Coupling: Sex, Death and Nudity
February 25, 2015 2:01 PM - Season 1, Episode 3 - Subscribe

While giving Jeff advice on preparing for an interview, Patrick recommends imagining the panel naked, which Jeff begins to practice. Jeff introduces Patrick and Steve to the Giggle Loop, his name for difficulty of containing laughter at inappropriate times. Steve is persuaded to attend Jane’s Auntie’s funeral ... as Jane's boyfriend, as she hasn’t told her family they have split up. Susan won’t let Steve go alone, and Steve asks Jeff to pretend to be Susan’s boyfriend, beginning a chain of invitations that sees all six at the funeral, where the Giggle Loop strikes the least likely member of the group.

The Reservoir Dogs thing remains one of my favorite scenes in all of television.

Vulva!

I liked the homage to Reservoir Dogs and that they explicitly named the show. I knew this one but sometimes the movie references aren't always obvious.
