Mark's dad is one of the most important characters of Peep Show, even though we hardly get to see him. He is clearly the main source of Mark's psychological trauma growing up and that is huge part of why Mark has become the person he is. There are a lot of nasty characters in Peep Show but I think Mark's dad is truly the biggest villain out of all of them. He is one seriously nasty piece of work.
Totally agree, and for that reason I didn't utterly like this episode. I felt like his Dad couldn't live up to the mental image the viewers had already built up of him through out the previous episodes. He should have been a Maris character IMO.
yeah true, although a lot of typical english fat blokes who are socially awkward and introverted would be very much like Mark even without the neurosis inducing father
Funny, because In The Bleak Midwinter, which happens to be playing also has a use in Peaky Blinders of undercutting tragedy as it happens or is about to happen
This episode was PERFECT. Not only funny because it reflects true experiences and feelings but also because... it EXPLAINS HOW MARK CORRIGAN BECAME MARK CORRIGAN.
the show is very clever at showing how unable people are at breaking their own conditioning, even when self-aware as Mark shows much of the time. modern human experience in it's tragic yet comedic glory.
I feel like in that moment, he's caught between "Strangle my son to death in front of his own mother" and "Maintain standing with my local community association" and both urges are exactly equal. Therefore, he sits there paralysed.
@@philbecker4676 There are plenty of stories of directors surprising actors with things that weren't included in rehearsals to get genuine emotion in the take.
@@richarddunne9802 I'd be surprised. From what I've seen in interviews they don't like improvising because any change is over complicated by the filming technique, so continuity is an issue 🤷♀️
@@richarddunne9802 Also the scene wouldn't have even been funny if Mark's dad hadn't screamed "Cauliflower is traditional". It would be such a weird looking exchange if he was just talking normally 🤣
With such a horrible, tyrannical bully for a father, its amazing Mark turned out as well as he did! Can you imagine what being raised by somebody like that must do to you?
God, Mark’s father is terrifying. For all the over-the-top jerks and weirdos on the show, he’s got to be the most realistic. We may not all have a Superhans in our life, but I’m sure we all know a miserable bastard like Mark’s father. This was an incredibly uncomfortable episode, even by Peep Show standards.
how about pictionary after what? i guess she says lunch but pornounces the word "lunch" very strangely, can anyone explain what's going on there please?
I agree. This, next to the conference episode, was the most painful. This one even more so. All of the stories about Mark's family end up being much more dreadful with the subjects in person.
I love how even Super Hans, who styles himself as a proper mad bastard, is looking at the floor too scared to say anything when Mark's dad goes off.
Because Marks dad is terrifying
He also styles himself as a proper musician but never really made much progress there.

I love super hans in this episode. And in my opinion this is one of the best "Christmas specials" of a tv show.
Ello christmas smoothie
He only says one line in this scene and it absolutely kills me hahah
Cheers
"Think what it's doing to the mechanism"
Probably my favourite line in the whole show. Has me in tears every time :D
😂😂😂
What
I do also like "You're not a pedo, you're definitely not a pedo"
This and minimal water damage
What about you're like a life support machine but instead of giving life you suck it all out of people or p!ss yourself , stop p!ssing yourself lol
I love the fact that Mark's dad doesn't even move while Mark fills the shredder. "Somebody stop him, he's gone totally mad!"
I feel like in that moment, he's caught between "Strangle my son to death in front of his own mother" and "Maintain standing with my local community association" and both urges are exactly equal. Therefore, he sits there paralysed.
Aw. Look how happy Sarah got when Mark told her to break out the pictionary.
Low key one of my favourite moments in the episode. She was so dejected before!
That's ticketty boo
So frustrating that Mark grows a backbone AFTER Dobby leaves
“ello....Christmas smoothie..”
Super Hans gets all the best lines
2:29 , the way he sees mechanism 🤣. Probably my favourite line from the show along with Christmas smoothie
That "Christmas Smoothie" line is so perfectly delivered and written. Its just so..Super Hans
Super Hans being here cracks me up for some reason, just look at him when all the drama is going down lol
0:49 Jez angrily eating his food cracks me up
'Think about what it's doing to the mechanism Mark'
"god, look at him, he probably thinks father Christmas died for our sins" oh my fucking lmao
"We're not playing Pictionary. It's a made up game" is genius.
To be fair, it is a made up game
@@zapkvr isn't every game made up? 😅
He’s so definitive about it
"somebody stop him he's gone totally mad!"
Jez: * siiiip *
Jez's face at 2:37 is one of the best parts of this scene.
Jez's face at 0:49 is my favourite thing ever
And this is probably Mark's dad on his best behaviour. Let that one sink in.
"Merry Christ-Mark!"
Who approved this?
A Genius!
I love the way they all jump when he shouts 'Cauliflower...' Makes me wonder if the director didn't tell them it was coming.
I doubt it considering how much these things are rehearsed.

my stepfather's exactly like him, cold, unemotive, mean-spirited, completely devoid of love.
Sarah looks so happy at the prospect of playing Pictionary.
Happy endings are SO rare in Peep Show I actually get a little teary eyed at this one 🤣
I like how he looks at Jeremy for some answers as to what to do
"Of course I don't believe in Jesus, but I do believe in Christmas"
The actor playing Marks dad had me in laughter every second he was on screen.

that makes you an utter legend and, for that, we salute you
why didnt he think about the frickin mechanism?
'think what it's doing to the mechanism' he's someone's dad alright
Dobby’s the only character in the entire run who has any morals or backbone - no wonder she ends up well on the way to nihilism.
Absolutely, she has actual integrity and also the keen awareness to get out of the El dude brothers’ mad sphere of influence before it’s too late
God that’s almost unbearable awkwardness and discomfort when Marks dad blows up in the middle of Christmas dinner over cauliflower lol
“We’re not playing Pictionary, its a made up game” - arent they all Father Corrigan?
The way jez eats his brussel says everything...
Jeremy's face is priceless
It's funny because it's true and you've gotta laugh or else you cry.
0:05 best bit 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love how Mark compares the dinner to Festen lmao
Best bit is Jez reaching for the wine when Mark is shredding 😆
Just came to say on Christmas Day, cauliflower is traditional.
"Cauliflower is traditional!"
This would have been the perfect opportunity for Mark to be the man in front of Dobby by telling his dad where he can shove his cauliflower.
Chrismark just isn't Christmark without watching this episode.
oh, that poor mechanism :(
Really good acting from Mark's mum, she looks TERRIFIED when her husband starts shouting
Somebody stop him he's gone totally mad.
I'm sitting here drunk as a skunk watching mark pour the gravy into the shredder .. this is a wholesome experience i can promise you
Mark. THINK WHAT ITS DOING TO THE MECHANISM
Dan wearing his christmas hat the entire time always cracks me up
The most miserable bastatd in the world wearing the festive hat was a great bit of irony
Hello. Christmas smoothie.
There are a lot of things that I never thought I’d hear in my lifetime, but David Mitchell saying “ratatouille” was one of them
Imagine getting this heated over cauliflower, one of the least good vegetables
Best show ever.
Dobbie's gone. They've all gone.
Clive Merrison - absolute genius in this
This is what Christmas looks like without kids 🤣
Super Hans looks adorable in a bib 😂
how about pictionary after what? i guess she says lunch but pornounces the word "lunch" very strangely, can anyone explain what's going on there please?
Brilliant stuff..
Merry Christmas peepshow peeps!
As an American can someone please tell me if cauliflower is traditional? Please
CAULIFLOWER IS TRADITIONAL
Hakuna Matata! I’m the new Lion King!
Is it me or is Mark's sister an absolutely gorgeous woman?
Like how dad say he's gonna make cauliflower, yeah like it grows from his arse yum fresh lol.
Mark's Dad stuffs Christmas Dinner and not the turkey
To be fair, cauliflower is traditional! haha
CAULIFLOWER IS NOT TRADITIONAL
What's the background song?
I liked this episode, but I thought Mark's dad was funnier as a 'Godot' type character who was never seen.
I agree. This, next to the conference episode, was the most painful. This one even more so. All of the stories about Mark's family end up being much more dreadful with the subjects in person.
That's Pedge's role though.

mark told dobby not to come, she came anyway because obviously mark doesn't know his own family, and then shit hits the fan and she gets pissed off
