Clip 1 S02 E01 |
Men can struggle discussing intimate issues with female health professionals. Which is ridiculous when you think about it. Usually. But not in this case. |
Chemist |
Hello. |
Man |
Ah, erm, hello. Is there a... a man chemist I could see, please? |
Chemist |
Oh, no, he's not here today. But don't be embarrassed just ask me what you would have asked him. |
Man |
Really? |
Chemist |
Yeah, yeah, honestly. |
Man |
Oh, okay, er... excuse me, mate, do you know that fit chemist bird that works here? Are you her boyfriend? Is she seeing anyone? Have you got her number? Does she do it? |
Chemist |
Ahh, I see. |
Man |
Er, er... got anything for hay fever? |
Chemist |
Yeah. |
Man |
[Whispers] |
Oh, god. |
Clip 2 S02 E01 |
Role play in the bedroom can be fun. It can heighten things sexually. Or it can be a complete, unmitigated disaster. Behold... |
Boyfriend |
Ohhh. Hello, nurse. |
Jenny |
Hello, Mr. Johnson. I hear you're in need of some special treatment. |
Boyfriend |
Yes, yes, I am. |
Jenny |
Well, er, what seems to be the problem? |
Boyfriend |
Oh. Well, every time I see you nurse I get this... funny feeling in... in my balls. |
Jenny |
Mmm, well, I think I know what's wrong with you. |
Boyfriend |
You do? |
Jenny |
Mmm-hmm. You've got cancer. |
Boyfriend |
Is... is it naughty cancer? |
Jenny |
No, it's bowel cancer. |
Boyfriend |
Oh. |
Jenny |
Yeah, we have done some tests. It looks quite advanced. I wish I had some more positive news. |
Boyfriend |
Well, what if you... had a special cure for me? |
Jenny |
Oh, I am so sorry. |
Boyfriend |
May... maybe I've got another disease, like sexyitis. |
Jenny |
Mmm, no. You... you've got three to four months. |
Boyfriend |
Jenny, I... I don't think we should do role play anymore. |
Clip 3 S02 E01 |
Don't you just hate it when other parents attempt to psychoanalyse your children based on just one aspect of their behaviour? Don't you hate that? |
Woman |
Sorry, I... I couldn't help but notice, but, erm, is your son the one on his own? |
Parent |
Yeah, yeah, he does find it a bit difficult making friends. |
Woman |
It's a shame, isn't it? Because he'll probably never really fit in, will he? You know, doomed to be a loner. Socially isolated. Emotionally dysfunctional. As he gets older, he'll become bitter, resentful. "Why won't the world listen?!", he'll think. Then, one day, it'll all become too much... he finally snaps. |
[Imitates gun shots and then laughs] |
Or, you know... he's gonna be fine. |
Clip 4 S02 E01 |
Does this happen? Probably. I once knew a guy who mistook a bidet for a toilet so why not a sauna? Apart from the unbearable heat and... lack of a flush. |
Man 1 |
Morning. |
Man 2 |
Morning. |
Man 1 |
Nothing like a good sauna to get you going in the morning, is there? |
Man 2 |
Sauna? |
Man 1 |
Yeah. |
Man 2 |
That's not a toilet? |
Man 1 |
No. |
Man 2 |
Have a good sauna. |
Clip 5 S02 E01 |
Natasha is a police officer. Karen is her ridiculous flat-mate. And Karen can't help but play stupid practical jokes on Natasha at work. It's a daily thing. An obsession you might say. |
Natasha |
Hello, police. |
Karen |
[Adopting a deep voice] |
Hello, there's a burglary in progress on the White Leas Industrial Estate. Please hurry. |
Natasha |
Okay, sir. Er... can you tell me what they're taking? |
Karen |
Oh, gosh, just looking out the window now. Oh, look... it looks like they're stealing a lorry. It's a red lorry. |
Natasha |
Right, a red lorry. Right. |
Karen |
And, oh, oh, they're taking another one, it's a yellow one this time. |
Natasha |
Okay, a yellow lorry. |
Karen |
Blimey! |
Natasha |
What? |
Karen |
Blimey, they're taking another one. It's a red one. |
Natasha |
Okay, right. Can I... let me just make sure I've got this... this right. |
Karen |
You won't believe it, there's a yellow one behind. |
Natasha |
Sir, sir, up to now the vehicles taken are a red lorry, a yellow lorry, a red lor... oh, it's you, Karen! This is Karen, isn't it? Yes. Yes. |
Karen |
Oh. Come home, I'm bored. |
Natasha |
No, I can't, I'm at work, aren't I? |
Karen |
Yeah. |
Natasha |
Yeah. |
Karen |
Who's your best flatmate? |
Natasha |
Oh, it's got to be you, hasn't it? |
Karen |
Who's your best friend? |
Natasha |
Go away now, though. |
Karen |
Who's the prettiest person you've ever met? |
Natasha |
Leave me. |
Clip 6 S02 E02 |
It's Karen again, prank calling Natasha at work. You ever wonder why it takes so long to be connected to the police in an emergency? Well it's actually low-staffing levels and budget cuts but... |
Natasha |
Hello, police. |
Karen |
[Adopting a deep voice] |
Hello, there's a lady here, man, and she needs some help. |
Natasha |
Right, okay, could you find out the lady's name for me, please, sir? |
Karen |
No, I can't she's unconscious. But I've seen her around. She, uh... works on the beach I think. |
Natasha |
She works on the beach? |
Karen |
Yeah, er, she sells sea shells. |
Natasha |
Right, and that's on the beach, is it? |
Karen |
Well, to be honest with you, little lady, strictly it is on the seashore. |
Natasha |
Sorry, I didn't hear that, what did you say? |
Karen |
On the seashore. |
Natasha |
Okay. So this woman in question she sells seashells on the... Karen! Stop it! |
Karen |
[Laughs] |
Come home and get drunk with me. I've opened a bottle of wine. |
Natasha |
Very clever, well done. But I'm at work and it's two o'clock in the afternoon so I'm just gonna see you later. |
Karen |
I think you should come back now... |
Natasha |
Oh, ok, then. |
Karen |
Because you can pull a sickie because someone could cover you and then you could come back and we can, like, get really drunk and then we can go out and we can pull. And things. |
Natasha |
Right, this is genius. |
Karen |
Yeah! |
Natasha |
Yes, I will. I'll just... I'll go and do that now. |
Karen |
Oh, really? |
Natasha |
Yeah, bye. |
Karen |
Bye. Ahh, so exciting. |
Natasha |
Hello, police. |
Clip 7 S02 E02 |
Not all ladies like the taste of... chocolate. But when I say "chocolate", I don't mean chocolate. No. Not that either. I mean... the male... appendage. I give up. Just listen! |
Woman |
You know what I love? |
Man |
What? |
Woman |
The taste of c*ck. Mmm-hmm. |
[She begins going down on him under the covers] |
I love the way it looks, I love the colour. |
Man |
[Groans] |
Woman |
[Re-appearing and gagging] |
Yeah, erm... it's chocolate, uh... that I like. It's not c*ck at all. |
[Gags] |
It's chocolate. |
[Gags] |
I don't really think I like the taste of c*ck. |
Man |
Oh, ok. |
Woman |
But chocolate... |
Man |
Stop talk... stop talking now. |
Clip 8 S02 E03 |
Karen and Natasha again. The battle of wits and wills continues. Just what will Karen have thought up this time and why has she not been arrested for wasting police time yet? |
Natasha |
Hello, police. |
Karen |
Hello, I'd like to report an attempted crime, a crime actually. |
Natasha |
Okay. Would you be able to give me any details? |
Karen |
Sure, yah. Basically, I work at the race course and I found some old files in the office and I realised I've come across some very strong evidence that some of the races were being fixed. I got the name of two horses. |
Natasha |
Okay, madam, can you give me those names, please? |
Karen |
Yah, sure, absolutely. The first one was called One-One. |
Natasha |
One-One, right, okay. |
Karen |
And the second one, you wouldn't believe it, was called Two-Two. |
Natasha |
Two-Two. |
Karen |
Mmm. One-One was a race horse but also Two-Two was one too. |
Natasha |
Right, and when One-One won one race, Two-Two won one, too? |
Karen |
[Laughs] |
Natasha |
Hello, Karen. |
Karen |
Hello. |
Natasha |
Get a job. |
Karen |
I don't want a job. |
Natasha |
Oh, you're a grown woman, you spend your days doing funny phone calls. |
Karen |
[Mocking] |
You're a grown woman, you spend your days doing funny phone calls. |
Natasha |
That's good. Er, I'll see you later. |
Karen |
I hope so. |
Natasha |
Yes. |
Karen |
Ooh. Oh, god. |
Natasha |
What? |
Karen |
Something happened. |
Natasha |
What? |
Karen |
Your mum rang. |
Natasha |
Did you get a message? |
Karen |
I can't remember. |
Natasha |
Why would you remember? |
Karen |
Nah. |
Natasha |
I'm going now. |
Karen |
No. |
Natasha |
[Hangs up] |
Karen |
Ah. Bye! |
Natasha |
Hello, police. |
Clip 9 S02 E03 |
We're back to the adult role playing. And it's destined to fail just as the nurse scenario did. This one gets real dark, real quick. |
Boyfriend |
Ready when you are. |
Girlfriend |
Hello, Johnson. |
Boyfriend |
Hello... |
Girlfriend |
Headmistress. |
Boyfriend |
Hello, headmistress. I hope you've brought your cane. |
Girlfriend |
Mmm-hmm. Sit down, Johnson. |
[BOYFRIEND sits in a chair] |
Boyfriend |
[Groans] |
Girlfriend |
So do you know why you're here? |
Boyfriend |
Because I've been naughty. |
Girlfriend |
Oh, you've been very naughty. I saw you in the swimming pool changing room. |
Boyfriend |
You did? |
Girlfriend |
Mmm. In your tight... wet... trunks. Wa*king off Toby Granger from 3C. |
Boyfriend |
What? |
Girlfriend |
Yeah. Toby's parents have called and this isn't the first time that this has happened. Mmm? |
Boyfriend |
Want this. Ow. |
Girlfriend |
Like with Andy Myers. You were seen touching him. |
Boyfriend |
I don't think there's anything wrong with experimentation. |
Girlfriend |
With a five-year-old? |
Boyfriend |
Yeah, yeah, that's just wrong. |
Girlfriend |
So, what do you have to say for yourself? |
Boyfriend |
I... I don't think we should do role play anymore. |
Clip 10 S02 E03 |
Little Janey prefers playing with boys her age to playing with girls. Some girls are Tomboys. It doesn't necessarily mean what this woman suggests it means. Little Janey will, I'm sure, be fine. |
Woman |
Sorry, I couldn't help but notice your Janey seems to prefer playing with boys, doesn't she? |
Father |
Yeah, bit of a Tomboy, you know? |
Woman |
Yeah. Aww. Either that or ten years from now she's gonna be the town bike. Different boyfriend every night. Bit of a reputation. Then a few years later she can't pay the rent, the landlord comes round, "I can pay another way," she says. But that's it, she's crossed the line. Soon she's walking the streets, strung out on smack, jacking off old men for a tenner. "I need a fix. I'm hurting man, I need to shoot up. Eurgh. Eurgh." |
[Laughs] |
Or, you know, she's gonna be fine. |
[Laughs] |
Clip 11 S02 E04 |
Why does this couple insist on acting out scenarios in the bedroom when, without exception, it's always doomed to fail? She just can't get it right, can she? |
Jenny |
Hello, prisoner. |
Boyfriend |
Hello, Warden. |
Jenny |
I hope you're not gonna cause any trouble for me today. |
Boyfriend |
You know me. |
Jenny |
I do. I know you're a very naughty boy and I'm here to make sure you get punished. |
Boyfriend |
[Groans and snarls] |
Jenny |
Enjoying yourself, aren't you? |
Boyfriend |
This is the greatest meal I've ever eaten. |
Jenny |
It should be. It's gonna be your last. |
Boyfriend |
What? |
Jenny |
Yeah, the courts, they ruled against your appeal so you're going to the chair, my friend. |
Boyfriend |
Oh, the love chair, huh? |
Jenny |
No, the electric chair. Yee-ha! This paedo's gonna fry. |
Boyfriend |
Hey, don't say paedo. I'm not a paedo. |
Jenny |
I don't know, that's for God to decide now. First, I'm gonna tighten you up. |
Boyfriend |
[Groans] |
Ooh, kinky. |
Jenny |
Take a sponge. Put that on your head. |
Boyfriend |
For the sweats, I suppose. |
Jenny |
And then I'm gonna rip your trousers off. |
Boyfriend |
Ooh, I like where this is going. |
Jenny |
Which is good because when they flick the switch you're probably gonna sh*t yourself pretty badly. |
Boyfriend |
Jen... Jenny. I don't think we should do role play anymore. |
Clip 12 S02 E04 |
Karen is still at large and at liberty to make daily prank phone calls to her flat-mate, Natasha who just happens to be a police officer. Why is this still being allowed to happen?! |
Natasha |
Hello, police. |
Karen |
Oh, my children are missing - |
Natasha |
All right, calm down, madam, |
Karen |
- they're missing in the woods. I think they're missing in the woods. Can you send out a search party? |
Natasha |
All right, calm down, madam. If you could just give me all the details. |
Karen |
They went out into the woods and normally they mark the path with pebbles but there weren't any pebbles so they took breadcrumbs but the animals ate them and so they couldn't find their way back. |
Natasha |
Right, okay. And... and can you tell me when you last heard from them, please? |
Karen |
I don't know. They called me on a my mobile. They said they found a house and they were gonna go in. |
Natasha |
Okay. Was this house made of sweets? |
Karen |
Yeah. |
Natasha |
Right, this is the plot of Hansel and Gretel. This is Karen. Hello. |
Karen |
[Laughs] |
Can you bring home some ice cream? |
Natasha |
Oh, Karen, I'm really trying to work. I've got six people holding with real emergencies. |
Karen |
I know, but Natasha, I really, really like ice cream. |
Natasha |
All right, I'll stop by the shop. And by the way, what was that accent? |
Karen |
Oh, it was just... it was everything. |
Natasha |
Yeah. I'm gonna go now. |
Karen |
Okay, and Natasha? |
Natasha |
What? |
Karen |
Guess what I'm doing. |
Natasha |
Don't know. |
Karen |
Touching my nose with my toe. |
Natasha |
Brilliant. Good for you. |
Karen |
Oh, you never would've got that. |
Natasha |
[Hangs up] |
Bye... hello, police. |
Clip 13 S02 E04 |
So, little Sarah's mother lets her play with her make-up. All little girls enjoy learning how to apply make-up. Though usually to their father's while they're asleep in my experience. |
Woman |
I couldn't help but notice but is, is your Sarah wearing make-up? |
Mother |
Yeah, sometimes I let her play with my lipstick. You know, it's quite harmless. |
Woman |
Yeah, she probably just wants to look pretty. Or in a few years it'll be like, "Mummy, Mummy, Mummy I need a nose job." Then it's breast implants for her sixteenth birthday. Then she decides she wants bigger ones so it's back under the knife. After that she cannot help herself. She's addicted. Eyelifts, liposuction, Botox, the lot. By the time she's thirty, she looks like a shop dummy that's been burnt in a fire. Children on the street are scared of her. Then one day she... she flies off on holiday and it's pop-pop, oh, sh*t, there go my giant freakish tits. |
[Laughs] |
Or, you know... she'll be fine. |
Clip 14 S02 E04 |
Not all first dates go exactly to plan. But they're pretty much destined to fail if your chat-up lines are those you used in primary school. Jesus. |
Man |
I've just come out of a long term relationship so, erm... going out and, er, flirting and stuff is something I've not done in a... in a long time. |
Woman |
Oh, right. Well, if it's any consolation, I don't think it's changed all that much. |
Man |
Really? |
Woman |
Yeah. |
Man |
Right, right. Well, erm, I'll show you my willy if I can touch your nu-nu. |
Clip 15 S02 E05 |
Oh, Karen. When will you learn? Pranking the police, even if it's just your flat-mate is wrong. They have enough to be getting on with without this bullsh*t. |
Natasha |
Hello, police. |
Karen |
[Adopting a squeaky voice] |
Hello, I'd like to report an attempted murder. |
Natasha |
Okay, madam. |
Karen |
Sir, honestly! |
[Sneezes] |
Bless me. Sorry. Sorry. Right. I live with my six friends and recently we took on a lodger, a young woman. Anyway, a couple of weeks ago we get back and she's tied up, been tied up with these colourful laces, and someone has tried to suffocate her. |
Natasha |
Okay, so... |
Karen |
Then last week, I haven't finished yet, last week we get back, she's lying on the floor, almost dead, with this comb in her hair and someone's tried to poison her. And then today there was this big red apple. |
Natasha |
Okay, I'm just gonna have to stop you there. |
Karen |
It's just it's the third time it's happened so I thought I should mention it. |
Natasha |
Right, you and your six friends, how... how tall are you? |
Karen |
We're quite short. We're... we work in the woods where... |
Natasha |
Dwarves. Yeah. |
Karen |
Yeah. |
Natasha |
Oh, this is Karen, isn't it? |
Karen |
Yeah, can you bring back some bog-roll. I need to do a poo. |
Natasha |
Oh, well, why don't you go and get it 'cos they sell it in the newsagents. |
Karen |
No, I'm still in my pyjamas. |
Natasha |
Well, it's five o'clock, why don't you get changed? |
Karen |
Nah. |
Natasha |
I'll bring some back. Are you gonna be all right? |
Karen |
[Strained] |
Yeah. |
Natasha |
Oh. Don't strain. |
Karen |
You better hurry. You better come home. |
Natasha |
Ahh. Bye-bye. |
Karen |
Oh, don't go. |
Natasha |
[Sighs] |
[Hangs up] |
Karen |
Bye. |
[Sighs] |
Natasha |
Hello, police. |
Clip 16 S02 E05 |
Teachers. They can be amazing, inspiring, motivational. They can also be deranged, psychotic and just generally unpleasant. Take this one, for example. Jesus! |
Mother |
Tim's been crying a lot recently. I think school's really, really getting to him at the moment. |
Teacher |
Really? |
Mother |
Yeah, did you know that he's been receiving hate mail? |
Teacher |
Oh, yeah, that was me. |
Mother |
Sorry, you sent them? |
Teacher |
Yes, yes I did. Er, I just think he's a bit of a c*ck. |
Mother |
He's really, really scared. |
Teacher |
Well, I'm not surprised, they were quite graphic, weren't they? What with all the violent pictures and everything. |
Mother |
Yeah, no, he's... he's six years old. |
Teacher |
Yes. Yeah, it doesn't matter, I still don't like him. |
Mother |
He's our son. |
Teacher |
Well, I feel for you. And whiny, isn't he? |
Mother |
He's six. |
Teacher |
Exactly. We can't let children be thick and annoying indefinitely, you know. There's got to be a time when we say get lost and don't come back, mummy's boy. Do you not think? |
Father |
Are you not gonna apologise then? |
Teacher |
No, no. 'Cos I really, really don't like him. Can you not teach him at home? |
Mother |
I work. |
Teacher |
So do I! |
Mother |
Yeah, yeah, as... as a teacher. |
Teacher |
Oh, yeah. |
Clip 17 S02 E05 |
Okay. Just because little Charlotte loves Angel Cakes does NOT mean that she's going to end up morbidly obese, being winched out of a window because she's too big to get through a door. |
Woman |
Sorry, I couldn't help but notice but your Charlotte loves those little angel cakes they made, doesn't she? |
Father |
Oh, yeah, she's certainly got a healthy appetite. |
Woman |
Oh, yeah. Either that or she'll end up like one of those American women you see on channel five who are too fat to leave the house. Just lies there like a big fat blob, crying and watching Ricki Lake. Oh, oh, look, there's the husband back from Iceland with fifty tubs of ice cream. He is sobbing as he comes up the drive. He loves her, he knows he's killing her but what can he do? Then it's the inevitable heart attack. They have to winch her body out of the window to get her out. The coffin looks like a bungalow. |
[Laughs] |
Or... she'll be fine. |
