I don’t even remotely know why it is nor agree with you at any level however at the same time i completely agree with you, that’s a spot on observation
Just in case people didn’t know the reference. This is a saying that’s said in Alcoholics Anonymous. I assume one of the writers is in AA as there are lots of little TidBITS from AA in Peep Show.
Supposed to take 30 minutes i'm done in 5, stick that up your dojo. The hilarity of a meditation practice being boiled down to a competition of who can finish quickest is prime character writing.
God how I love this character. And the thing is, I knew guys like Johnson. Arrogant, cocky, self-assured....ordinarily the kind of guy you'd want to throw down the elevator shaft after everyone had left the office...but there was something about him you just had to like.
Lol. I literally experienced this at my last job when we met our client's new team of financial consultants. Massive downsizing, cost cutting and re-branding, and then wondered why the business was failing faster than ever.
The way Johnson glides into the chair after doing Tai Chi gets me everytime....and the fact that he manages to to do 45 minutes of it in 10 minutes hahaha
Johnson's performance in the cark park on the milk crate should make any highlights package. If only because he forever changed the pronounciation of Fwonkfwort
I randomly heard "Fwonkfwort" in my head just now and I came here just to see it written. Thank you for your work! For me, Frankfurt will now forever be Fwonkfwort.

No they are characters that are brilliant as zany supporting characters but would be boring as leads. They both shine because of the contrast with the "normal blokes" Mark and Jez. Like how Jack Black was a brilliant support in High Fidelity but then his career doing the same thing as a lead has been shit.
@@NotQuiteFirst Yeah I agree. Both excellent chracters that you feel like just can't get enough of, but they need to be placed around a story, not drive it, bringing shock value alongside the more relatable characters.
"How can I trust you to be my main man in the office? Let alone Frankfurt!...Or *Aberdeen...?" "I've got to go to Aberdeen! I've got the Rough Guide!" The notion of Aberdeen being better than Frankfurt is hilarious enough, but the fact Mark genuinely believes it is even funnier xD
His delivery of the line "you are seriously looking at that document" is _incredible_
Lewis B kills me lol
Everything Johnson says.
Brilliant comic actor.
absolutely nailed it yes, great line
No it is not. I believe it. ;-)
Its the best line ever lol.
Him and super hans are the two best supporting characters in comedy
Spin off. Ive said it since 2007. A superhans/Johnson show would be the pearl beyond price.
Truest statement made.
No, Jeff is
Kev from Derek can’t be overlooked either.
Agreed!!+
When he offers jez his own beer- peak Johnson
lol yeah, that marked me
Power move
I'm not going to bargain with you Jeremy.
My name is Alan Johnson and I condone this message.
Peep Show excellent😂
Liar
whoever posted this comment is a proper milk monitor
Yeah, you condone Big Suze as well. 😂
haha awesome
The mug handle smash is one of the finest pieces of acting in television history
Johnson > any actor that is or ever will be
Glad someone else pointed that out
Whats the story there?
@@johncoryell Sophie smashed Mark's mug.
I don’t even remotely know why it is nor agree with you at any level however at the same time i completely agree with you, that’s a spot on observation
Johnson killed every scene he was in, amazing character
Poor me, Poor me...pour me another drink.
Just in case people didn’t know the reference. This is a saying that’s said in Alcoholics Anonymous. I assume one of the writers is in AA as there are lots of little TidBITS from AA in Peep Show.
That killed me.
Daddy's hat's fallen off
I judge your price to be £530.
It's the precision.
Fivehundredandthirtypounds
Just enough for a zoot suit
@@MaRaX93 I'm always talking about the twins.
@@nottheguardian7955 I don't think you've ever previously mentioned the twins
@@James-ex9ms It's actually worse than that. Mark does that really pained English thing, "I'm *pretty certain* you've never mentioned the twins".😄
That moment where you're so turned on by verbal abuse from your boss that you question your sexuality.
“ I’ve got a 32 Plasma in mine.... you get a document on that baby and you are seriously looking at that document.”
And look how dated plasma is now. He was no futurist
"We just need them sweating facts and shitting stats" is one of my favourite quotes from Johnson
Him powering through' tai chi, is absolute genius
The way he floats to the end lmao
The way Johnson smashed the handle off Sophie's mug made it look like an art form.
The hints of American in his voice just make him the coolest guy ever
And then German, after he gets back from Fwonkfort
Is he the best comedy supporting character ever? I'm thinkin maybe
Erdingtons Finest what about Superhans???
@@adamdesalle6338 Superhans and Johnson are both my favourites. They are essentially the models of what Jeremy and Mark would ideally like to be.
Him and Hans for sure
Also the rental snake
Nothing beats super hans
Johnson's eulogy at Gerrard's funeral nearly caused me to rupture an organ, how is that not in this vid?? 😂😂
Was cut out in the edit. The scythe is remorseless. I hope the scythe’s remorseless swing can bring some comfort to you
That initial skip up to the altar had me primed 💀
ive never seen this. but i am in love with alan johnson.
Blue Luny Ano listen to his voice
Don't be alarmed, Mark. It's just Tai Chi.
I love how he glides in to the chair.
I always liked the randomness of Johnson doing Tai Chi that one time and that one time only.
Supposed to take 30 minutes i'm done in 5, stick that up your dojo. The hilarity of a meditation practice being boiled down to a competition of who can finish quickest is prime character writing.
"fire 30% of the workforce and design a new logo" - this is alarmingly accurate in my experience
"Do you think the guys that invented Google sat around watching Trumpton?"
Bwahahahaha!
Thats a mighty fine piece of real estate you got there
Clapton and chill hahahahahhaah
He was an inspired piece of casting!
Absolutely
@@sirwizalot7164 meaning what?
Ain't no borderline about it
@multigrooves Jackie Chiles.
@@mellowords Although Jackie Chiles is obviously a a parody of Johnnie Cochran, I agree, his demeanour and delivery is reminiscent of Johnson.
The amount of times this guy actually had me in tears. Brilliant.
When the actor and the script are 100% synced. You get this perfection.
There will never be a show like this again.
God how I love this character. And the thing is, I knew guys like Johnson. Arrogant, cocky, self-assured....ordinarily the kind of guy you'd want to throw down the elevator shaft after everyone had left the office...but there was something about him you just had to like.
Only a pi--? It's _never_ only a pint.
"Nice place, here, have a drink"
“Good old semi incomprehensible taboo busting pep talk”
i hope the scythe’s remorseless swing can bring some comfort to you all.
Johnson voice is like when you click 1.5x on a voice note on WhatsApp
In... fire 30% of the workforce, change the logo... and out.
This is true.
From years of listening to my dad complain about every new round of management consultants at their company - yes, painfully accurate.
4:47 Yup I've seen management consultants in real businesses, this pretty much nails it.
That's capitalism for ya
Lol. I literally experienced this at my last job when we met our client's new team of financial consultants. Massive downsizing, cost cutting and re-branding, and then wondered why the business was failing faster than ever.
New logo, booooom!
The way Johnson glides into the chair after doing Tai Chi gets me everytime....and the fact that he manages to to do 45 minutes of it in 10 minutes hahaha
Under-rated actor, possibly the best casting ever!
Second
Alan Johnson... I'm in love
I think he's the one...!?
@@sb_dunk Ha ha. Biz Suze was definitely the one!!!!
Johnson's performance in the cark park on the milk crate should make any highlights package. If only because he forever changed the pronounciation of Fwonkfwort
This
I randomly heard "Fwonkfwort" in my head just now and I came here just to see it written. Thank you for your work!
For me, Frankfurt will now forever be Fwonkfwort.
My favourite Peep show character. I like the episode where he rescues mark locked in his own bedroom desperate for a shit 😂😂
"I'm the face. You're the tendons and the grisly shit underneath."
How he says “£530” cracks me up every time 😂
07:25
You will not be informed of the meaning of project Zeus until the time is right for you to know the meaning of project Zeus.....
*pauses a few seconds for dramatic effect*
Ok, now is the time for you to know the meaning of project Zeus
Brilliant character. Not just what he says, how he says.
Johnson is such a good character. I’ve never seen anything like him
Johnson may have been a con man, but he was just so damned charasmatic & likable. One of my favorite characters on the show
That's kind of the definition of a con man. Someone who uses charisma and charm to manipulate and con people.
I just love the way he says "I'm not going to bargain with you Jeremy"
"We are kindred spirits like George W. and Alaister Campbell we wanna it all and we wanna now" 😂😂😂
"The question is, Can you put the lid on the squid?" One of my favourite Johnson lines
Patterson Joseph, the best Dr Who we never had.
£530 is such a hilariously exact amount to come up with
I'm not gonna bargain with you Jeremy
I don't like talking to them, I don't like listening to them, but I do like some of the things they do. Truer words have never been spoken.
You will not be informed of the meaning of Project Zeus until the time is right for you to know the meaning of Project Zeus.
every scene he was in just comedy gold
The Marquis De Carabas was finding the transition to London Above easier than he'd anticipated
Always got time for a Neverwhere reference
Surely you mean Simon who is from Somerset.
Lol one of the best comedy characters ever created and so well executed. Fucking love johnson
remember when your facing johnson....." just smile and nod like your gaddafi,s psychiatrist "...lol
Johnson is daddy
D-d-daddio
He's so good it makes me uncomfortable
I cannot believe Paterson Joseph was not up for Dr Who. He is the perfect blend of cool and weirdness
That Tai Chi scene is gold
The way he glides over to the seat when he is done, subtle but hilarious 😂
Why?
Because I'm the big man and you're the shit heel right. - Alan Johnson
Brilliant...that is just so spot on. - Mark
Everything this guy says is funny legend
I was just reading my signed copy of Business Secrets of The Pharaohs and then this just drops down in my feed... what are the odds
Chance would be a fine thing...
I forgot Johnson had hair at one point, always thought that he was born completely bald with the moustache.
I love his creepy relationship with Johnson
It just feels like a good pair of jeans
Johnson seems like the kind of guy who wins on Numberwang constantly
That bell means it's time for WangerNumb - let's rotate the board!
"Show me a good loser, and I'll show you a loser"
- "and if we fail, well, you're the junior guy, you take the bullet" -
- "Christ" -
- ""exactly"
so good
"or Aberdeen" brilliant stuff
I dream of one day entering someone’s room and offering them their own drink as smoothly as our Lord Alan
6:35 Johnson is drinking a pint...
Even the mighty Johnson can’t keep the lid on the squid.
I can’t believe I let this happen on my watch
This man is the reason why I have a BMW 5 Series.
Mr Cool he’s not the one he sucked iff
Lol 👍🏾👌🏾
Gotta get them leather driving gloves and a scarf to complete the look
I -want- *need* a TV show about Alan and Super Hans teaming up to take over the world.
Yes that would be awesome !! Super Hans on crack and Johnson giving it the biggen
No they are characters that are brilliant as zany supporting characters but would be boring as leads. They both shine because of the contrast with the "normal blokes" Mark and Jez. Like how Jack Black was a brilliant support in High Fidelity but then his career doing the same thing as a lead has been shit.

Alan's pyjamas...probably still warm....

"How can I trust you to be my main man in the office? Let alone Frankfurt!...Or *Aberdeen...?"
"I've got to go to Aberdeen! I've got the Rough Guide!"
The notion of Aberdeen being better than Frankfurt is hilarious enough, but the fact Mark genuinely believes it is even funnier xD
probably my fave character
this guy should be the new james bond
"That's a fine piece of real estate you have there"
😂😂😂😂
Look at her arse. Is that the best arse you're ever gonna get?
You're reading all the comments down below silently, but in your head, you're using Alan's voice.
"Just us, pile of Chinese food and a couple of fuck off spreadsheets"
Fckn great show, only found it in 2020
During the lock down?
Keith P yup 👍
And you'll be enjoying it in 2040. Gets better and better over time.
Johnson and Super Hans were hands down the two best supporting characters on Peep Show.
Peep show is the cruelest comedy ever. It's totally painful to watch. Johnson leaves in a council estate after all the golden boy attitude. Priceless.
I'm so sorry about your mug Mark
Alan Johnson. I’m in love. 🥰
Forgot how fucking tremendous this guy is. What an actor!
Imagine johnson as a kid. He’d bring a briefcase to class
Every man has his price, and I judge yours to be....
_Five hundred and thirty pounds?_
Missed out on the 3 amigos PowerPoint, excel and word!
9:00 this. I'll say this to anyone.
I just powered through your comment...
Here, have a drink.
He'll hug your pain away Mark.
Holy Johnson!
Best actor in the whole peep show series
The scene where he catches mark having diorreah on the toilet is best
Johnson is more unpredictable than Super Hans
9:12
My god his delivery and personalised pronunciations are glorious to harken
I heard about the rumours but I couldn’t believe it
