would laugh out of now where then have to cover it up by coughing.

[–]mean_burrito 5 points6 points ago

[–]ohmysquirrels 1 point2 points ago

Literally hitler.

[–]thescrapplekid 3 points4 points ago

I love Peep Show. Also its great when I try to tell people about it they think I'm talking about porn... Then again When I first saw it pop up on BBC America I was surprised it was a comedy

[–]H-Resin 1 point2 points ago

Yeah I ignored it for the longest time simply based on the name. Then I started watching it and I've watched it all the way through like 3 times now. I'm going through withdrawal.

[–]thescrapplekid 0 points1 point ago

Check out The Mitchell & Webb Look. Its on Netflix. My favorite skit is The Surprising Adventures of Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

[–]H-Resin 1 point2 points ago

I'm quite familiar

[–]thescrapplekid 0 points1 point ago

Good

[–]anotherthrowaway4259 1 point2 points ago

Everytime this is reposted I make sure to save it because it is hilarious

[–]theycallmebrodie 3 points4 points ago

Hey, I'm going to be that loser who has to ask. What show is this from? I've seen screenshots of it all over Reddit and it seems hilarious.

[–]atomicxblade 4 points5 points ago

Peep show

[–]cosmicabacus 2 points3 points ago

now i say brilliant all the time.

[–]juuleeah 1 point2 points ago

This post needs more Super Hans!!

[–]Dared00 2 points3 points ago

I think I'm gay for David Mitchell.

[–]MollySmithMS 0 points1 point ago

Peep show is so funny.

[–]ilikecaramelapplepop 1 point2 points ago

What is this?

[–]RhymesandRakes 1 point2 points ago

Either Peep Show or That Mitchell and Webb Look. Both are on Netflix and are worth checking out! Sorry I can't remember which it is specifically.

[–]pdoc234 1 point2 points ago

Peep show

[–]melesion 0 points1 point ago

This thing hit the front page every time, it is gold, do like me and OP, keep it and repost it for sweet sweet karma !

[–]Nebakanezzer 0 points1 point ago

you have multiple things on the front page son, and a myriad of posts with no karma. you need to give it a rest for like...10 minutes or so, seriously. give the other kids a chance with the ball.

[–]missespanda 0 points1 point ago

Love this fucking show!

[–]khoulle 0 points1 point ago

dem camera angles

[–]beenman500 1 point2 points ago

if you haven't seen the show, the idea is all the shots are done from someones point of veiw

[–]MollySmithMS 0 points1 point ago

Which gives it the name "Peep show"

[–]MusicalSoul -1 points0 points ago

damn those guys are goofy looking. british i assume?.

[–]beenman500 0 points1 point ago

yup. Go watch "peep show" it is very enjoyable

[–]7hyobnogard 0 points1 point ago

Yeah its a hilarious English comedy about these two guys Mark (the fat one) and Jeremy (or as he's called 'Jex') I seriously suggest you Netflix it or something. Great example of English humour!

[–]H-Resin 0 points1 point ago

Jez*

[–]Yellow_Ledbetter 1 point2 points ago

Jez: "But you said... what about your mum's life!?"

Mark: "What does that even mean? What are you going to do, kill her!?"

Fucking love Peep Show.

[–]MollySmithMS 0 points1 point ago

Haven't seen this in the previous comments but great news for peep show fans. A new series is coming out in the UK very shortly!

[–]pinkpastry 0 points1 point ago

[–]bucky420 0 points1 point ago

not sure what this is, but know it's british from the heater

[–]tatskaari 0 points1 point ago

Peep show is brilliant! Recently Voted the UK's second best comedy show, after Father Ted.
