There was superb article in, I think the Guardian's Guide magazine, a few years back that compares Super Hans, Jez and Mark to Dorian Gray, Lord Henry and Basil. It's a perfect fit.

I have a friend who refuses to watch the show because of that incident.

Just for info it's "tickety-boo" The bit when Mark's sister says it to Jez? Oh man, hilarious and horrifying.

@avclub-df106893a4574bccb7bce1ff66e788b9:disqus, agreed. I also love the bit after when he tells Big Suze, she's horrifically upset of course and he tells her to forget it, it was just an idea then he stands up and desperately declares "normal normal, we're back to normal"

@avclub-3b5e2c9be5002e87e0477099db5ff21b:disqus, ah, now I feel like a prick.

Uvavu!

Bob Mortimer described Lucas as the "angriest man he has ever met" and I think his characters bare that out. I don't know how you could cast him a a naif and it work. Still, stripper Juno Temple is all Rabin had to say.

Right now, she's probably getting chatted up by some student who's
also worked out she's got the magical combo of beauty and low
self-esteem! 

Men with ven.

To an extent, yes. But it does fit it in with Mark idealising women and then when the reality doesn't match up he finds faults that were there from the beginning. Still, bit of a shame Dobby isn't his one, even if we all know Jez is really.

this is it. This is literally, it. This is the sort of thing people do when they're having a good time!

Patterson Joseph's delivery of -

"clean shirt" is a quite brilliant insult for a bunch of chavvy kids.

Yeh, everyone, EVERYONE on the show is monstrous in someway, be it through sheer narcissism, psychosexual hangups, self involved hedonism and a million other horrible ways of being. About the only 2 decent people are Gerard and Dobby and even Dobby is a bit too much of a hipster especially with her voice going up at…

Absolutely. The pill party and Mark's glorious take down of her friends is a particular highlight.

I am doing excellent shopping.
