"Superb"

Mark and Jez are a perfect comic duo, and anyone who's ever had a roommate knows how hard it is to get along and be friends, especially after many years or being together. Moreso, the ideas of attending a high school reunion and misunderstanding a job description can be nightmares that most of us can relate too. I love how the show takes them to extremes.

I hate the fact that this show is too graphic to be on BBC America. It's a great example of British sitcom genius. I wish there were more shows like it here. Fortunately, you can find the new episodes online.moreless

Seriously, this episode was one of the best Peep Show episodes I've ever seen. Season four has been absolutely fantastic in terms of quality writing - every episode is packed with those kind of moments which shouldn't be funny but are, such as:

Mark: "What am I doing? This isn't me! I can't have an affair. I'm not French. I'm the least French person on the planet. My favourite cheeses are Cheddar and Red Leicester."

As Jez meets one of his heroes, he finds out that being a handyman does actually entail, this time, giving somebody an actual hand... well, you get it. I've never laughed more than when I was watching this episode. I can't wait for the next! Peep show deserves to go on for a long, long time.moreless

- Nancy: What's going on? Who's wanking who off? Super Hans: Jeremy's been wanking off this bloke for cash. Jeremy: No I haven't! It's not... Nancy: Jeremy, that is so you. I always knew you'd end up doing something like that. Edit
- Super Hans: Why didn't you tell me about the wanking-off bit? Jeremy: Sorry, I didn't think. Super Hans: Well you should've bloody thought. Jesus! Jeremy: Did you do it? Super Hans: 'Course I did. How do you think I got these trainers? Edit
- Mark; What a dud evening. Low quality take-away. Low quality detective drama. Low quality sexual intercourse. Edit
