The “El Dude Brothers”. You find out later where it came from.

Duncan
2025-08-28 21:45:52 +0000 UTCYou’re right Mike. You have seen Jeff in something else. He’s in The Office, he’s the guy that’s getting made redundant by Brent. The one who’s describing the difference between dwarves, midgets, elves etc. 😂
Sam Wolsey
2025-08-28 18:38:35 +0000 UTCThis show is great. I’m watching this again and it was only posted 3 days ago 😂
Emma Edwards
2025-08-27 09:09:00 +0000 UTCI didn't know that, Thank you!

2025-08-25 21:45:03 +0000 UTCHe’s also the one hired at the very start of the first episode “he gives the tests…”

2025-08-25 21:44:08 +0000 UTCTea is serious business. There's now to laugh at!
Paul08031977
2025-08-25 13:24:54 +0000 UTCYes, as I understand, most black tea should be steeped in boiling water. But other teas, such as green, at a lower temperature.

2025-08-25 11:23:24 +0000 UTCYou have very persuasive friends.
ElvisLee
2025-08-25 10:16:54 +0000 UTCThe reason that milk should not go in first is because for tea to be brewed properly, the water poured onto the teabag must be at boiling temperature. This why tea in places like Costa or Starbucks is often poor and weak, because they are using the water at a temperature more suited to coffee. Even some English people are unaware of this, and they are often confused as to why someone would click the kettle back on when the water is still extremely hot. I think that Jess is living up to the show's title seeing as she watches a lot of it through her fingers 🫣
ElvisLee
2025-08-25 10:10:28 +0000 UTCMike after thirty seconds: “That last episode left me a little bit scarred.” Mike after thirty minutes: 😳
Duncan
2025-08-25 03:08:36 +0000 UTCHis total confusion at Mark not being in love with The Company is pure gold.
Duncan
2025-08-25 03:01:04 +0000 UTCOMG cracking up - Jess can you blink just a few more times please - your reaction is brilliant. 🤩
sadie penman
2025-08-25 01:56:11 +0000 UTC“You don’t put milk in first, that’s savage.” Again, well done Jess 😂👍🏻
Duncan
2025-08-25 01:55:59 +0000 UTCEnter the legend Johnson.
Gary
2025-08-25 00:59:44 +0000 UTCJohnson's disgust at Mark loving him and not the business is the perfect summary for Johnson's character. He's a businessman and that's all he wants.🤣
trev
2025-08-25 00:03:14 +0000 UTCControversial! 🙂 Wars have been started for less 😂
Duncan
2025-08-24 23:21:10 +0000 UTCJess’ reaction to Mark changing the gears in Johnson’s car was pretty much my reaction too 😂
Duncan
2025-08-24 23:19:51 +0000 UTCJohnson is the greatest character ever
Aaron Page
2025-08-24 23:07:03 +0000 UTCOne of the funniest episodes of anything I've ever seen lol. Just absolutely barmy from start to finish. Absolutely ingenious craziness.
James Forrest
2025-08-24 22:54:22 +0000 UTCmark's weird behavior clearly stems from him putting the milk in first
Nath
2025-08-24 22:00:04 +0000 UTCIt’s less weird after season 1 I love that episode tho
Chorlton Outlaw
2025-08-24 21:52:53 +0000 UTCTeam milk in tea first 🙋♀️
Nicola
2025-08-24 21:39:30 +0000 UTCPlease carry on 🤞🏻
afrochuck
2025-08-24 21:21:38 +0000 UTCYou might be recognising Jeff as he was in a scene of the British Office - he's the one being laid off by David Brent, then David and Gareth start asking him all those questions about elves and dwarves and midgets 😂
Ian
2025-08-24 21:11:29 +0000 UTCI'd have to break your rule, then. Sorry!
Paul08031977
2025-08-24 21:10:18 +0000 UTCUntil next episode
Barok
2025-08-24 20:25:41 +0000 UTCShe’s bright as a button
Erica
2025-08-24 20:19:35 +0000 UTCThat episode is so good 🤣🤣🤣
Erica
2025-08-24 20:19:05 +0000 UTCThat is a brilliantly succinct summary on quite a ‘unique’ friendship over the course of so many seasons, fair play!
Ash C
2025-08-24 20:16:58 +0000 UTCHave a feeling Jess had to fax her soul off to God…for an upgrade after this episode 😂 Also reckon if you were to ever someday do a ‘best of’ highlights compilation of reactions when you hang up the boots this will be right up there 🤣
Ash C
2025-08-24 20:14:49 +0000 UTCSeen every series a couple of times through and Super Hans and Johnson became my 2 favourite characters as the show progresses. Both come into their own and only get more mental as they develop 🤣
Patrick Nicholls
2025-08-24 20:09:18 +0000 UTCthese two clearly have a problem with gay people
Daniel
2025-08-24 19:53:25 +0000 UTCThat's a common misconception, most coffee is roast at temps over 200c so boiling water can't burn it, it over extracts and brings out bitter flavours which are already in the coffee, but this only happens with dark roast coffee, most medium roast and all light roast coffees can be brewed with boiling water straight out of the kettle with no over extraction.
Mark Jones
2025-08-24 19:51:57 +0000 UTC‘The Johnson’ - one of the finest characters in any comedy show!
Duncan
2025-08-24 19:44:21 +0000 UTCi for one liked the gay porn bit
Daniel
2025-08-24 19:41:13 +0000 UTCDamn 👍
Megatron
2025-08-24 18:20:17 +0000 UTCYes, don't worry, Superhans isn't in any more episodes.
David Jones
2025-08-24 17:51:59 +0000 UTCI hope we don't traumatise these poor people too much 😔 Jess went green 😕 was hilarious though 😆
Josh Read
2025-08-24 17:51:45 +0000 UTCCoffee actually burns at a high temp. I usually put a dash of milk in first to prevent this. Tea bags, however, need a high temperature to steep properly. Putting the milk in first is sacrilege. Jess is correct.
Simon Charlie
2025-08-24 17:20:18 +0000 UTCI would def count them as 'friends' but their relationship is toxic af. They are co-dependent.. Mark relies on Jez's social confidence and energy for the 'less serious side of life' while Jez needs Mark's stability. However, as we so very often hear in their minds, they are both very resentful of this co-dependent situation and therefore each other.
Simon Charlie
2025-08-24 17:10:28 +0000 UTCJess quick to pick up on the insinuations in Mark doing the gears, didn't think that would translate so quickly.
emu cat
2025-08-24 17:05:11 +0000 UTCno milk on tea bag fs noooooo...... lol show is nuts lol
Paul
2025-08-24 16:34:09 +0000 UTCEven if you brew in a teapot, you still don't put the milk in first. You need to see how strong the tea is first then add milk to taste...
Paul08031977
2025-08-24 16:06:44 +0000 UTCYes never put the milk in a cup/mug first. You've got to let the tea in the bag brew out into the hot water unimpinged by the layer of milk fat blocking the tea bag pores.
Fordy7169
2025-08-24 16:01:49 +0000 UTCIf you brew in a teapot it hardly matters which way round, same with coffee 'not that instant shyte' brew it in a coffee pot, heat milk 30secs in microwave is easiest or use pan if you're quality, top with proper coffee. Either way but not for brew in the cup tea, let it cook some before the milk surely. Obviously this is most important thing we gather from this episode 😆🙂
emu cat
2025-08-24 15:48:40 +0000 UTCHe actually co-wrote Phoenix nights, along with Dave Spikey.
Paul08031977
2025-08-24 15:48:12 +0000 UTChahahah tooo funny
Alex Miller
2025-08-24 15:34:24 +0000 UTCyou do recognise Jeff, he was in an episode of The Office UK, he's the guy who Brent fires. He's also in Peter Kay's Phoenix Nights (which you NEED to watch) watched both series regularly for years, took multiple watches for me to realise it was the same actor
Δ Tessellate
2025-08-24 15:02:32 +0000 UTCThe ending of this one is pretty hard to watch, but you have so much more cringe to come. As others have said, it gets better after season 1.
Karlos
2025-08-24 14:53:11 +0000 UTCThis is the reaction I'd been waiting for since you guys said you like cringe comedy while watching The Office or something.
Kirk Deighton
2025-08-24 14:47:41 +0000 UTC100% agreed
Dandelion
2025-08-24 14:00:37 +0000 UTCDoes it? 🤔
Dandelion
2025-08-24 13:58:02 +0000 UTCFinally, I now don't have to feel bad for calling Mike 'Daddio' all the time
Daz Parker
2025-08-24 13:15:25 +0000 UTCIt gets WAY worse 😄
Dannythedoodle
2025-08-24 13:13:25 +0000 UTCJohnson has to be one of the top comedy characters of all time, his appearances only get funnier. Watching you watching the reveal of 'the bad thing' was hysterical haha
Rach
2025-08-24 12:59:07 +0000 UTCI'm on Jess' side. Only criminals make tea like that!
Dannythedoodle
2025-08-24 12:56:22 +0000 UTCTwo quick things that might help when watching this M&J! This and the last episode have the most difficult scenes to watch imo. There is only a few more anywhere near that tricky in the whole show, and by then you will have your sea legs! Also you won't have come across characters like this much in the US comedies I wouldn't have thought. As you can see they aren't very nice people, selfish, dysfunctional, codependent, arguably sociopathic! It's all just a disaster in slow mo, so knowing all that, best way to enjoy it is just relax and watch the carnage unfold!
Richard Stokes
2025-08-24 12:55:12 +0000 UTCYou're right, only psychopaths make tea like that
Nathan Wilson
2025-08-24 12:55:11 +0000 UTCMy fave ep
Ethan furness
2025-08-24 12:47:37 +0000 UTC"I hope Super Hans never shows up again" How dare you! 🤣
Lee
2025-08-24 12:35:10 +0000 UTCThis was hilarious 🤣 I think Jess needed a stiff drink after this!
Emily
2025-08-24 12:31:06 +0000 UTCYou don't like a BJ POV?
Ian Roxburgh
2025-08-24 12:29:54 +0000 UTCCome on Mike a cheeky BJ between friends is standard practice in the UK.
Jára Zimmerman
2025-08-24 12:18:04 +0000 UTCcongrats you survived arguably the most cringe episode of the whole show lol. Great reaction guys though. The series really picks up from season 2 onwards, the character really start shining
Demceez
2025-08-24 11:57:32 +0000 UTCI just wanna know how comes you know so much about Neil Fitzmaurice?
Tro Janors
2025-08-24 11:50:31 +0000 UTCam I the only one hearing Mike say "Billy Mitchell"? 🤣
James Welsh
2025-08-24 11:22:44 +0000 UTCGreat episode!
bobby g
2025-08-24 11:02:32 +0000 UTCright my turn now
Vee
2025-08-24 10:59:14 +0000 UTCI think this episode has traumatised you both, haha
Kevin Liversage
2025-08-24 10:55:42 +0000 UTC'The El Dude Brothers'. They're not brothers and certainly not dudes. 'Jeff' is played by Neil Fitzmaurice, as people have mentioned he was the forklift driver 'Alex' in the 1st and last episodes of The Office. He also appears in Peter Kay's Phoenix Nights show and was one of the co-writers.
Fordy7169
2025-08-24 10:52:41 +0000 UTCYes of course. Maybe 80%.
Fordy7169
2025-08-24 10:47:20 +0000 UTC"it plopped out" 😅😂🤣
Jamie Derry
2025-08-24 09:58:26 +0000 UTC33:18 - I think British comedy finally broke you guys.

SimonNZ
2025-08-24 09:26:41 +0000 UTCI guess it IS sort of... nice?
NameJeff
2025-08-24 09:23:09 +0000 UTC2003 doesn't seem that long ago but it's amazing how much things have changed. Mark had to go to the shop, purchase some gay pornography, take it home and put it in his VHS player just to check if he was gay. Nowadays, I can bring up even hardcore European style gay pornography on my phone within seconds. I've already checked three times this morning and I'm happy to confirm that I'm not gay.
Jeffrey44
2025-08-24 09:21:56 +0000 UTCShould've labelled this one "The emasculation of Mike" 😂
Ever So Sweet Mary Jane
2025-08-24 09:15:25 +0000 UTCI was waiting for the reaction to that ending - the cut to Lighthouse Family in the credits is perfect 😂
Tim
2025-08-24 09:09:28 +0000 UTCI enjoyed this but that ending sucked.
ElvisLee
2025-08-24 09:06:37 +0000 UTC" no no no" lol
mark
2025-08-24 09:02:12 +0000 UTCI’m always confused how people know how strong it is when it’s already milky. I don’t take milk at all, so maybe I’m just not used to the different shades of brown.
Julian
2025-08-24 08:59:12 +0000 UTCGreat reaction Jess & Mike
The Puzzler 99
2025-08-24 08:57:28 +0000 UTCYay!!! You’re finally laughing at the show 🫶🏻 It just takes a while to get to know the characters. It’s character based humour. You’ll absolutely love watching their multiple story arcs! And I’ll love watching you watching it!
Annabel Andrews
2025-08-24 08:55:59 +0000 UTCYou never put the milk in first! 😭😭😭😭
Matt Draper
2025-08-24 08:52:39 +0000 UTCForget the TV show, I'm here for Mike's reaction 🤣
Nathan Daly
2025-08-24 08:51:29 +0000 UTC‘Why, Daddio?’
Scott Innes
2025-08-24 08:42:17 +0000 UTCI have watched peepshow 100 times and can easily watch it 100 times more and it gets better in season 2.
SEAN
2025-08-24 08:41:52 +0000 UTCAdmit it, she's got a FAT ARSE. SAY IT
James Waters
2025-08-24 08:35:29 +0000 UTCThe first season is a tough watch but it gets so much better. Johnson is also a great re-occuring character.
Jon
2025-08-24 08:32:22 +0000 UTCSuper Hans is my favourite character in this by far. Some of the lines he comes out with.
Annabel Andrews
2025-08-24 08:30:46 +0000 UTCHe didn’t say “I’m in love with you”, that was his internal dialogue.
Annabel Andrews
2025-08-24 08:30:14 +0000 UTCYou are paying to get that snake to get dry cleaned!
Annabel Andrews
2025-08-24 08:27:58 +0000 UTCMale relationships.

2025-08-24 08:24:22 +0000 UTCTake me Johnson
Jamie
2025-08-24 07:57:26 +0000 UTCDepends where
Jamie
2025-08-24 07:56:39 +0000 UTCwtf was that episode all about 🫣🤣
Emma Edwards
2025-08-24 07:34:35 +0000 UTCYeh occasionally they have good intentions but most of the time it’s a slow motion car wreck and we’re along for the ride.
Julian
2025-08-24 07:33:41 +0000 UTCPlease don’t give up on the show 😂 this is probably the most ‘explicit’ one. You’ll start to love Johnson too, he steals every scene he’s in. You’ve made it this far so it’s smooth sailing from here 😂
JK 88
2025-08-24 07:28:34 +0000 UTCJohnson! My favourite character...
Andrew
2025-08-24 07:26:24 +0000 UTCAlthough it will often be for different reasons. I think maybe season 1 is the cringiest in some ways.
Julian
2025-08-24 07:23:06 +0000 UTCUs British don't use Johnson to mean Penis. That's more an American thing.
Tro Janors
2025-08-24 07:17:08 +0000 UTCAhh the introduction of one of my favourite comedy characters ever
James Aston
2025-08-24 07:15:54 +0000 UTCWas waiting for that final scene of the bad thing 😂😂😂
Mark
2025-08-24 07:06:08 +0000 UTCThey're both awful people, Mark is more responsible and Jez is a complete leech but they both do awful things. I always say between them they kinda make up a proper person that's why they need and depend on each other so much. I do respect that Mark essentially keeps Jez afloat when he doesn't have to, he never pays rent and contributes nothing. Without Mark Jez would be on the street or dead. But I don't think it's out of any nobility, he'd never admit it but Mark needs Jez as much as he needs him
Michael
2025-08-24 07:05:18 +0000 UTCSuch a happy ending 😂
KMoz
2025-08-24 06:59:24 +0000 UTCSorry to warn you guys but this episode is not the cringiest you will feel in the series 🤣🤣
Jaxon's Jerseys
2025-08-24 06:57:06 +0000 UTCYou will adapt to the cringe, don’t worry. Johnson is one of the best recurring characters
Cem
2025-08-24 06:55:18 +0000 UTCShabba!
Dan G, Leicester
2025-08-24 06:55:03 +0000 UTCSorry Mike but you'll be seeing much more of Super Hans.. in a future episode he even gets his 🐍 out 😉
Dan G, Leicester
2025-08-24 06:51:52 +0000 UTCI never really watched peep show but because I like you guys thought i would give it a go. Im still not sure. 🤔. But your reactions are priceless xx Only put milk in forst when you making tea in a tea pot x that would be my rule x
Dawn
2025-08-24 06:46:59 +0000 UTCexcellent episode.
Jamie
2025-08-24 06:44:59 +0000 UTCTHAT was the bad thing
Jamie
2025-08-24 06:44:46 +0000 UTCGenuine 😂😂
Steve Cox
2025-08-24 06:44:35 +0000 UTCYou always have to be the centre of attention don’t you Johnson
Erica
2025-08-24 06:43:14 +0000 UTCAhahahahaha, just finished watching and I was not disappointed by the end reaction
Dandelion
2025-08-24 06:38:15 +0000 UTCJeff was the guy at the very start of The Office who Brent got him a job as a forklift driver. He’s the guy who got made redundant at the end of season 1 who was going on about the difference between midgets, dwarves and elves. He’s also one of the best characters in Phoenix Nights when you get round to it ❤️
Emma Edwards
2025-08-24 06:35:02 +0000 UTCThe smug scouser is the guy being sacked in the Office where they start talking about Dwarves.
Jimmy
2025-08-24 06:27:23 +0000 UTCAlso milk first, shocking! Can’t believe I’ve never picked that up before
Frizz
2025-08-24 06:22:25 +0000 UTCMike, the place you've seen Jeff is in The Office - he's the guy David hires at the start of series 1, and makes redundant by the end of it!
Dan G, Leicester
2025-08-24 06:20:34 +0000 UTCThe mud makes me cringe every time
Austin GT
2025-08-24 06:16:03 +0000 UTCLove this show and love you guys! Best reactors out there :)
Frizz
2025-08-24 06:03:03 +0000 UTCSo I'm also watching Peep Show for the first time. Having just seen this episode, this reaction is gonna be a good 'un!
Captain Cardboard
2025-08-24 06:02:49 +0000 UTCI'm finally here :-) Let's watch the epic cringe
