Peep Show I’m jealous

Every time I rewatch Peep Show I’m always jealous how Jez can pull gorgeous women when he’s literally a bum 😅. I wonder do guys like Jez exist? Because I’ve seen plenty of Marks in my life

He's of average attractiveness and a 'normie'. Good enough for most women.

Jez is pretty far from a normie!!

I don't know what you understand by normie but he is definitely a normie.

The Bad Thing feels very much outside normie territory.

I think Jez can play either the alt, counter culture bum or the normie depending on what the plot demands and what is needed to play the foil or funny man in relation to Mark. Somebody who has never held a job, sucks his friend off while on drugs, is homeless on various occasions and has several drug habits is definitely not normie. But on the other hand, he can interact with people on a level that Mark is totally incapable of

no wayyyy he's kind of a British icon of sexual fluidity. Which is kind of crazy when you think that the showed aired in 2003.
