***** not keen Jeremey's whole 'gay affair' tbh. Thought it was hilarious when he did 'the bad thing' with Superhans in like season 2 or whatever, but this is a bit too far.
Honestly that lady nails the HR/interview role. She reminds of all my failed/ unsuccessful job interviews and the women that conducted them. Watching this scene almost gives me anxiety.
@@weswheel4834 I thought the joke was that it's such a bad thing to say that it's funny that Jez thinks it's a good thing! Maybe everyone in this thread is being sarcastic?!
Dude I watched this high af for the first time recently and thought I imagined it bc it was so quick. Needless to say I was pretty much dying when I realized what happened 🤣
Yes the face Jez makes at the interviewer is hilarious, but somehow the massive winks they give each other in clear view of her at 0:16 are even better
One of my first jobs was a clerical role for local government. There were a lot of older, technophobic people there, si i'd often get their equivalent of a weeks work done in like a couple of hours simply because I was aware of the existence of CTRL-C and CTRL-V, after which I'd spend the rest of my week playing flash games. I feel sorry for clerical workers of the future - when the younger generation is doing the hiring in 20 years time, they'll actually be expected to do some work.
@@Christian-rn1ur Lol that's brilliant. I remember doing mainly clerical stuff in some work experience and spending most of my time playing minesweeper.
Got drunk and started watching this show for the first time last night, that facial spasm was so unexpected I couldn't stop laughing for like 10 minutes lmao
I love how sincere Mark is when he says "I literally have no idea what that means", he's forgotten about his magazine and can't believe Jeremy would say such a thing.
I love the acting in the early seasons. Barbara's face when they wink at each other, Mark's reaction to Jez's grimace, in fact the performances as a whole were outstanding.
In his defense, when else would you be professionally "sorting things" in a lower income environment than an office? A library maybe? Thats pretty much it though, stupid question really.
The scene before when they're talking about the interview while drinking in the bathroom. Jez's little laugh to himself after he thinks "but I don't think I'll be getting the job". So good!
It's one of the rare shows that managed to do many series (nine of them) and not start copying old storylines. It is one of the most well-written TV Shows in history.
I'd argue that the show went completely off the boil towards the end and bordered on boring. I think about when they introduced Dobby as a character was around the time its began to lose its charm and started staling.
Oh man I remember interviews like that! Going for a dead-end data entry/call centre job and being asked what you can bring to the roll and why you want to work with them. IM BROKE AND DESPERATE!
I love that TH-cam shows us the section people have rewatched the most. There's a spike the size of Venezuela's inflation rate just when Jez pulls the face.
@@SpaceMissile Earlier in the episode Jeremy went into Marks room to look for porn. He didnt find any, but he found a bunch of fantasy RPG-type magazines and decided to toss off to a picture of an elf princess thing. So this clip is double hilarious because it was Jeremy who wanked off to it, but Mark has, as he said, literally no idea what he means.
Peep Show The attack on Pearl Harbor was a surprise military strike by the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service against the United States naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii Territory, on the morning of December 7, 1941. The attack, also known as the Battle of Pearl Harbor, led to the United States' entry into World War II. The Japanese military leadership referred to the attack as the Hawaii Operation and Operation AI, and as Operation Z during its planning.
i have to admit, i was skeptical about this show when i started it, then i watched this scene, and when he pulls that face, i laughed so hard i couldnt stop watching...ive watched the entire show 4 times now
The funny thing is when he finally joined JLB in the Series 6 premiere, he was in fact doing really well. He was even invited to go to the pub with his colleagues, a privilege Mark never even found out about until Jez told him. Too bad JLB shut down in the same episode and everyone lost their jobs haha.
Does the face to stop him getting job lol always makes me laugh i think of the face kind thing i wd do if didn't want the job. Kind thing i do in my review lol. My mate came to see nw many years ago and was talking about a game id bought i forget. But he said take it to review and start talking to it lol what's the episode where superhan is sucking him of lol
This is such a crescendo of hilarious moments all firing off together, and then comes the moment where Jeremy turns it around and starts pyramid selling, only for the finale of mark *literally not knowing what that means*
Jez pulling that face is the moment that Peep Show stopped being just that weird post-pub sitcom that I occasionally caught on Channel Four, and instead became one of the pillars of my 20s.
![That Mitchell & Webb Look - Job Interview [HQ]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/-jhKceRgpak/mqdefault.jpg)
What makes me laugh most about this scene is that the only reason he does the "face" is because he thinks she is being charmed by him
+isonic Too funny... such great writing
hahaha it's brilliant XD
Yep, you might almost say it's ironic.
No shit sherlock.
Well she was being charmed by him.
I swear, that face that Jeremy makes at Barbara is one of the funniest things that's ever happened on Peep Show.
Yes absolutely agree. That's why I couldn't resist clicking on this video, I had to see it again!
Definitely *****
+Peter O'Donoghue Ive just rewatched that bit 100 times, funnier every time!
***** not keen Jeremey's whole 'gay affair' tbh. Thought it was hilarious when he did 'the bad thing' with Superhans in like season 2 or whatever, but this is a bit too far.
I think it was in character, jez mentions sleeping with guys regularly throughout the series
I love how Marks denial of fancying elves and pixies makes him look 10x more guilty haha
Fancying elves and pixies is no crime!
I feel the question of my fancying Orks and Goblins has already been answered by my "I do not fancy Orks or Goblins" t-shirt.
I actually thought his denial was relatively convincing, given how poorly he lies under other circumstances
I think he genuniley doesn't hes just a fantasy enthusiast. Mark seems way to embarrassed to actually wank to that sort of thing
@David Nash season 1 Mark and season 6 Mark are not really the same character imo
Honestly that lady nails the HR/interview role. She reminds of all my failed/ unsuccessful job interviews and the women that conducted them. Watching this scene almost gives me anxiety.
Well thats all....
yeah lmao, when you think the interview is going well until you peek at the performance chart to see that everything is ticked ''poor'''
it's such dumb humour but it was hilarious when i first watched it.
She was awesome in this role
she is such a vibe I'm serious
"More like doing a crossword than a tracheotomy"
That's actually brilliant bullshitting.
Yeah it's a clever analogy. Jez wasn't really wrong that he could have been swinging it there
It's so good, it's almost worth stealing it and hoping that the interviewer doesn't remember seeing it on Peep Show.
It may also be a reference to a TV show called 'The Smoking Room' which starred Robert Webb and crosswords.
lol its typicel jeramy to make up something like trackyotemy like it something litrelly out of star trek he is such a vibe fr
@@weswheel4834 I thought the joke was that it's such a bad thing to say that it's funny that Jez thinks it's a good thing! Maybe everyone in this thread is being sarcastic?!
it's not the face he pulls for me, it's the way he immediately returns to a normal face as if nothing happened
Dude I watched this high af for the first time recently and thought I imagined it bc it was so quick. Needless to say I was pretty much dying when I realized what happened 🤣
Yes the face Jez makes at the interviewer is hilarious, but somehow the massive winks they give each other in clear view of her at 0:16 are even better
Seen this scene so many times and never even noticed that, thanks!
@@quantumblurrr how lol
Never saw that, WOW
To be fair, what more can you say for a clerical role? "Yes I have a PhD in filing and I'm passionate about getting administrative systems in order."
Well it is a job interview at a BS financial company so they probably want so much smoke blown up their ass they'd float away.
One of my first jobs was a clerical role for local government. There were a lot of older, technophobic people there, si i'd often get their equivalent of a weeks work done in like a couple of hours simply because I was aware of the existence of CTRL-C and CTRL-V, after which I'd spend the rest of my week playing flash games. I feel sorry for clerical workers of the future - when the younger generation is doing the hiring in 20 years time, they'll actually be expected to do some work.
Throw in the Dewey Decimal System for some bonus points too
@@Christian-rn1ur Lol that's brilliant. I remember doing mainly clerical stuff in some work experience and spending most of my time playing minesweeper.
They should do honest interviews I reckon 'so why are you interested in the role' 'I need money mate'
I remember the first time I saw that face he pulled, couldn't stop laughing for about 20 minutes.
@rob mcmahon you've never been enthralled in a fit of laughter. I've had a solid 3 days of laughing before ^.~
@Pingers Bingers their capacity for exaggeration is eyebrow raising
This scene is what made me love the show, when he did that face I couldn't stop laughing.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? I LITERALLY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THAT MEANS
Have you figured it out yet?
The writer who came up with that face twitch deserves the key to whatever town he lives in.
They write themselves
Also in the previous scene where Mark is telling him about the interview and he laughs when he thinks about bombing it intentionally
jesse armstrong and sam bainer or something
@@cptcaveman221069 They did add additional material but they weren't the main writers.
And jeremy (forgot the actors name) for delivering it
"You're pissing on my bonfire". "There is no bonfire". "Be ause you keep pissing on it!" One of my fav peep show lines
One of my favourites is, "you ate mummy!?". The scene to go with this is important too.
"How much washing up do you think you could do, with no washing up liquid?" - iconic
I LOVE that he tries to sell her on the pyramid scheme at the end lololololol I love this show so much
This show is just pure genius.
The facial spasm still kills me to this day.
Jezzed it.
akiko Isobel a proper balls up, a real jezzing
@@Superspy315 Ah man, so funny :D
Got drunk and started watching this show for the first time last night, that facial spasm was so unexpected I couldn't stop laughing for like 10 minutes lmao
2:02, possibly the funniest thing ever.
gets me everytime
Robert Wright I
Are you okay?!
Yes. I don’t do pills anymore but I’ve wondered what that point must be like on pills..
How Jez just sits back calmly after pulling that face. Brilliant scene this one.
I can't believe this is episode TWO. They got this show right straight away
When he suppresses a yawn at the :22 mark! Robert Webb doesn't get enough credit as an actor.
"Jesus, where did that come from?"
Maybe he overheard Super Hans say it 😂
A E “right your turn”
The gayness casually creeps in throughout
“Jeremy could you file this for me?”
“Jeremy could you take that for me?”
“Jeremy could you suck this for me?” JESUS. Where did that come from?!
Yes. I also watched it. Why do people just rest what was in the video we all just watched
Weird
@@bcryan9465
Because they like the quote and think it’s funny
@@bcryan9465 Yes it would be weird if people were resting what was in the video.
Greatest scene of the entire show
"What does that mean?! I literally have no idea what that is supposed to mean."
I love how sincere Mark is when he says "I literally have no idea what that means", he's forgotten about his magazine and can't believe Jeremy would say such a thing.
I love the acting in the early seasons. Barbara's face when they wink at each other, Mark's reaction to Jez's grimace, in fact the performances as a whole were outstanding.
Jeremy's suppressed yawn @0:20 genius.
"Alphabetizing the video tapes" Lmao
*Alphabetebesizing :)
aragornthebrave lmao...i had to rewind it. i thought "did he mean alphabetizing?" LOL
lambyiii He was trying to say that but failed :)
In his defense, when else would you be professionally "sorting things" in a lower income environment than an office? A library maybe? Thats pretty much it though, stupid question really.
and Spices...
"You're pissing on my bonfire!!!"
"THERE IS NO BONFIRE!!"
"BECAUSE YOU KEEP PISSING ON IT!!"
Marvellous
Little known fact: That face Jez makes was the inspiration for a similar scene in LOTR when Bilbo sees the ring again
2:49, Marks reaction gets me every time! 😂
His overreaction makes him look guilty as hell
It's also exactly how I would respond to being asked a question like that!
And I don't fancy Elves and Pixies at all!
The way Jez handles this interview is exactly how I am. And why I don't have a job.
lol
"Don't accidentally get the bugger.." Oh god..
+White mage 1 year old comment gg, im so sad this show is gone
Stevean2 fuck yes!
It's been 3 years Matt, did you get a job?
Easily one of the funniest moments of the show
When he starts pyramid selling, I just can't - this is the best show ever made
This show is pure comedic genius. I genuinely have to take breaks from watching it though due to how much it makes me cringe sometimes hahah
The scene before when they're talking about the interview while drinking in the bathroom. Jez's little laugh to himself after he thinks "but I don't think I'll be getting the job". So good!
"We're doing great.."
It's the way his face returns to normal afterwards like nothing happened.
Yeah
Such a shame Peep Show finished, each of the series was just funny and witty.
It's one of the rare shows that managed to do many series (nine of them) and not start copying old storylines.
It is one of the most well-written TV Shows in history.
Except from all the times when they copied their old storylines.
They only started doing that in season 9, which is when the series does start to run a bit stale for me personally.
I'd argue that the show went completely off the boil towards the end and bordered on boring. I think about when they introduced Dobby as a character was around the time its began to lose its charm and started staling.
@Space Monkey he was always gay
Sometimes the writers fail to portray Jeremy as the complete imbecile they envisaged by giving him brilliant lines.
Oh man I remember interviews like that!
Going for a dead-end data entry/call centre job and being asked what you can bring to the roll and why you want to work with them.
IM BROKE AND DESPERATE!
I couldn’t help but think of this scene just before a recent interview. I smirked all the way up the stairs...
Definitely one of my all time favorite scenes.
This is when I realised how special Peep Show was. When Jeremy was talking about pixies and Mark was completely dumbfounded I loved hysterically
1:56 I nearly choked when he made that face, I was not expecting that at all! XD
I love that TH-cam shows us the section people have rewatched the most. There's a spike the size of Venezuela's inflation rate just when Jez pulls the face.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? I LITERALLY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THAT IS SUPPOSED TO MEAN.
did it mean anything? i don't watch the show, but it sounded like he was covering up something.
@@SpaceMissile Earlier in the episode Jeremy went into Marks room to look for porn. He didnt find any, but he found a bunch of fantasy RPG-type magazines and decided to toss off to a picture of an elf princess thing. So this clip is double hilarious because it was Jeremy who wanked off to it, but Mark has, as he said, literally no idea what he means.
@@StackerNoobUK thank you kindly, good sir. here's an internet cookie for you! 🍪
The facial spasm is when the Peep Show truly begins
welcome to the peep show
Started watching Peep Show for the first time last night and I think that face got me hooked for good...
Jez's pride and egoism crossing wires with his laziness is one of the best things about this scene.
This kind of reminds me of the job interview bit from Trainspotting!
Except Jeremys not on coke like spud
spud was on speed.
Thomasthelich99 He probably is. Remember Hans?
Mr Murphy, do you mean to say that you...LIED on your application form?
Aye only tae get ma foot in tha door like
a wee dab o speed to calm tha nerves
This has to be one of the best ever scenes in the entire show
2:02 best scene ever
lol
Watching this scene with no context is what convinced me to watch the show
"What does that mean, I literally have no idea what that is supposed to mean!" 2:48
Miss this show so much. There was & is no other show like it :(
Hahaha
Peep Show hahaha
I'm in character.
Hahaha
Yes

Just realised at 1:20 she writes him as having poor everything 😂😂
No Shit ✔
What do you mean just realised. It took up the whole screen
Haha I can relate to the whole: "I have to look serious" thing.
"Thanks for coming in. We'll be in touch."
This is the funniest scene in the whole show.
Professional... Zone... Sphere... I meant sphere...
i have to admit, i was skeptical about this show when i started it, then i watched this scene, and when he pulls that face, i laughed so hard i couldnt stop watching...ive watched the entire show 4 times now
Jez is the kind of guy to reluctantly work in a call centre but then inexplicably do really well
then you find out a year later he was scamming and got sacked
@@dandominare this is more accurate
The funny thing is when he finally joined JLB in the Series 6 premiere, he was in fact doing really well. He was even invited to go to the pub with his colleagues, a privilege Mark never even found out about until Jez told him. Too bad JLB shut down in the same episode and everyone lost their jobs haha.
ending a job interview with a pyramid selling pitch wonderful
I watched this ep last night and that face absolutely floored me, best laugh of that day easily
Does the face to stop him getting job lol always makes me laugh i think of the face kind thing i wd do if didn't want the job. Kind thing i do in my review lol. My mate came to see nw many years ago and was talking about a game id bought i forget. But he said take it to review and start talking to it lol what's the episode where superhan is sucking him of lol
Was in absolute stitches the first time i watched this scene
Are you ok-ayyy?! Classic Barbara.
"exactly. that's so barbara. she's such a racist! :)"
That face, i keep coming back time and time again just to see it. I`ll never get tired of it i still crack up every time haha
Jez' yawn at 0:23 is really good acting
We need more of this awkward humor. It's so relatable and funny
Between the wink, "the face" and the pyramid selling this has got to be one of the funniest tv scenes ever.
Marks wink to Jeremy is the most obvious thing ever
This is such a crescendo of hilarious moments all firing off together, and then comes the moment where Jeremy turns it around and starts pyramid selling, only for the finale of mark *literally not knowing what that means*
2:02 i fuckin piss myself everytime i see that! lmao
2:02 the first recorded instance of a Jerma moment happening in a non-Jerma life-form.
His name is Jeremy though
lol love the wink right as the HR lady is saying 'keep everything above board'
"You're pissing on my bonfire!"
"There is no bonfire!"
"Because you keep pissing on it!"
2:02 hahaha
Jez pulling that face is the moment that Peep Show stopped being just that weird post-pub sitcom that I occasionally caught on Channel Four, and instead became one of the pillars of my 20s.
I have an interview today and I think it's going to go exactly like this
The fucking face gets me every single time
2:02 still cracks me up to this day
Watched this to relax my nerves before a job interview this week
Wha- what are you talking about!? Elves!? Pixies!? What sort of menagerie do you imagine I would be imagining!?
"Thanks for coming in, we'll be in touch!" Ohhhh the eternal LIE
Mark at the end of this scene. This is the most realistic expression of innocent guilt I've ever seen in a TV show or movie ever 🤣
Jez accusing Mark of having a pixie and elves fetish and Mark's reaction are brilliant
i always watch this video before an interview
Marks response to fancying elves and pixies makes him look 100x more guilty
Stolen comment
Love Jeremy's smug look at the end
2:02 is simply the funniest thing i have ever seen 🤣
I love Robert Webb more than anything else
Webb has a fantastic book. I'd buy any audio book he'd do.
Simple but its very favourite moment, Jez facial expression, its only sl effective though given th professional build up
this is gold
LOL how he's worried he did great and she marks "poor".
He should have just played "this is outrageous" that would definitely have landed him the job...........
I thought he sounded quite good in this interview.
Probably why you're not an interviewer.
When Jez does that face! Hahaha!
