the line that always kills me is when boo and fleabag are in bed and fleabag says "you know i'm insecure about my face" and boo goes "no what are you talking about your nose is fine"
I'd probably say the same thing. Women are weird about their noses. I love me a bigger bridge, but they all want the sinus headache that is the button and it's just bloody awful.
@@themarlboromandalorian Well this comment made me feel wonderful. Thank you. I'll learn to love my big bridge eventually, just as everyone shall learn to love their features as well.
Something that few people realize is the fact that Fleabag can see the priest's fox and the priest can break her fourth wall is them breaking down each other's defense mechanisms and actually seeing each other. It was basically them seeing each other truly vulnerable. it was incredibly heartbreaking.
@@HectorTWE It's obvious that the priest can see right through Fleabag's defense mechanisms, and I genuinely might just be very dumb, but until this comment I never realised how the fox represents the priest's defense mechanism
Fleabag is one of the best British shows I've ever seen. Phoebe Walker-Bridge knocked it out of the park with this series. Getting Andrew Scott as the "Hot Priest" was a bonus.
@@happylielieXD basically the priest was blessing everyone with 'peace be with you' and everyone was replying with 'and also with you'. fleabag wasn't really paying attention as she was busy looking at the priest. so when he says 'please be seated', since she wasn't really paying attention she thought he said 'peace be with you' and replied with 'also with you' xd
I literally started crying laughter at the feminist line 4:08 I have no context for why she said that but it caught me so off guard. Loudest I’ve laughed at a show for ages
it’s even funnier in context. she’s at a silent quaker meeting, where people are only supposed to speak if they feel moved to. so she stands up, thinking that she’s going to say something really profound. and then that line happens. such a brilliant scene.
It makes a lot of sense. A lot of people say that modern feminists are feminists because they possess a physical feature that is unattractive to men. Like the stereotype that feminists all have large noses and this anger makes them "hate men" and become feminists. So she is saying that she would be less of a feminist if she had bigger tits because she would be feel appreciated and more liked by men making her less resentful.
@@Brandon75689 I mean, yeah it makes sense, but the fact that she said that out of nowhere in a silent Quaker meeting is just so random it makes everyone laugh xD
"You look well. Where have you been?" "Boots, It's lovely there this time of year." Kills me every time. I also never caught. "This is my catering. She's the sister" before.
I just found out, you can do it in half a day. But emotional.. its hard. Like why is the show so funny, yet so sad? I switch from happy cry to sad cry?? Why is the end so f sad?
@@boughofthewillowtree he refused to hold the baby, obviously not in a rude way. I think he was subconsciously jealous. I've also heard that he was trying to see if Harry was the father of Fleabag's supposed baby that she lost, sniffing out if they were a couple. I kinda get this as the priest was not paying any attention to FB until Harry began talking to her.
I always interpreted it as highlighting how different Hot Priest and Harry are to each other. Which then goes on to show that Hot Priest was good for Fleabag when Harry wasn't.
@@ellaocean hard not to, it's only so little episodes unfortunately.. But then again, that allows it to be this brilliant! Not dragged on beyond what it was originally written to be
What I love about fleabag and the priest is they are perfect for each other when they met but would be terrible for each other long term. He uses priesthood to keep people at arms length, and she uses sex to keep people at arms length. Through season 1 we see her get absolutely railed all the time but she's rarely interacting with the person she's sleeping with she's interacting with us, in contrast when she sleeps with the priest she slaps the camera away. it is finally an intimate private moment and she doesn't want the audience involved. In contrast the priest tries to keep her at arms length in the confessional where people open up to him but he doesn't have to be open himself, theres a literal wall between them but she knocks down that wall by actually opening up emotionally and he ... well we know.
Omg me too. I was crying with laughter and my husband (who wasn’t watching with me) just couldn’t understand what was so funny when I tried to explain it.
Like others have said, I think it's better that the series has gone out on a high. PWB has said she might do a one off episode or something when she's in her 40s or 50s, and I'd be pretty chill with that, just as a nice little epilogue. But yeah, better to quit while you're ahead I think
I just realised that when they’re having the flashback to her moms funeral, she doesn’t talk to us. I think it’s because after boo’s death , she considers us as her friend, but since boo was still alive then , she doesn’t speak to us . Phoebe’s minddddd🤯
I know we're all sad to let Fleabag go and also content with the ending the show has. PWB will most likely revive the show ONLY if she has a truly good idea to continue the show and even if that never happens I'm still glad the show was brought to life in the first place. One of my favorite TV shows by far, brilliant acting and writing! Gosh I'm gonna miss it.
Such shows shouldn't be too long. It's perfect the way it is. Milking the story for more fans is an easy way to make some money, but ruin the perfect atmosphere of everything. I'd much prefer to see her next writing, with the hope that it's gonna be a bit longer.
@@1994savvas I totally agree with you. It's quite rare nowadays to see writers that know when to stop and not milk it until it doesn't make sense at all. And she did it perfectly with Fleabag!
@@LegendoftheGalacticHeroI feel you !!! I have the same issue but another show that made me go now that’s a human woman is Russian Doll, it’s AMAZING and the main character is just chef’s kiss
I think she thought the preist said “Peace be with you” instead of ‘please be seated” which is what he did say Normally, you would would reply to “and also with you” if someone says peace be with you so that’s why she said that, even though it makes no sense because he actually said “please be seated“ 😂😂
Oh gosh, "and also with you" or anything after "Please be seated" is out of order for a standard service. "Please be seated" is the standard intro to #someoneupthefrontisgoingtosaysomestuff".
I loved Fleabag. Something about it just reached down deep inside the very essence of my millennial womanhood and was like....this is it. This evokes my late 20s/30s.
In the dinner, scene I laughed really loud when godmother said, "You know the most fascinating thing about father here is that his mother was originally a LESBI-"
Not only one of the best shows I've seen...Phoebe is one of the funniest comedic actresses I've watched...She's right up there with Julia Louis dreyfus
I've always wanted to know if *"BOO! BAH!"* was an acting choice or in the script, it's such a hilariously real moment of panic and every time I'm reminded of it, it lives with me for weeks
By the way PWB reacts, which seems genuine and trying not to burst out laughing, I would say it's partly improvised, I like to think that Andrew Scott just added his own flavour to the scene
4:39 I just want you to know that I will always be there for you, always. Always. Always. Always. I’m gonna check on the sausage rolls m’kay? * kiss kiss *
