Peep Show/YMMV

• Alternative Character Interpretation: Sophie. A bitch who manipulated Mark into fatherhood, didn't let him name the baby (cause he wasn't at the Christening), played him and Jeff off against each other, tried to get him to take drugs when he didn't want to, lost him a job and told people he jilted her when she ran off OR Marks the jerk who stalked her and got into a petty rivalry with Jeff over her, got Jez to make nasty phone calls to her over her getting a job that he had no more right than her to anyway (and it turned out she didn't want), used her as a human shield, abandoned her while in labor and decided to marry her to get a big house only to try to jilt her by hiding in the church (ironically, Olivia Coleman dislikes her while David Mitchell thinks she's okay).
• Better on DVD: Watching seasons as a whole allows the viewer to more easily follow all the arcs rather than just the main ones.
• Ensemble Darkhorse: Super Hans, you drug-addled lunatic. Also, smooth operator Alan Johnson.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: In Series 7 Episode 5 (the Christmas Episode), Mark comments that his present for Dobby which he ordered online hasn't arrived in time. With this episode having been filmed in September 2010, the creators had no idea that come December, many Christmas presents ordered online really did fail to reach people on time due to the unusually large snowfall.
• Ho Yay:
  • Jeremy and Super Hans, especially when Jez finally remembers "the bad thing" in an early episode.
  • Mark and Jeremy tend to sabotage the each others' efforts with the opposite sex, and routinely hug and even kiss each other when in high spirits. In short, there's quite a lot of it flying around.
• Jerkass Woobie: Mark and Jeremy. Jeremy with Mark. And Super Hans. And Big Suze’s one-time boyfriend, Stu. And he was a ‘handyman’ for a musician he admired... a musician who expected him to be 'handy'.
  • Hard not to feel a little sorry for Toni in her last scene in Series 1.
• Memetic Mutation: Everyone wants to chew on Dobby's weird hair.
• Moral Event Horizon: Jeff crowns his campaign of sexual humiliation against Mark by sending him out to buy condoms for him and Sophie. If you didn't think that Mark was an amoral coward before he falsely accused him gym instructor of molesting him costing the man his livelihood because he was too much of a coward to tell Sophie he didn't want to marry her, then you surely must now.
• One True Pairing: Mark and Dobby.
• Squick: Jeremy eating the dog. Closely followed by Mark and the pheasant: "You've pulled its bloody head off!".
