The IT crowd

[Top_Gooner]

Has anyone actually found this funny ?, or am i missing the plot. I watched it for the first time and thought it was a pile of carp.

Quite agree,absolute garbage.Can not believe the same guy wrote Father Ted !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Steve_Luts]

agree too....I read reviews which said "this years The Office" and watched it in anticipation of greatness. I also work in IT, and was secretly dreading it being rather good, because of the rib-poking I would endure from mates.....but its total c@rp and struggles to raise any laughs .... all that shouting of weak jokes just makes me channel surf.

...I'm loving it...loved the gothbehind the green door episode the best so far...superbly surreal...

Generally its not that funny although the answer phone gag last week had me in stiches.

Hopefully the new comedy starting next week on BBC2 will pick things up again.

I love it! It's obviously a divisive show as most of the respondents here hate it, whilst everyone I know who's seen it finds it hilarious (even Mme LeMarchand, who refused to watch the first ep was won round). My fave ep was the shoes one: nice screensaver!

If only I dared have an answerphone message like that at work. (If only I had an answerphone, or even a phone, or a proper ofiice - with a desk...)

We think it's great, but then we run a computer shop, so the statements "have you tried switching it off and switching it on again?" and "is it plugged in?" etc. seem hilarious to us. I think the episode in which Moss emails the fire brigade was funny! and there are definate elements of "Father Ted" in the characters.

I love it.

Yes I quite agree, sad to think it was written by such comedy geniuses. It's kind of a really badly performed Black Books ( with an Irish soundalike, but sadly not comedy-a-like Dylan Moran) based in a computer department. And what the bloody hell is Chris Morris up to? It's just another sign of channel fours decline as a leader in new comedy. Lets have less of this, 8 out of ten cats, The Friday night project and other such crap and bring back Brass Eye, Black Books, Father Ted, and generally anything else good and funny.

We all love it. Characters are a bit Beano..ish. My kids think it is hilarious - and so do all the kids in her class. Favourite character is Moss. She wants to work in IT one day. I suppose the characters are unprententious and very British.We want more!
