[TheMunchfan]

Mistah Lova Lova!

[adamfortune]

he's a nice guy, even though he looks a bit like an anorexic leo sayer.

[PeteLewis1917]

I love the way Jim Duggen laughs when she says 'I'm sweatin' like a fat lass'

[bennythebearful]

Just by far the funniest show ever on earth TV.

[JudgeMazza]

"my to-do list is longer than a big willy"

[BlueThunderFlik]

"Malcolm, how's it hanging?"

"Like the gardens of Babylon."

That is beautiful writing.

[DrunkRussian2]

@BlueThunderFlik It'd be even better if it was part of the improvised stuff.

[mrleedra]

@0:13 It's only after watching this episode five or six times that I noticed how funny Tucker's greeeting is.

[looseneck]

@mrleedra Glenn you mean.

[mrleedra]

@looseneck I was referring to Tucker's sarcastic "hello" to Nicola.

[Bootstrap193]

ollie is so mean to glen :(

[FionaBoosh]

Oh, God I am sweatin' like a fat lass.

[CreditDue52]

Sidekick Simon, Sidekick Simon, Sieg Heil, Sieg Heil!

[JayWalkerke]

the face ollie makes when malcolm mentions mandela is priceless

[FinnSpencer141]

Love how none of these videos have a dislike!! GOOD SHIT

[PopaNo1Z]

Malcolm's rant about blogs = top notch.

[jacktindale]

See, the sweetest thing here is the "tiny kettle" routine at the start, it keeps it fairly realistic.

[rmccaw7]

8:06 AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH­!!!!!!!!!!



[faybela]

hahahaha anorexic leo sayer

[pdj8484]

Duggan at 8:08 makes me chuckle every time

[FinnSolomon]

John Duggan is an absolute fucking Baldrick/Ralph Wiggum/Dan Quayle.

[woodhd]

thats a duggan promise

[sweenyadam]

I love The Thick of It. It's just Yes, Minister & Yes, Prime Minister for the 21st Century! Question: in the show they never say which political party Malcolm Tucker represents. Anyone hazard a guess?

[radiooctaves]

@sweenyadam It has to be Labour, surely?

[romeosdistress]

@radiooctaves @sweenyadam - yeah, it's Labour - The Thick of It's actually a genuine satirical representation of then contemporary politics - the PM 'Tom' is supposed to be Gordon Brown, and Malcolm Tucker is an Alistair Campbell spoof. They're bringing out a 4th series, with the Lib Dems in it too, sometime soon

[woodhd]

john duggans a classic comedy character

[mrleedra]

I thought the "latte husband" joke was pretty clever, actually.

[Zetapimpkin]

"Like the gardens of Babylon"... I shall have to use that.

[kerhk]

new series next year!!

[woodhd]

im in love with angela heaney

[ajaggard]

"I think we should use the carrot and stick approach. Take a carrot, and stick it up his fucking arse, followed by the stick, followed by anything bigger, rougher"

[ellandeire21]

"sour, power vinegar-tits" i can't believe i'm only watching this now.

[jacderida]

"I know he looks a bit like an anorexic Leo Sayer there" - fucking EL OH EL!

[belisariusorb]

Promising news about a US version:

"In November 2010, it was announced that HBO had ordered a pilot for a new series called Veep, to be written, directed and produced by Iannucci. The pilot will star Julia Louis-Dreyfus in the leading role as vice president of the U.S." Wikipedia

[sumeyye910]

i love it when ollie talks street!!

[gruffannie1]

I think we should use the Carrot and Stick approach !!!!!

[gofikinn999]

Is ollie really that young in the series? i got more of a midtwenties immature arrogant little twat who ultimatly has a decent heart surrounded by layers of sarcasm and eccentric wit.

Otherwise I agree with you, the relationship is fantastic. At each others throats most of the time, but during the catastrophes they defend one another.

[2009worstyearever]

@gofikinn999 in Series 1 he briefly mentions he has a PhD. So minimum 26-27?

[oooooooooorly]

The chemistry between Ollie and Glenn is so incredibly well done in this series. It's just such an incongruous combination - the twenty-year old cheeky little shit and the hopeless old man, but it works perfectly.

[Airhead4321]

anyone else notice that both the annoying woman with the latte husband and teri were in the movie Stardust? film buffs will enjoy this: stardust is another word for cocaine.

[TheConciseStatement]

Is there any way to, say, reach through the screen and slit John Duggan's throat?

[BATalsdr]

Sorry about your loss... o-of your husband...in the-in the collapse.. of tha-of tha.. of that cafe.

[ayatollahrocknrolla]

"Well I don't know, Google goolies!"

[crake2]

8:07 John's reaction is hilarious!

[b0b1919]

fucking lol at John Duggen's reaction to the 'sweating like a fat lass' remark. Never noticed that before

[fantana124]

Miles Jupp- definitely in the top 3 cameos in this series!

[Thatsthebadger1]

"We're like dick and dom, good chemistry" "yeah except known of you are Dom's" vintage.

[santana26491]

What is it Glenn tries to hide at 1.19?

[b0b1919]

The little chef seven. Today's special...crumble

[5huttgun]

he'a bout as useful as a chocolate tea pot, probably shouldnt sayt hat it sounds a bit racist

[browncello]

"Mrs. Sourpowervinegartits sucking on a lemon."

[robiluvspandas]

"...tell me"

hahahah glen is such a twat

[TKDGSA]

Carrot and stick...EPIC

[maudievort]

google goolies

[zatoichi12345]

lets try the carrot and the stick approach...

great malcolm quote.

[codeinestation]

has anyone noticed how Sam is the only person Malcolm seems to have any respect for..?

[StreghetteXXX]

too good for words. brilliant, hahaha!

[belisariusorb]

Ollie is a lovely guy, he'll look after you...

[frood19]

"the only thing john duggan is doing here is depriving some village of a twat"

fucking gold. amazing.

[Pumiceous]

I'm not sure whether I'm on Julie's side or not. She's horrible.

[DogDogCatDog]

@Pumiceous Why is she? Just curious.

[Pumiceous]

@DogDogCatDog She isn't sympathetically portrayed. Hotheaded, sweary and rude. Same as the politicians.
