Coupling's Jeff Murdock and the ladies.

In the smash hit TV show Coupling, Jeff Murdock is a character played by British actor Richard Coyle. Jeff is let say, the socially handicapped guy. He gets so nervous around women that what blurts from his mouth is just hysterical. And of course his lack of luck with the ladies made him obsessed with sex. A subject on which he has some pretty weird ideas. I discovered that show a while ago (the original British show, no the US version) and I am a big fan.

Coupling = "Friends" on viagra 

Coupling is a BBC TV show aired from 2000 to 2004. Think about it as "Friends" on viagra and of course a hundred times funnier. The Brits sure know how to make excellent TV comedies.

The episodes revolved around the life of 6 friends, in their late 20's. Most of the episodes take place in a pub, and from time to time in a flat or at their jobs. Their main interest in life is relationship and of course sex.

The dialogs are brilliant, and honestly you can't just stop laughing.If you have a wicked sense of humor, you'll catch all those innuendos.

And please, don't bother with the American version.

Name: Jeffrey Murdock
Age: late 20's, early 30's
Born in: his strong Welsh accent supposed he was born in Wales
Lives in: London, UK
Occupation: works in an office, probably as an accountant
Best friend: Steve
His father: we know nothing about his father.
His mother: has certainly traumatized him with her threats of emasculation with a miniature guillotine if he kissed a woman. He refers often to his mother, and apparently her favorite line was a discouraged "Oh Jeffrey"
His favorite occupation as a kid : write the word naked on a bit of paper hundreds of times and rub his face in it.
His crush as a child: Britt Ekland (the Swedish actress). He would watch the TV all time, hoping to see her naked. It got to the point where he would get arouse every time the TV was switched on..

"Sex can be very stressful for men. You judge us on technique, sensitivity, stamina...we're just happy if you're naked...half naked...one breast" -Jeff

Jeff quotes 

"She's leaving the country...she doesn't speak English...I insulted her friend's breasts...and she thinks I collect women's ears in a bucket"

"I need breasts with brains. I don't mean individual brains, obviously... I mean, not a brain each. You know, I like intelligent women, but you've got to draw the line somewhere... I think breast brains would be over-egging the woman pudding."

"I love the word naked, it's brilliant isn't it, 'naked'. When I was a kid I used to write the word naked on a bit of paper hundreds of times and rub my face in it."

"Steve's whole fantasy life revolves around Mariella Frostrup If ever meets Mariella Frostrup in person his right hand will shout 'mother'."

"All of us in our time are visited by the Melty Man... Don't say his name, Patrick. Don't even think his name, or he will rise from the shadow dimensions to do his evil work inside your terrified pants."

"I am a prison for sperms. Those poor little tadpoles have been sentenced for life in Jeff Murdock's groin. And let me tell you, that can be a pretty lonely place."

"Having a girlfriend is like legalised sex."

"Women remember, Steve. It's like they've got minds of their own."

"When God made the arse, he didn't say, 'Hey, it's just your basic hinge, let's knock off early.' He said, 'Behold ye angels, I have created the arse. Throughout the ages to come, men and women shall grab hold of these, and shout my name.'"

"I get very tense around apples... Well, I get very tense generally. I think I've fallen into the trap of blaming fruit."

"Sex can be very stressful for men. You judge us on technique, sensitivity, stamina...we're just happy if you're naked...half naked...one breast"

What his friends think about him

 

"When the van comes for you, Jeff, go quietly." -Susan

"Jeff, every morning I wake up glad I'm not you." -Steve

"Let me explain, Patrick. Here on earth, there is a gap between seeing someone you like and having sex with them that we like to call *conversation*. In Jeff's case, it can last for up to ten years." -Steve

"Sorry [Jeff] , it's hard to tell which part of the story is meant to be interesting. " -Patrick
