* KickTheSonOfABitch: The treatment that Mark gets in the workplace after he ''ostensibly'' goes through with [[spoiler:the marriage to Sophie]] having been caught hiding in the church. It's closely followed by a very [[UnusualEuphemism literal]] PetTheDog in the stationery cupboard with Dobby.

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: Super Hans talking about first seeing the alleged love of his life: "When I first set eyes on [her], it was like my first joint, like my first [[Music/DavidBowie Bowie]] track, like my first Creator/RuthRendell."

* AThreesomeIsHot: In series 3, Jez tells his girlfriend that a threesome with two women is his ultimate fantasy, and she surprisingly agrees to do it - unfortunately for him, because he had been trying to break up with her. He gets hyped up for it hoping the other woman will be Big Suze, but instead it's a dour HighPoweredCareerWoman with a foot injury who seemingly wants nothing to do with him. The whole thing ends up being a big chore for everyone including Jez, not a fantasy fulfillment.

--> '''Mark:''' Jeremy, there are many things I would do to help you, but digging a hole in the wintry earth with my bare hands so that you can bury [[spoiler: the corpse of a dog you've killed]] is not one of them.



-->'''Mark''': (Stalking's a very loaded term. I prefer to think of it as "extreme liking.")

''Peep Show'' (2003-05, 2007-10, 2012, 2015) is a ''very'' [[BlackComedy darkly comical]] show about two very ordinary weirdos: Jeremy "Jez" Usbourne (Creator/RobertWebb), a {{manchild}} with dreams of becoming a musician, and Mark Corrigan (Creator/{{David Mitchell|Actor}}), a fifty-year-old in a thirtysomething's body. The show's gimmick is that (with very few exceptions) every camera shot in the show is taken [[POVCam from the point of view of one of the characters]], whether Jez and Mark or just someone passing by. It also allows the viewer to hear the internal thought processes of both Mark and Jez as they bumble through their lives... and the show makes good on its promise of showing us ''everything'' going on in their heads.

* MistakenForPedophile: When Mark's son is about to being born, Mark express his confusion to Jez about this moment in his life, confessing he's a pedophobe and always felt weird around children. Jez says that he always suspected (and consideres, in thought, punching Mark), only realizing he said "pedophobe" and not "pedophile" after a while.
