IT Crowd - Who's excited?

[the darknees abyss]

For those of you who don't know the comedy IT Crowd is coming back for one last episode on friday in England! I can't wait, so write down what you think and your favorite IT Crowd moments.

Is it some kind of special? I am surprised they didn't wait for Christmas, as that is what they normally do. I liked the series so I shall be looking forward to it.

My favourite scene? That's easy (although there are many):

 

[piinyouri]

Oh a final episode? That sounds fun. Hope it end's up somewhere I can see it eventually.

Favorite scene?
Every time I see or watch this scene I laugh so hard that I literally do not want to laugh anymore because it hurts so bad in my stomach and sides.

[Malty Milk Whistle]

Oh yes.
So very much so.

Shame that it's the last episode though.

 

[Alfador_VII]

Ok, I watched both of these clips.

Are there jokes in them?

I just never got this show. It has good actors and great writers, and I'm into computers. I just can't find the humour.

There is none. I don't think I've seen a worse attempt at comedy than this show. It's not only not funny, it's annoying. The worst thing is the canned laughter after every line.

I'm definitely excited for this. I love a lot of moments from the series, but I think my favorite is probably...well anything with Douglas, I don't think I've ever laughed as hard as I did as when it has him on screen.

I'm not gonna argue humour, subjective and all that jazz, but there's no canned laughter. IT Crowd is filmed live.


OT: It'll be a shame to see it go, but it's better than dragging it out for a stupid amount of seasons. Give it a big send off and let it go.

I tried to watch IT Crowd. I really did. I like the premise, but the execution...sucked.

Also, laugh tracks. Can't stand them.

The best part was when Douglas went to see Moss about his malfunctioning pants.

And the episode with April.

Also when Roy tried to figure out the mystery of Sea Parks' aquatheater burning down.

 

[Headdrivehardscrew]

I am!

Probably more than I should be, but - yes, I am excited.

There's plenty of super fun moments. I still like to go back in time and watch pre-Boosh Noel Fielding. I like how everything just gels together into something IT-related and almost as timeless as Father Ted. Heresy, I know.

One of my favourite moments would have to be this one, entitled "Jen phones tech support". Notice how they changed the ethnicity of the tech support in order to be not too offensive. The harsh truth tends to be offensive. White guys are never offensive, they can be shat on all day and it's super fun. Just like 'sharing a sandwich' in that other no-longer-that-much-fun TV series.

That's a worry then. Who laughs that much at this stuff? What the hell are the live audience smoking? I want some.

Humour might be subjective, but objectively, cramming as many jokes and one-liners into the shortest time possible is bad and monotonous for the viewer. That's all the new comedies seem to be able to do. Is it too much to ask for a few minutes of plot development between the hilarity? Or does the audience suddenly fall asleep without laughing every 5 seconds?

Yep, which is exactly why the Marx Brothers' careers never took off. Oh wait...

Seriously, you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about, and given that Graham Lineham is one of the most celebrated comedic writers of the last twenty years, I'm inclined to say he knows more about comedy than you ever will.

OT: I am looking forward to it, I'm not sure if I've even seen all of the last series, now that I think about it.

As for my favourite moment, I could cheat and say absolutely any scene involving Matt Berry, but I decided in the end that nothing tops Chris Morris...

 

[wakeup]

i thought series 4 was quite forgettable to be honest. I think i still prefer father ted. im still excited for friday though.

 

[Evil Smurf]

I've only just started watching it, I'm up to the third episode. I'm loving it do far though.

 

[Catfood220]

I love The IT Crowd, I'm sad to see it go, but at least we get some closure. My favourite scene, this one always makes me laugh, its just so stupid.

There is none. I don't think I've seen a worse attempt at comedy than this show. It's not only not funny, it's annoying. The worst thing is the canned laughter after every line.

Try watching Two Broke Girls, at is the pinnacle of terrible attempts at comedy.

 

[MHR]

This is the best and quintessential part of the IT crowd.

I find myself sad it's only coming back for one episode though. It's just going to be another good hit that'll make the withdrawal come crashing back down on me again....

You must've never seen Two and a Half Men, then. Or The Big Bang Theory. Or, actually, anything by Chuck Lorre, or any American remake of a British comedy (the Office, the Inbetweeners).

Must've never seen anything by Aaron Seltzer & Jason Friedberg... or a good number of Will Ferrell movies that came on the coat-tails of Anchorman, such as Step Brothers.

You're either very inexperienced with comedy, or you've managed to only see stuff of great quality!
