BBC Coupling: I Laughed 'til I Cried

The American version left me completely cold, but Melissa and I have just watched the 1st season of the original BBC series Coupling and I actually laughed several times 'til I cried. In fact, there was one phrase that I tried to repeat to my wife because it struck me so hard, but I literally couldn't say it without losing my ability to speak (btw, "the pride of my ear bucket" is the phrase and I'm typing it through the tears).
