IT Crowd

sleepy33

I feel like there is a serious lack of love/education about The IT Crowd on this board.

Never even heard of it. I thought you had an IT question and were rounding up the "IT crowd" from the title.

Yup ^

Then I am glad to have cleverly lured you into my poll, thereby spreading the word about the hilarity of The IT Crowd! Available on Netflix!

It is the show from which such awesome gifs as this are drawn:

H and I just started it a couple of weeks ago. We're only up to the Aunt Irma ep. The previous ep where Moss told everyone Jen died had me literally LOL'ing, which is rare.

@dknight413 did I correctly use bollocks in the poll? #nervousaboutBritvernacular

Can you enlighten me? I am in serious need of a good sitcom. What channel?

Netflix but Hulu might have it

I would also like to note I use gifs from it all the time. I think people just don't realize where they are from.

Well now DH and I have a new show to check out

I watch it on Netflix, no cable so I am not sure if it is on a regular channel. Maybe BBC America? It is British.

Chrisanna0508

Never heard of it either

if this is what the show is about, sounds like my cup of tea. except that i never have time to sit down and watch tv. so maybe someone can sum up each episode for me as it happens..

i'm making @snowboarderbritt do this for me for a trashy reality show

Ahh love this show! Favorite bit ever ------- "FIRE, exclamation mark. FIRE, exclamation mark. Help me, exclamation mark." ... bahaha so good.

I feel like anyone who works in an office, and/or is around nerds a lot would love it. And it's just funny, period.

Fact - because this really is our first response to most issues, workers will now tell me that they did reboot.  I love going over there, reboot it myself and it works.  Don't lie to me, I will make you look like an idiot.

Wait, this one is better:

The show is hilarious. I haven't seen all the episodes but I catch it a lot when Dh watches it

Jenball717

Ok, show itself is super funny. That laugh track though....me hates it. So annoying.

I am usually not down with a laugh track, and I agree that I would prefer it without. But for some reason, I find it less grating than the laugh track on BBT. But possibly b/c I actually LOL at IT Crowd, and not at BBT, so since I'm laughing *with* it, I find it less obnoxious?

Yes, but for some reason I feel like it questions my intelligence somewhat. Like it is really loud during an obvious joke, it's saying "did you catch that? It was funny!" And I'm like, "yeah, no, I got that. But it wasn't quite as funny as you're making it out to be. More of a giggle than a guffaw." It's like turned up to full belly laugh for every joke.

This is always the first thing I tried at work. The best part of The gif is that it's like an ongoing gag in like every episode.

@jenball717 do you watch or have you ever seen BBT?

5speckledfrogs

I had never heard of it beefier this post so I decided to watch it during bed. I'm on episode two. It's funny but not quite "slap-your-knee" and "laugh-until-your-blue-in-the-face" funny. I'll probably keep watching, but I'm not in love (that could change).

Yes, we are BBT fans and yes, the laugh track there sucks too. I mean, if you aren't somewhat intelligent anyway, those shows won't even interest you. So why the need for the laugh track? Stupid producers.
