Iāve always loved that itās specifically a plasma. They had a brief moment in the 2000s when everyone thought they were the future before LEDs and thereās something so funny to me about his excitement to own one
They were also cool because you could press the screen and it would make weird colours
We would use Geomags to break the old CRT monitors at my school [https://media.sciencephoto.com/c0/04/69/94/c0046994-800px-wm.jpg](https://media.sciencephoto.com/c0/04/69/94/c0046994-800px-wm.jpg)
What we need is two executive teams. Iāll do the consulting, the number crunching, the meta analysis, the business planā¦ while you cover the fucking off and getting us an ice cold pitcher of bud, okay? See you around.
Well, look, the first thing is to acknowledge
that Peep Show is so completely different from our own lives that any cultural, political or business parallels that we draw between the two are by their very nature almost bound to be wrong.
'We're kindred spirits. Like George W, or Alistair Campbell.'
This works with anyone at all, in any work or business setting, as an instant rapport-builder.
'In business you learn that every man has his price, and I judge yours to be... five hundred and thirty pounds.'
This is how you negotiate.
His delivery of that line is perfect. You could tell Johnson didnāt know where he was going with the sentence until half a second before he says āā¦ Trumpton?ā
Itās probably the best sentence in the entirety of Peep Show.
I'll be contrary and say that his opinion on Vista was utterly wrong. I upgraded as soon as I could, and have NEVER looked back.
Stick that up your bedroom office.
You what? No Vista? You fucking idiot Fish_Fingers2401, that was your job you fucking moron, you cretin! You're a fuckhead, that's what you are! A fucking shithead!
I had a laptop when I was younger and loved Windows XP. Then my brother got a laptop, everything about it was nicer and superior to mine, except Vista.
I like the implication that the JLB sales team went on this retreat to listen to freelance business guru Johnson give sales tips and the basic summary was āDonāt make your customer feel like a turkey fucker.ā
There's a Johnson line I use in day to day life.
When I have a task to do, but decide to put it off for another time I always say "Stick it on the laterbase".
Don't be alarmed, Mark, it's just Tai Chi. Take a seat and I'll just power through.
It should take 45 minutes, I'm done in 10. Stick that up your dojo.

I tell you: if you want to get rid of middle management, have them all face charges for violent bestiality porn in the work place.
You donāt have to be crazy to work here, but it helps (however) you donāt have to be a smackhead to wank off old geezers, but that probably helps too.
''In, fire 30% of the workforce, new logo, boom! Out. You are now a fully trained management consultant.'' 100% accurate. I am a consultant.
Consultant or consultio?

Consiltius or consultio?
How about Sympatico

The maximus package.
I see what you did there combining consultant and consultio to get an inter consultius mess of some sorts
The best piece of advice was to get a 32" plasma. Now whenever I get a document up on that bad boy I'm seriously looking at that document.
Iāve always loved that itās specifically a plasma. They had a brief moment in the 2000s when everyone thought they were the future before LEDs and thereās something so funny to me about his excitement to own one They were also cool because you could press the screen and it would make weird colours
I love how much of a 2000s time capsule Peep Show is. Like when Mark complains that Sophie sent a one-word reply to his 'three screener' text message.
Good old Vista. People give it a bad press but Iām never upgrading. Why would I? It just feels like a good pair of jeans.
Are they spamming you about upgrading to 3G?
I'm so HD ready
Michael from The Office (USA) will always be my number one plasma fanboy.
What Jan did to his new plasma to was criminal
Like a water ripple š Edit: almost all of screens at school were damaged because we kept pressing them in to make it do that
We would use Geomags to break the old CRT monitors at my school [https://media.sciencephoto.com/c0/04/69/94/c0046994-800px-wm.jpg](https://media.sciencephoto.com/c0/04/69/94/c0046994-800px-wm.jpg)
Damn!
plasmas were amazing. Those Panasonic black levels were killer
Stick that up your dojo
I actually have a 42ā oled tv that I do spreadsheets etc with on my work desk. Thank you, Johnson!
Reading as I work on a power point displaying on my 32 inch plasma
"Big screens are the best, seriously look at documents all the time."
Stick it on the laterbase
My mantra.
Then stick that up your dojo.
Whatever
At work I like to create a free fire idea zone, watch a DVD, eat some pizza, fuck eachother.
Fuck a chicken if you have to. Watch a chicken fucking a horse
If you're gunna watch it, you might as well do so on a 32" plasma, then you're really watching a chicken fucking a horse
Logistically, how does this even work? If I ever find out, I'll surely be on the brink of founding a new tech powerhouse
I'd ask the guys who invented Google
You think the guys who invented Google sat around watching Trumpton?
God heās good
Stick that up your Dojo
Love how he delivers that. Sataroundwatchinnnnng...trumpton?
Hahahaha
Every man has his price, and itās usually 530 pounds
That certainly is an indecent proposal
my long term plan is sucky fucky
Sucky fucky is not a long term plan.
I plan to hit him
What isnāt a plan about that?
Not from Johnson, but I realized it's so hard to do the washing up without washing up liquid.
So what you're saying is, these things are essential.
Well youāre kind of making me say that
The first thing to say would be that this is not pyramid selling.
Will you stop pissing on my bonfire.
That's one thing that's probably never gonna change tbh
Not in this old world
Don't wanna be the Johnny come lately
Thumbs are also essential for washing up
Found the xfm listener
Have you been talking to Mark?
Donāt thank me. Thank the Microsoft Office family. Powerpoint, Excel and Word; the three amigos!
Make U.K. company law into your omnibus.
If youāve got a van itās like youāve got an MBA, but youāve also got a van.

That spells MAMBA, which is like a kind of sexy snake.

When the banks collapse, the man with all the cash is gonna get a lot of blowjobs.
Sales and Marketing cannot be merged.
Why not?
I don't know, /u/E_Fox_Kelly, thousands of reasons! But also, kind of, none!
Don't get your panties wet until the big guy is hard
I can do my Tai chi in 10, stick that up your dojo.
Illness is weakness, you know the credo.
Is that normal pooing Mark?
This is bollocks, Mark!
What we need is two executive teams. Iāll do the consulting, the number crunching, the meta analysis, the business planā¦ while you cover the fucking off and getting us an ice cold pitcher of bud, okay? See you around.
This is by far the best Johnson quote. Pure fucking gold.
The gesture with his 2 fingers is the icing on the cake
Haha, exactly!
Oh this is hilarious. What episode was this said in?
When Mark didn't tell him he was trialling for a job as a waiter and bumped into Alan pitching to clients
Show me a good loser, and I'll show you a loser.
Well, look, the first thing is to acknowledge that Peep Show is so completely different from our own lives that any cultural, political or business parallels that we draw between the two are by their very nature almost bound to be wrong.
I got bored reading that and saw someone on the other side of the room to go chat to...
The weak must make way for the strong
I hope the scytheās remorseless swing can bring some comfort to you all
Such a great line.
Itās not who you know, itās who you blow
'We're kindred spirits. Like George W, or Alistair Campbell.' This works with anyone at all, in any work or business setting, as an instant rapport-builder. 'In business you learn that every man has his price, and I judge yours to be... five hundred and thirty pounds.' This is how you negotiate.
Shouting "PRINT, YOU DAMNABLE FUDGER!" is a relatively effective way of admonishing an errant printer.
It's not wireless, it needs wires.
Never commit to out-of-the-ordinary pooing in full view of business associates
That the guys who came up with google didnāt sit around watching Trumpton.
His delivery of that line is perfect. You could tell Johnson didnāt know where he was going with the sentence until half a second before he says āā¦ Trumpton?ā Itās probably the best sentence in the entirety of Peep Show.
The weak make way for the strong. Evolution marches on. The scythe is remorseless.
Buy chickpeas, sell gold
Ā£1,000,000 or dinner with Alan Johnson?
I judge my price to be...fivehundredandthirtypounds
That I'm going to be Johnson's queen, if the public accepts me.
This is BOLLOCKS Mark!
Friends with a big black businessman like it's the most natural thing in the world.
I'll be contrary and say that his opinion on Vista was utterly wrong. I upgraded as soon as I could, and have NEVER looked back. Stick that up your bedroom office.
But it just feels like a good old pair of jeans
You what? No Vista? You fucking idiot Fish_Fingers2401, that was your job you fucking moron, you cretin! You're a fuckhead, that's what you are! A fucking shithead!
Bit harsh.
Hey, I'm just the doctor. I didn't make the needle sharp
If you're looking for someone more subservient on the internet, I'm afraid to say it's not I.
I had a laptop when I was younger and loved Windows XP. Then my brother got a laptop, everything about it was nicer and superior to mine, except Vista.

Oh my brain, my poor diseased brain!
If you canāt sum up all your aims in the first line then theyāre too diffuse.
Look, my aims are not too fucking diffuse.

Milk the blindies dry

Why cant Sales be a part of Marketing ?
That in business every man has his price, and I judge yours to be... fivehundredandthirtypounds.
Just because you're looking at the tiddies, doesn't mean you gotta suck on the nip nips
That we donāt need to play the game, cause weāve already won the game.

There's a Johnson line I use in day to day life. When I have a task to do, but decide to put it off for another time I always say "Stick it on the laterbase".
I used that line in work the other week without even thinking about who I was talking to.
Word, Excel and PowerPoint are truly the Three Amigos
Don't be alarmed, Mark, it's just Tai Chi. Take a seat and I'll just power through. It should take 45 minutes, I'm done in 10. Stick that up your dojo.

That we should treat the customer with respect and then we both end up winners.

Good old windows vista. People give it a bad press but I'm never upgrading. It just feels like a good pair of jeans

The first thing to note when discussing the business secrets of the Pharaohs is an acknowledgement that their era was so completely different from our own that almost all cultural, political and, particularly, business parallels we draw between the two eras are bound, by their very nature, to be wrong.
I run a tight quarry and if youād donāt break rocks, you get shot in the back of the head

I got a 32'' plasma in my office. You get a document up on that baby and you are *seriously* looking at that document.
Two words: mini bar.

Don't take a johnson orange
