"Them's your bowels" has to be one of the best lines in the whole series. A quotable one for sure.

The girl that plays Mary also plays Kayleigh in another quality Peter Kay show 'Car Share'

mwdoom

Nice little Tarantino reference with the shot from inside the boot (sorry..."trunk") of the car

mwdoom

Me and "The hills have eyes" lmaooo

Publico

He's now on the biggest UK TV show export around the world - Top Gear. That's pretty incredible when you think about it.

After Work Reactions

That is awesome bud, they are hilarious =]

Gary S

Not sure if you know this Josh, but Paddy was just a mate of Peter Kay’s. He had no previous acting experience and just used to go and hang out with Peter when he performed. Until one day Peter asked him to try out for that role and he’s been performing ever since.

Ian Webster

Back when a Dr Who reference was niche.

Chris

There was another sort of joke where paddy was asking if max wanted a brew so he could get away from the door. Said he had gammon for tea, which is a bacon steak, so is salty and would give you a dry mouth and thus make you thirsty for a cup of tea/brew

Chris

Did you notice them playing the sing "The Whole of The Moon" whilst Jerry is laying there with his arse hanging out? Potter is referred to as "our very own Davros" in the robot wars scene. Davros was a baddy in Dr Who. Half man half Dalek ie. moved around on wheels.

Totally agree bud I always tend to miss something in comedies the first time around.

After Work Reactions

Thanks bud, make sure you vote when this show comes to an end =]

Andy Quin

You missed the joke about the guy with the nickname "Sushi".....real name "Roy Fish" lol

Hannah

I love the Royale Family..like you say: subtle. I just don't think it's the kind of show Josh could react to. I could be wrong. Maybe do one and see how it is?

Hannah

Yeah, i think Jerry was gonna snap but just pulled it back in the last second. After you've finished watching Phoenix Nights, i think it would make sense to just carry on with Max and Paddy. It's a decent show and if you like the characters already, you'll enjoy it. It's a Road Show....travelling around the country in a camper van getting into all kinds of shit.. good fun.

Hannah

I NEVER get all the jokes on first watch. There's so much i've got THIS time round.

Steve King

Yes, it stands for National Union of Students

It's my first time watching as well Josh and I picked up all those you said you missed from the last episode no problem, but I'm sure I've missed other things here and there. She said she's doing her A levels, meaning she's at college or 6th form at school (like the lads on Inbetweeners) that you do between 16 - 18 yrs old. Enjoyed this episode, I was waiting for that 'Oh no' when I saw you looking away and his arse was in the screen when you looked up ha 🤣

Wilss

I know the guy in the purple shirt singing about bitterness in his life. He's a comedy singer called Mik Artistik.

Leo Collinge

You gotta watch max and paddy’s road to nowhere after Phoenix

Logan Jukes

"I don't take none of that shit love and neither should you... My body is a temple" haha. NUS is a student discount card, it gives them discounts of drinks and events and stuff. You weren't far off with your guess! Also, the other thing you weren't sure of was "A Levels" ... It's the certification you get from college (16 - 18 years old, equivalent to your high school).

Michael Harrop

I really like how everyone rallies around Jerry, this is one of those shows that make you really care about the characters and their relationships. They're a weird little family at the Phoenix.

Michael Harrop

Little subtle joke when Jerry is getting his arse checked out the song in the background is 'you saw the whole of the moon' as you see his arse.

Michael Harrop

NUS is a student card, gives you student discount in certain places which is why she was asking if they accepted it. Max mistook it as she was asking him for drugs 'i dont take any of that shit love, my bodys a temple!' Basically just Max being out of touch with the younger generation.

Kyle Parsons

Definitely pick up some lines on repeated viewings. Even now after watching this since it came out I'm picking up stuff that I missed. If you ever get round to watching The Royle Family, it's the same sort of deal, although The Royle Family is even more subtle. That show is more of a "fly on the wall" of a regular family, but slightly exaggerated.
