I love it!

I actively avoided it when it first came out because I thought it was going to be too geeky and cringe. But I missed a treat. Or maybe I wouldn't have appreciated it at that age anyway, who knows?

Just watched the episode where they get involved with the football fans, and the scene where they are in the pub exchanging worried glances while in amongst a load of footy fans talking nonstop had me absolutely creased up. 😆😆😆 it's just so bloody British and I love it!

Just sharing the love really.

I started watching it again after reading this thread last night - only on E3, so many funny bits already 🤣 😂

The Haunting of Bill Crouse is my favourite. Katharine Parkinson at the window is hilarious.

Love the IT Crowd it's so funny. Agree with pp the theatre trip one is fantastic. When Moss is the bar man 🤣

Also is the one where Jen appears at the window 🤣

I love the bit when Moss is the barman!

My DH watched The IT Crowd, I thought I'd seen a lot of it but looking at this thread I obviously haven't seen much of it!
Need to look up episodes.
I'm sure I've seen Black Books too, was the Scottish actor Rory who was in Game of Thrones in it? Need to check.

We loved Friday Night Dinner in our house, still watch it regularly. So funny. Paul Ritter is comedy genius, RIP.

Father Ted still makes me laugh so much.
If I wanted a laugh in the past would watch the first two episodes of Phoneix Nights, was so funny.

"Hello, IT. Have you tried turning it off and on again?"

I work in the NHS, was trying to get a laptop working, phoned IT and they actually said this to me!! 😂.
The thing is I had tried turning it off and on again!

Love the theatre one, the football one, Peter file and the one where she dates the man who looks like a magician Grin

Chris O'Dowd has a new show out on sky Atlantic now so will give that a go.

The magician one is also the football one!

They pack so much into each episode don't they 😂

Oh I love the IT crowd so much and am jealous you're experiencing it fresh. "You wouldn't shit in a policeman's hat" Grin

@kinkytoes Also recommend watching the IT Crowd outtakes on YouTube. They are hilarious.

Thanks for the tip!

@ThereWillBeGold Bloody love a bit of FND and so glad they got to end it properly before Paul Ritter became unwell. "Hello bambino's"!

The trouble with Arsenal is they always try to walk it in.

My fave is the theatre trip.

The theatre trip is the first one we ever watched (leg disabled 😂) but I've watched them several times. It never gets old despite the now antique computers they are using.

And then send it to his grieving widow 🤣.

Reference this constantly.

Love the one where Jen takes up smoking and quips that the outside smoking area is like Gorky Park. And then she starts talking with a Russian accent and wearing a headscarf. I think of that every time I stand outside by my office having a puff in the rain 😂

Lovely bit of squirrel !

LunaNorth · 04/03/2025 08:23

God damn these electric sex pants!

I love the ones where Jen is on her period and turns into actual Satan, and when she gets a boyfriend who’s in a band and turns into Stevie Nicks 😂

Roy’s face when he’s sitting on the chair lift being lifted into the minibus against his will in the theatre one 😂

I could go on. Matt Berry fans need to watch What We Do In The Shadows, he’s genius in that.

Edited

I've just googled as it was annoying me, the Scottish actor Rory McCann was in a show called The Book Group, not Black Books!
That was really good as well although it was a bit dark at times if I remember, from early 2000s.

LunaNorth · 04/03/2025 08:24

I loved The Book Group. Nobody ever remembers it.

hereismydog · 04/03/2025 08:28

Good morning! That’s a nice tnettenba!

Furball · 04/03/2025 08:28

Agree - every episode is genius

Moss trying to swear......oh.......................PLOPPERS😂

Shit on it!

crossstitchingnana · 04/03/2025 08:35

I like the one ones are the one where they trick Jen into believing she's broken the internet, the funeral "sorry for your loss-move on" and the one where they trick boss dates a trans woman.

Yogre · 04/03/2025 08:35

I feel many family dvd nights coming on.

This thread has inspired me to do a marathon of all my old favourites.

It crowd, father ted, gimme gimme gimme, black books, red dwarf, Friday night dinner.

DullardFrigate · 04/03/2025 08:36

The theatre trip one had me laughing so much. Everything about that one was hilarious.
My teen dcs really enjoyed IT crowd too. Best comedy show in my opinion.

AnAlpacaForChristmasPleaseSanta · 04/03/2025 08:39

Douglas dating the trans woman "you used to be a man?! I thought you said you were from Iran!".

Douglas fighting the vicar to turn off his dad's confessions video about dodgy shares.

Richmond's out of his room. Why is he out of his room 🤣.
