** Jeremy blurts out “What I’m saying is they should be more honest. At least, Tony Adams from the IRA, he's like, "Yeah, I shoot people. I like shooting people."” while talking politics with Mark and Johnson, the obvious aspect of the joke being that he’s got Gerry Adams’ name wrong, and the more subtle part is that Adams has always been very adamant that he was never in the IRA and has never killed anyone.

* SeasonalRot: Not as extreme a case as some other shows, but Series 8 is generally considered to be something of a creative slump: while still immensely quotable and having one or two great episodes, many viewers felt that Dobby's shift in personality from geeky office drone to pretentious hipster felt abrupt, and that the love triangle between her, Mark and Jeremy felt contrived. Other complaints include the addition of Dobby’s obnoxious friends to the cast, Mark and Jeremy’s relationship becoming less love/hate and more genuinely mean-spirited, and the either complete absence or much reduced role of fan favourite characters from previous series like Johnson, Big Suze and Sophie.

** "Dance Class" consists of Mark, Jeremy, Sophie and Nancy spend a weekend at a classmate’s country house. One scene has the five of them go skinny-dipping in a lake. Mark, at first, is hesitant as everyone roots for him to take his trunks off and jump in. Jeremy, in particular, appears to be the most interested as he starts a chant of "Off! Off! Off!" and even pulls on his trunks as a joke. Later on, the group decide to play {{spin the bottle}} and Mark and Jeremy end up kissing each other… on the lips… in the most passionate way possible. Although a two-second kiss would’ve done just fine, the both of them go all the way with it and make out for almost twenty seconds, with Mark’s only complaint being Jeremy’s lack of flossing. Yeah…

** Mark and Jeremy tend to sabotage the each other's efforts with the opposite sex, and routinely hug and even kiss each other when in high spirits. In short, there's quite a lot of it flying around. Notably, Mark's best match is Dobby [[spoiler:who Jeremy falls in love with because she's a female version of himself,]] which means by proxy he's dating a female Jeremy (albeit without Jez's extreme narcissism).
