I happened upon IT Crowd quite by accident one evening. While I was perusing my Netflix que, I saw a program that was recommended to me becase of my recent selections. I saw that IT Crowd was instant play so I gave it a try and have been hooked since. I absolutely love Moss, Roy and Jan. Jan applies at a job at Reynholm. The interviewer says I see you have computer experience on your resume. Jan replies indeed, I send email, i delete email, i receive email. I know about the mouse, the screen, etc. And he makes her director of the IT department. Moss is a jewel, he has big Afro type hair with a part in it and these highwater pants. And Roy is a hilarious Irish character who is simply adoreable. Here is a part that is really really funny. Moss talks about prostitutes, but this is mild compared to the crap that is on American television. You know bedhopping, homosexual nymphos.
Scene 8 Roy: Really really, it was a true story. Unbelievable.
Office girl: I don't know why we don't go out with you IT guys more often. You're hilarious!
Roy: Yes, we are!
Jen: You guys should come down here more often. You should see this as a new era for Reynholm Industries.
Roy: "A new era for Reynholm Industries"
Oh, you what, if you want to hear something really funny, a really funny story, you should hear what happened to Moss and I when we were so drunk in Amsterdam that Moss lost his glasses. Moss! Moss! Come here, come here. Tell them that story about when we were drunk in Amsterdam.
Moss: Really?
Roy: Yeah, yeah. Oh It's brilliant, this is a great story, you're gonna love it. I'm just gonna get another box of wine.
Office guy: Well, go on then.
Moss: All right. Well. One night we really drunk, and err... we were so drunk that we decided to hire prostitutes.
(the laughter falls silent. Jen spits out her drink)
But when they arrived at the hotel we were too scared to do anything so we brought them to a fair. They were really nice. In the end they only charged us half but we did have to pay for all the rides.
Roy: Haha! Oh isn't that just the best story.
Moss: You told me to never tell that story to anyone.
Roy: What are you talking about? That's a brilliant story and then you walked into the canal. Has it got to that part with the boat man?
Moss: Oh, you mean the story where I lost my glasses.
Roy: Yes. What story
Check it out. I find the US version to be sappy.
Another 70's gem that I loved for the first few seasons were "The Goodies". There are a few episodes on Youtube such as Scoutrageous, one of my favorites.
Just to jump ahead a few years, my wife recently netflixed one from the 80's I had never heard of. The title is Hallelujah! with Thora Hird as a Salvation Army captain. Very entertaining.
YouTube does not bloody support on iPhone
Can’t wait to see
Thanks for the refs... it IS pretty funny.
I will i am always looking for something good. thanks
