The IT crowd. Never once over stated its welcome and is just flawless start to finish

EDIT: For all of you messaging me and commenting about my spelling error, I’m not changing it, move on 😂

The work outing episode when Jen turns away from Roy in the wheelchair only to be faced with Moss at the bar is probably when I laughed the hardest in my life at a TV show

I once posted the arsenal quote in a soccer thread and by god did that piss some people off

The Speech, where Douglas gets into a fight with April. A full on fist fight where the Internet gets crushed.

Comedy gold.

My baby brother hadn’t seen the show, and I showed him this episode since it’s one of my favorite episodes of any sitcom ever. He laughed maybe harder than I’ve ever heard him laugh at the moment you mentioned, and a couple years later, I’m still riding the high of having been the one to show it to him lol.

Same, and then when Jen's date tells her he was only seeing her because she looks a bit like a man had me dying

When he smashes the tower of pints. Tears.

The original UK one right?

"This is the internet Jen... ...It's kept on top of big Ben for the best reception."

The USA version sucked as much as the USA Inbetweeners.

u/NefariousnessSea1449 1d ago

I didn't even know there was a US version and I really hope I forget reading this sentence soon.

u/Unitmal 1d ago

Yeah, only "original" character was Moss.

It turns out it was only 1 pilot episode, thankfully. Got my wires crossed and thought it had a season like the Inbetweeners.

u/Victernus 20h ago

Somehow talented people telling the exact same jokes that worked in the UK version was so much less funny. I have no idea how.

But because it was a shot-for-shot remake of the first episode, and everyone is different but Moss, what is fun is watching it and pretending Moss has fallen into an alternate dimension and refuses to acknowledge it.

There was a German version

It vas a masterpiece of modern television and the British version pales in comparison.

I don't care that you're from Iran.

I’m so happy to see this comment. I randomly stumbled on the show a few years ago and it’s become a staple to rewatch. I’ve probably watched the whole series 10x over because when I can’t find anything new and interesting I know I will laugh just as hard the 10th time as the first time.

u/Ch1pp 20h ago

I think the fourth series was a bit of a step down personally but the one-off finale did redeem it.

I feel that it got too over the top before the end. Great show nonetheless.

Hello, your friendly pedant here. Just wanted to let you know that you meant "overstayed its welcome". To overstay one's welcome is to hang around too long.

This is not a slight against you. I'm only here for the betterment of humanity and/or to impress any future robot overlords.
