What is the point of making an image into a .gif when all it shows is two seconds of a characters' lips moving? There's no reason for these to be animated. There's no real movement in them. The animation adds nothing except an increase in file size and a "choppy" feeling when it loops. Absolute Tumblr/Buzzfeed-tier images. This is my biggest pet peeve on the internet.

idk what book but that's my favourtite peep show moment.
i swear it's the only geniunely good tv show, the only one that has something to say about the human condition.

I feel like Fathers and Sons by Turgenev has kinda similar vibes, in that mark/jez and arkady/bazarov both kinda represent opposite aspects of youth. One side (mark and arkady) is precocious, timid, wants to be initiated by the mystery of life and find a place in the world as it is, while the other (jez and bazarov) wants to forcefully apply its own idiosyncrasy, give nothing of itself away, make a mark and be an individual.

Russian lit has some far-reaching influences. They allude to dosto in the office (uk) and gervais' charged, intense awkwardness is imo clearly influenced by dostoevskys work

I was just thinking earlier how Peep Show is the closest we'll ever get to Britain as being on the same levels as the works of Houllebecq. I feel like Mark and Jeremy would fit in nicely with Houllebecq's cast.

The Office is absolutely fantastic, takes Peep Show to the extreme. It also have the two best endings of any TV show I've ever seen (S2E6 and the Christmas special part 2)
Obviously I'm talking about the UK version not the NPC version.
