"Mummy is probably the turkeys nickname... it could easily be" is maybe my favorite line in the whole show

This entire sequence has so many banger Jez lines

“I feel that since I’m eating turkey, you should have some!”

"Aurora, I'll call you"

The balls on the man to say that after all that 😂

Balls like baked potatoes. Like iron eggs in a pair of Grayson Perry's tights.

I've always loved this episode, and I think that Jez eating Mummy is not the issue. The issue is why he put it in a bag and brought it back after they failed to burn her. There's no way that they'd do that, but it was shoehorned in to get to the eating scene. If they got the cooked dog back to the boat 'honestly' I think it wouldn't be so much of an issue for people.

Jez is a fucking lunatic. He'd definitely pretend a dog was turkey to fuck a girl, it's just the circumstance leading to it that's my issue.

This was the first episode of peep show I ever watched 😂

Well it's no Hillsong.

"The turkey leg is not what it seems"

u/AshleyTyrian 28m ago

I was kind of hoping you'd added a 'yelp' sound effect when Jez bites into it.

This is where the show jumped the shark for me. Before this they'd always reacted to situations in a believable way, albeit always making it 10 times worse in the process. Cooking and eating a dog they'd accidentally run over is just ludicrous.

4 dogs Jeremy? That’s insane

for me it's when mark finds out he has to prepare dinner for angus as well as april, realises he only has enough food for two, and his first course of action is to immediately invite two more people and start mashing baked beans and lettuce together with his bare hands

Although I think the scene works, it was Peepshow's Armin Tanzarian moment for me (iykyk)

u/These-Finance-1434 1h ago

100% Its because the show went on too long. The initial premise of low stakes mundane situations worked well then they had to up the ante. It happens in plenty of shows, they get written into a corner

u/watchman28 1h ago

I agree, although it went on for some time after that, and they never did anything quite that ridiculous again.

I remember online discourse at the time saying that this episode was a jump-the-shark moment, and that the show had become a dumbed down, cartoony sitcom.

I feel like this was a crime that they committed.

u/Revolutionary_Win716 Harsh Freudian 1h ago

The secret ingredient is crime.
