Man this is my favorite scene in the whole series, one of the few ones when they're both so likeable. Love the wink jez gives, reminds me that they're friends. Overall it's just the perfect scene for me.
I like how Jez calls paying Mark to read and analyse Wuthering Heights a "grubby deal", but it's not grubby to sell himself and his future children into dishwashing-based slavery.
And that he had an easier time getting to grips with Johnson paying to shag Big Suze than he did Mark asking to be paid to read for him. I don't know where Jez draws the line, but it sure as hell isn't straight.
he tried to rent big suze' to Jhonson and was legitimatly upset that sophie's brother sucked off hanz instead of him, WTF do you expect? he's not evil, but he is "a selfish, moral blank, whose lazy cynicism and sneering, ironic take on the world encapsulates everything wrong with a generation."

I had wuthering heights as one of my A Level texts a couple of years ago, part of the course is judged on your ability to refer to contemporary criticisms of the book in your exam. Of course no one uses real quotes so I took great pride in incorporating the use of 'wuthering heights is so obviously an exploration of wild, elemental forces.' (B. Benjamin 1987), in one of my points. Didn't do so well in that exam but that was probably more down to the previous two years, and my classmates' unwillingness to participate in a grubby deal of our own.
This is such a perfect 'set piece', manages to include Mark, Dobby, Jez, and Hans and they're all performing at their best. One of the best moments in the show for me, up there with the wedding.
Mark has several lines in quick succession which killed me from laughter when I first saw them: "My.... legs..." "I'm not staying up all night reading Wuthering Heights" "I am not a prostitute. Now please get out of my bed" 😁
@@lmn6440 this is so true, and it shows how constantly catastrophizing and looking for the worst in a situation will cost you everything. Regardless of the hand you’ve been dealt, it’s much better to get up, dust up, and carry on because you’re British for God’s sake.
Finally a rare opportunity for the nerd to show Alpha confidence. Also Jez's laugh at the end sounded so much like the Merchant's from Resident Evil 4.

@@ghostdukevladamir5101 Yes, although there's no conclusion. We don't know where it ended up, nor whether Hans went ahead with his plan to use it to scare someone.

This was the first peep show clip I watched a few years back and I assumed this was what Mark was like for the whole series. Binge watching it now how very wrong I am
I have had debates on if Wuthering Heights is a love story or not. I said to my friend, can we call it a really good, well written toxic relationship story? Lol
It is interesting. Obsessive destructive love ruining two generations of lives but real love blossoms at the very end with the only remaining innocent members
By far one of my favourite Mark moments where 'Alpha Mark' very momentarily emerges. Love those moments when the lads actually stuck up for each other.
Does anyone agree with Waxing Wampeter than Elena & Zahra have personality similarities? I don't see it, although they have the same role of cheating on their partner with Jez.
@Waxing Wampeter It's clearly a very basic poem, as is her reaction to it. In any case, liking poetry (or claiming to) doesn't indicate intelligence or being well-educated. You said that their similarities are commonly mentioned. Having similarities & being similar aren't significantly different to say that I've misrepresented you. I only mentioned you because you're the only person I've ever known to compare them & I'm interested to see if any other viewers think they have much in common.
@Waxing Wampeter I don't think Elena was pretending to be cultured after listening to Jez's Bush poem, it's more likely she was pretending to like it and having a private laugh at Jez. She clearly had no respect for him and was only having an affair for the thrill
I think Zahra appears to genuinely enjoy the films, novels etc. that she chooses, but I've heard people say that she merely pretends to in order to seem more intelligent, cultured etc. than she is.
I think she does like the super niche intellectual stuff, but leans harder into than she maybe would otherwise just to seem smart. Similarly to how Mark likes clever documentaries but fakes a bit too much interest with Jerry in S9.
@@jr5925 They don't require a high level of intelligence or education to understand. It takes far more concentration to understand films such as Memento or Magnolia.
@@jr5925 It's not a quote. Memento has its scenes in backwards order. Magnolia is long, with many connected characters in different storylines. Those take more concentration & intelligence to appreciate than Wuthering Heights & Amelie, whose stories aren't complicated.
Marc's response sounds like something Harold Bloom might have said. How hilarious that Ben can't take it like as if there is only "one interpretation" of Wuthering Heights.
I can’t believe that I’ve only just realised that Mark must have read the book & online essays even though Jez didn’t pay him(that’s how he recognised that essay the other fella was trying to pass of as his own opinion).
This is, low-key, Mark’s greatest series of moments
He does 3 good ones in a row haha
it's also pretty good for him when he joins the history course at university and get into the top clique
it's nice to see him do well for once
@@gordonlekfors2708 at the expense of realising how easy it is to steal education 😂
It certainly beats making a psycho call to the woman you love, kicking a dog to death, and pepper spraying an acquaintance.
"I'm not a prostitute . . . now please get out of my bed" creases me up every time

The one moment in life where Mark truly got to be cool. I'm happy for him.
And then everyone found out he owns and uses a 9 inch dildo. Absolutely classic Mark
.. and then he goes and spoils it all by saying something stupid like "friends with Kenneth"!

Don;t know why but Mark's "My legs." at the beginning cracks me up.
It's definitely the pause.
"My.... Legs"
This is such a perfect 'set piece', manages to include Mark, Dobby, Jez, and Hans and they're all performing at their best. One of the best moments in the show for me, up there with the wedding.
Ben is such a clean shirt
How does he get that shirt so clean?
But he's not the borough, he's just a man
close to the edge, round by the corner!!!!!!!!
The rare Peep Show happy ending. What a joy.
Jez's guttural laughter and reference to Kenneth at the end is what cracks me up for some reason.
The crack pipe was the first thing the book group would have seen upon entering the flat 😂
Mark Corrigan: literary sigma male
After his closet encounter with Dobby, he was very much a smegma male.
Everyone seems to forget just how well set up the "Crack?" part is. It's exactly what Super Hans knew would happen
my head was gone from how hard I was laughing at that bit
Or was him saying what made it happen
So true, I hadn't made the connection to, "even if I hit you with wood"
“I am not a prostitute, please get out of my bed.”
Dobby's line about Rod Hull and Emu advertising Pringles is underrated.
You know where Hull started out dont you? It was around 1970 in Sydney. He was funny as piles.
@@zapkvr everyone is entitled to their opinion
Even the way hans throws the plank of wood down is funny.
“I’ll do the washing up everyday till I die and then my children will do it after that.”
Mark has several lines in quick succession which killed me from laughter when I first saw them:
"My.... legs..."
"I'm not staying up all night reading Wuthering Heights"
"I am not a prostitute. Now please get out of my bed"

"My Legs" kills me every time
@@itsbreadbin It is so funny but I really don't know why 😅
Earlier in the same episode where he talks about growing a second pair of testicles is also hilarious.
I love how they made him look like Toby Young.
*Crack*
There you go.
Cheers.
Super Hans brilliant cameo here
Hans leaves the plank in the hall!
@@respectedgentleman4322 It's not a cameo - he's in most PS eps.
@@respectedgentleman4322 It's not a cameo, he gave Mark his crack and told him not to give it to him even if he threats to beat him up with a 2 by 4.
The fact that Mark put it by the door, knowing Super Hans would inevitably return for it is brilliant.
"We're letting you castrate yourself - as it's your penknife" 😂😂
I've actually dragged myself through 100 pages of Wuthering Heights before giving up and giving it to a charity shop. I'm with Jez.
Mark is ridiculously tolerant of Jez. Of all Mark's outgoings, his mortgage is probably the only thing that costs him more.
He should have evicted him in season 1 or just moved. This series is a testament to toxic relationships and how toxic people can ruin your life
@@lmn6440 this is so true, and it shows how constantly catastrophizing and looking for the worst in a situation will cost you everything. Regardless of the hand you’ve been dealt, it’s much better to get up, dust up, and carry on because you’re British for God’s sake.
That wouldn't have made for quite as good TV programme though
I wish Mark had more scenes like this where he's winning on a roll. It's so satisfying to watch.
“I’m not a prostitute. Now please get out of my bed.”
First time I’ve noticed that line. Brilliant. So many layers.
Not too many layers
my boy's wicked smart!
I don't think the word C*** was ever used in Peep Show, but it should have been the one time, just for Ben
The Australian girls said cunt a few times
Finally a rare opportunity for the nerd to show Alpha confidence.

Absolutely brilliant... one of the best sitcoms of all time ❤
I love that Hans remembered to bring the wood to follow through on his casual threat.
Ma boy's wicked smaaaart
You’ve got to defeat Ben
The shit
Mark’s ‘Good Will Hunting’ moment. But also the way he says ‘sorry Ben, very easily done’ made him sound like some kind of literary, evil genius.
3:14 was the narration by Jeremy here in the original episode? I don't remember it being.
Mark has defeated Ben but Jeremy still has to discuss a book he hasn’t read.
He could bluff his way out, he always does

So should Gunny.
