Rimmer calls him ugly, and Holly takes offense, citing he chose his current face from a man who was considered the greatest lover who ever lived. Normally, it should have ended there for Holly, but then Rimmer said the guy must have operated in the dark a lot, implying the man was a SerialRapist. That did it.

* OutOfCharacterAlert: Rimmer tries to trick Lister out of taking a test that would make him Rimmer's superior, and allow him to replace Rimmer with a hologram of Kochanski. He does this by taking on Kochanski's appearance, and telling Lister that she would never be interested in him. However, his performance is pretty lousy; "Kochanski" repeats some phrases Rimmer often uses, is easily bluffed when Lister mentions a fake tryst they had, and then tries to cover up her weird behavior by saying she's "having a woman's period".

However Lister points out that he's not taking the astro-navigation exam. He's taking the 'Chef' exam. Then points out he doesn't need to become an officer. Rimmer was the second lowest ranked crewman on the ship besides himself, so Lister getting 'any' promotion, even to chef, will make him Rimmer's superior.

In the novelization ("Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers"), it's explicitly stated that this is ''exactly'' what he does.
