It’s been years since I’ve seen it, so I don’t know where the argument is. Here’s the full episode of [Her Best Friend’s Bottom](https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x54egqy) ‘Captain Subtext’ starts around 25:40. [_Coupling_](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coupling_(British_TV_series)) was hilarious. We have the boxed set, but we’ve never watched Season 4. ---

Just wanted to add my voice to say _Coupling_ was an awesome show (the British version, they tried to make an American version which failed and it’s kind of sad since _Coupling_ was basically copying _Friends_ to begin with). Jane and her insanity was probably my favorite part. If anyone has seen the show _Leverage_, the same actress is one of the main cast of that show as well. It’s too bad that once Jeff left the show, it went downhill and was never good again. (Steve on the show is someone people might recognize from the _Pirates of the Caribbean_ films.) ---

> [@Atamasama](#): > > It’s too bad that once Jeff left the show, it went downhill and was never good again. QFT. But until then it was one show that regularly made me LOL until I peed my pants. We still say “apparently” in the mocking of Susan’s intonation of the word, and talk about Sally’s Happy Place. Very funny show. The replacement “Jeff” was so stupid, he was basically a chimp in a suit. ---

The first episode of the American version used the same script (or close to it) as the British version. I found it interesting to see how different actors interpreted the same material. > [@Atamasama](#): > > Jane and her insanity was probably my favorite part. When I first started watching, I found her character to be be completely insuffereable, to the point of even disliking the actress. The argument with the truth snake completely changed my opinion; she was fantastic in that scene. ---

This didn’t really piss me off but given this thread’s title this seems to belong here (it pisses me off that this buffoon is a front runner for president): > **[Trump Tells Iowa Voters He’s Just ‘Not Into Golden Showers’](https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-tells-iowa-voters-hes-just-not-into-golden-showers)** > > ‘“It’s not true, darling.

**Coupling** was a UK absurdist sex farce loosely modeled after **Friends** and written by Steven Moffat. One of the characters was named Jeff, and Jeff spent a lot of thought and effort dissecting sex etiquette. _Captain Subtext_ was mentioned above by @Johnny_L.A, and then @FordPrefect mentioned the issue of socks when it comes to intimacy. _The Sock Gap_ was a theory by the Jeff character. It is “the point where a man decides to remove his socks before becoming intimate. Jeff’s recommendation is between shoe removal and pant removal.” ---
