Fools!

'DURP! Look at me! Gaffer taping some remote controls together to make one big remote control is funny!'

Honestly, that is the sort of thing they do on Friends.

English people have no sense of humour.

Yeah, but the way they did it was funny. If they'd have just pointed to the taped together remote controls and smiled goofily at the camera to get a laugh, it would have been stupid. You try too hard to not have a good time in life so you can moan about it on here. One of these days I'm going to jog all the way to Scotland and literally dump tackle you in an ironic twist of fate.

They're all funny in a...pity sort of way. "Aw, look what Scotch Iain said. Did you think he went to school? - Awww."

But you're about 5' 5" and eight stone, you couldn't dump tackle me.

It's still a stupid concept and one that shows that the writers are scraping the barrel for ideas now ('LOLZ! They called it Megatron!'). Part of the brilliance of Peep Show in the first two series was that it made you cringe. It doesn't any more. I sort of suspect that Mitchell and Webb are beginning to contribute more to the show in terms of writing, which is a dangerous situation given how poor they've proven themselves to be as writers in the past.

Series four had, maybe, two good episodes. I expect the same from season five and I'll probably keep watching it. It's just a shame that it's no longer funny...

ERGH! How was it not cringing?!

You're like some bloody little lad from the 18th century that says things like: "Oooh Mother, do take me down to the market to see the strong man and laugh at the commoners". Just find funny things funny and stop causing disequilibrium around hyarr.

Did you ever see Mitchell and Webb live?

If it weren't pissing down that night in Glasgow, I'd have left at the interval. They just can't write for shit. OK, they probably contributed one of two ideas in the first couple of seasons, but the newer episodes lack the cringe-worthiness of for example Mark being confronted with black-specific gay porn in front of Johnson, or Sophie finding the engagement ring.

I don't see why I'm bothering to be honest; most of you like The Office.
