So I set up the episode kicked back and started to watch and it turns out I had a WHOLE lot of questions for Remee and you Brits Michelle Rennex / BuzzFeed 1 FIRSTLY WHERE IS THIS INTRO SONG FROM BECAUSE I VE SPENT FIVE MINUTES TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT Channel 4 / BuzzFeed Remee: Ok I actually don't know where this song is from either but isn't it catchy? Not in an mmm-boopity-boop-boop-Taylor-Swift way. Catchy in a British way. Depressing. 2 Who do these people look the same and why is this not a nude game show like the title suggests Tap to play GIF Tap to play GIF Channel 4 / BuzzFeed Remee: This show should really be called "Awkward White People". More accurate and no expectations for something sexy. This show is anything but sexy. 3 Wait Mark as in is this THE Well Hitler promised not to invade Czechoslovakia Jeremy Mark Channel 4 Channel 4 Remee: I'm glad Mark has some level of notoriety where you are, because the world needs to be appreciate what a true icon he is. He's like that weird uncle everyone has, a total fucking embarrassment most of the time, but yet wise in so many ways. 4 What would you know about love and happiness Damn Is all British humour this dry and dark If so I m here for it Tap to play GIF Tap to play GIF Channel 4 / BuzzFeed Remee: The whole reason this show is funny is because Mark and Jez are AWFUL people who are awful to each other, and that's how we do shit in the good ol' UK. Imagine how crap everything would be if you went round saying nice things to your mates like "Oh you look nice today!" instead of "Why are you dressed like a fucking twat?" It would be rubbish. 5 Wait are they about to have a threesome IS THIS WHAT BRITISH PORN IS LIKE Tap to play GIF Tap to play GIF Channel 4 / BuzzFeed Remee: I mean, I know nothing about British porn. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. AND IF I DID KNOW SOMETHING (and I'm NOT saying I do), IF I DID, then yeah it probably is like this tbh. Just three very average-looking people awkwardly touching each other up with their clothes still on. Also, if you're frightened already just you WAIT until the end of this episode, this is JUST the warm-up. 6 Is that Jeremy s formal wear Is that normal formal wear for you lot Because that s literally what my dad wears to work Channel 4 @memesuper Remee: Ok first of all, THIS IS MARK. Jeremy is the one that wears slogan T-shirts and lots of camouflage and sometimes silk kimono robes. Secondly, Mark is basically Jeremy's dad anyway, so yeah, his dad attire makes complete sense. And this isn't his FORMAL wear, it's his EVERYDAY wear. What do you expect from a man who works at a..wait what does Mark even do? Something fucking boring, anyway. Besides, it's cold and wet in Croydon, you live there long enough even you would start wearing a nice sensible V-neck jumper from M&S. 7 Also are you guys just born with an immunity to these hella jumpy camera angles Because my head HURTS from all this shaking Tap to play GIF Tap to play GIF Channel 4 / BuzzFeed Remee: The camera angles are exactly why this dancing scene is so fucking tragic. You feel like you're actually there, dancing like a twat with loads of other twats. It's all so cringe-worthy you want to die, and that's what makes it funny, that's the fun bit Michelle! 8 Wait what They re suddenly having sex I guess Jeremy isn t that awkward after all if he can go from dad dancing to fucking in one minute is this ~normal~ viewing for y all @memecreator Tap to play GIF Tap to play GIF Channel 4 Remee: Mate, this is the only kind of viewing for us. Besides, this is actually tame for Jez and Nancy, trust me. Things get a lot worse. A lot worse. 9 HANG ON WHAT A WASTE OF YOGURT I get that our Aussie dollar is pretty shit compared to the pound but damn Surely that s an expensive way to spice things up in the bedroom right Channel 4 / BuzzFeed Remee: I'm not condoning the frankly sacrilegious use of some nice Müller yoghurt here, but I mean, he WAS having sex and sex IS Jeremy's job. He's a sexer. Weren't you listening??? 10 Oh god What did they do with Mark s toothbrush WHAT COULD THEY HAVE DONE WITH IT Channel 4 / BuzzFeed @knowyourmeme / BuzzFeed Remee: I think we all know what they did with the toothbrush. And this is why everyone should just live alone. So you can stick whatever you want up your own bumhole. 11 Hold on Was that blonde girl Jeremy s girlfriend before dance class If not that was VERY quick progression That is not like us at ALL Channel 4 / BuzzFeed Remee: This isn't like us either BUT this is Nancy and she’s American, so she’s a lot less inhibited and loves wild sex things but also believes in Jesus –which is what British people think Americans are like. 12 Hang on they re skinny dipping In BRITAIN How are they not dead I don t think they d even do this in Neighbours Tap to play GIF Tap to play GIF Channel 4 / BuzzFeed Remee: People like to think us Brits are prudes but the truth is, you ply us with enough alcohol and we'll probably do anything. Although I'm not sure they were drinking before this, which means they were probably on drugs. 13 FUCK OFF FUCK OFF FUCK OFF Is it safe to assume that everyone in the UK is pretty much just like Gordon Ramsay then Tap to play GIF Tap to play GIF Channel 4 Tap to play GIF Tap to play GIF FOX Remee: Fuck off. 14 OH MY GOD NO WHY ARE JEREMY AND MARK KISSING Tap to play GIF Tap to play GIF Channel 4 Remee: HAHAHAHAHHAHAAHA BECAUSE WE'RE FUCKED UP. 15 So this is a full-blown orgy I m watching this full-screen in front of a glass wall and people walking past can see it Is there room in the UK for me to fly over and hide for the rest of my life Tap to play GIF Tap to play GIF Channel 4 @knowyourmeme Remee: Welcome to the best of UK comedy my dear friend: Awkward, difficult to watch, and completely humiliating. I'm sending you the boxset right now, but in the meantime, here's an actual naked gameshow you and the rest of Australia should check out...
