    More people should watch Peep Show. I couldn’t stop myself once I started the binge, despite how incredibly awkward the scenes can get. They did some really great stuff with the POV and inner monologue aspects.

    That Mitchell and Webb Look is also very good, and yes, there’s more to it than “Are we the baddies?” and Numberwang!

      Mitchell and Webb look is how I found Peep Show. I definitely prefer the variety/skit show to the sitcom but Peep Show is still pretty brilliant.

      Well… But it’s not exactly brain surgery, is it?

      Numberwang is still one of the funniest sketches ever though. It still gets me everytime.

      Those two are actually like opposites. The brain surgery one somehow plays directly in to your expectations, where you see the punchline coming a mile away, and it still works, while numberwang works by just subverting every expectation you have.
