Peep Show

[gothick]

After much encouragement from lots of people I know, and bearing in mind I've liked what Mitchell and Webb I've seen, I finally got around to renting the first season of Peep Show.

And I can't stand it.

It's not that I think it's bad, it's just that it's exactly the kind of "embarrassment comedy" that makes me cringe in sympathy for the characters, and has me reaching to turn down the volume or fast forward through much of it, all whilst trying to stuff my fist in my mouth. It is, for me, literally unwatchable.

Is there something wrong with me, I wonder?

Oh well. At least I know I can't cope with it now.

I can't stand embarassment commedy so much that I can't even watch reality TV, where to my mind the whole aim of the programme/editing is the humiliation of contestants... not my thing at all. So yes, I'm with you to an extent. I watched the IT Crowd and loved it, can't watch Ricky Gervais ever and think that Noel Fielding is a complete god and am currently getting into the new series of The Mighty Boosh :) Never even seen Peep Show as even the ads on TV left me cold so never bothered. Black Books... now you're talking!
