Sorting out my DVD's now ive moved back home and i came accross my Coupling boxset.

I forgot how funny this show is, a lot of people would associate it as a British Friends - however the comedy isnt exactly the same. Its extremely well directed aswell, especially some episodes where they have "crossing stories"

Some of the speeches, and quotes are so good.

You’ve never understood about bottoms, Jane. Having a bottom is like living with the enemy. Not only do they spend their lives slowly inflating, they flirt with men while we’re looking the other way.

Sally: Mary Kelly thinks you’re a complete idiot.
Patrick: Then why does she keep looking at my arse when we’re talking?
Sally: She’s lip-reading.

Rule one of playing it cool... only smile at her face.

I need breasts with brains. I don’t mean individual brains, obviously... I mean, not a brain each. You know, I like intelligent women, but you’ve got to draw the line somewhere... I think breast brains would be over-egging the woman pudding.

Anyone else like it?
 
Liked it a lot until the last series when they replaced Jeff with that other guy, but it was still pretty funny. Have series 1 to 3 on DVD, need to pick up the 4th at some stage.

Oh and Sarah Alexander is pretty nice too!

Was just about to start watching through the DVDs again myself actually.

I've lent them to my mate atm, but ill nab the 4th season back - ill drop you a mail when ive got it.

"Jeff how well do you know that Steve guy"

"how well? we're porn buddies!"

"...is that code?"

"no no, if Steve ever died - id go to his house and clear out the porn before his parents got round"

"you guys have actually made arrangements to destroy porn evidence? do you keep them?"

"..well it is one of the perks!"

Thanks mate, that's brilliant!

Gonna need to start watching the first 3 series again then.
 
Watching through the first episode at the moment, its so damn funny.

Jeff is an absoloute legend...

"go away jeff, what do i have to do show you a breast.."

"...ok"
 
love it, best thing in a while

the women with 2 breasts was a good episode

where they talk about if one breast doesnt like the other, they come up with " WOBBLE WARS" rofl
 
Giggle loop was exceptionally funny, as was the sock gap :D

Babu! Babu babu babu babu babu!

:D:D
 
The thing is, Jeff lives inside every bloke.

When hes talking about foreplay - and is like "you have to take it seriously, you could end up a naked man stuck in socks.."
 
"Can I get you anything?

Jane: I think I'm fine actually.

"Anything at all?"

Jane: What have you got?

"Four biscuits and an apple."

Jane: Oh

"I've owned the apple for awhile it's probably still broadly feasible but I wouldn't want to talk it up."

Jane: I'm fine really.

"It's very easy to miss the apple window, isn't it? I get very tense around apples."

Jane: You do?

"Well I get very tense in general. I think I've fallen into the trap of blaming fruit.

"I had this really weird dream about Julia just last night"

Jane: Well dreams are very important Jeffrey.

"We were roaming the African plains together, wild and free. She was a lioness leaping from tree to tree and biting gazelles. And Joe was a lion form a rival pride and he was trying to steal her away from me. And I was an otter. Which made things quite difficult in the combat zone. Anyway, Joe and Julia ran off together and I tried to chase after them but it was really hard cos there were no rivers running that way. The African plains are really under rivered pursuit-wise and then just as I was about to catch up with them by this unexpected, marina...there was this terrible roar, my mother sprung from the undergrowth, scooped me up in her jaws and carried me back to the pride.

Jane: So your mother was a lion too?

"No."

Jeff Murdock.. Legend.
 
Coupling is great. I think both men and women can relate to stuff the characters do and say. Naturally I can relate to Jeff the most. I remember the bit where he was talking about holiday with his parents when he was a kid. "You're rocking the caravan Jefferey!" Couldn't breathe I was laughing so hard.
 
i love it when he tries to pull that foreign bird, and she thinks he collects ears.!

Susan - "i called him donkey"

Sally - "what, you mean"

Susan - "some men are born very lucky, very lucky"

Sally - "what was patrick born"

Susan - "a tripod"


and Jeff

"when you get to her house, check out her remotes... you know like for her stereo and tv etc.."
 
best episode ever


brucies bar and grill


or what about this classic quote

The Wisdom of Jeff: "Porn-wise, lesbians are like a jam sandwich, without the sandwich and just the jam. Fact, lesbians are just a big blob of jam. Well, not actually. Unless they've exploded in all the lesbonic excitement."

The Wisdom of Jeff: "All of us in our time are visited by the Melty Man... Don’t say his name, Patrick. Don’t even think his name, or he will rise from the shadow dimensions to do his evil work inside your terrified pants."

what about the man with two legs, where he tells her he has a wooden leg

The Wisdom of Jeff: "This is the curse of Jeff Murdock. I meet the woman of my dreams and I can’t take my trousers off."

The Wisdom of Jeff: "Steve, it’s a bad idea to actually count women’s breasts. The whole bus stares at you."
 
the giggleloop was hilarious as was when he met Mariella Frostrup and couldn't remember Susan's name. He says this is '.....' and she looks furious and says Seeewwwwwwwsannnnn!

rofl. Great show. Very underrated. Love the one with the foreign girl who couldn't understand a world Jeff was saying :D
