Should I react to Season 3? SEASON 1 IT CROWD: kzfaq.info/sun/PLQHhQlj8i5drV1Iau2HeUnhy6p1_VCOtM

I think The Work Outing may be the best episode of The IT Crowd ever. Its perfect.

“People, what a bunch of bastards” that is my spirit quote 😂

The sudden moment where Jen turns to see Moss behind the bar & taking her order is the funniest scene in TV history

God, I love "the work outing" so much - "Im disabled" (with the voice and everything) is a running joke in my family, and the bit where Jen turns around and sees Moss as a bartender is one of my favorite jokes in anything ever.

49:30 Moss appearing on the wrong TV show is a reference to a hilarious 2006 event when BBC News interviewed the wrong person live on air about an ongoing Apple legal case. The man, who could hardly speak English, had told them: "I'm here for the IT interview" -- but meaning the job interview he'd come for. They pushed him into the studio and in front of the cameras. The man, Guy Coma, shared the same first name as the Internet legal expert who turned up late.

Jen: "I like this boss." Denholm: [unalives himself]

A full season reaction in 1 video? No 45 minute introduction with your childhood backstory? Commentary that goes with the show rather than over it? No long pauses? This is a reaction channel I can get behind, great vid!

"The work outing" is one of the best episodes of comedy I've ever seen - pretty much brilliant from start to finish and of course with the IT-crowd specialty - plant a small joke in the beginning, bring it back for a big laugh in the end 😄

“The Work Outing” is one of the best episodes ever. It’s comedy gold, I was laughing so hard and your reaction to Season 1 was fantastic Jen. I knew this one was gonna be a blast as well.

Jen, I have never seen a reactor laugh so much as you did during the work outing scene. ------- I've never gotten so much joy from a YT video ever. Thanks so much

Your laugh is worth the price of admission.

It's definitely the hardest I've seen you laugh - and the hardest any episode of comedy has made me laugh by a country mile! Amazing

The Work Outing and The Dinner Party are 2 of my top 3 favorite episodes.

The finale of "The Work Outing" is some of the best comedy writing I've ever seen. It's just five minutes of straight punchlines and callbacks. Absolutely phenomenal. And then to go from that straight into the introduction of Matt Berry's character in the next episode... Absolutely stunning to me that this show isn't more popular

Matt Berry, who plays the boss has had a number of albums out. He plays every instrument, writes every tune and sings

The really, really weird thing about 'Moss and the German' is that it's based on something that actually happened (the audience back in 2007 would have recognised its origin).

Garth Marenghi's Darkplace is a classic cult sitcom, and has both Moss and Douglas in it as main cast members

Denham's death; Anyone who is old enough will be reminded of Robert Maxwell, who "accidentally" drowned from his private yacht under the same "pension fund" cloud.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Matt Berry. He's hilarious, and you should totally watch What We Do In The Shadows.

Trying to imagine Roy's reaction if he'd heard Jen say "He's a power bottom!"

Matt Berry is also great in What We Do in the Shadows. I'd strongly recommend watching the movie (which he isn't in) before hitting the TV show. They're both great.

It's Friday night, I sit down to relax, oh look, a new video! 10 minutes in, and Jen is laughing hysterically at a guy in a wheelchair. I feel like this bodes well for the weekend!

"There's somebody at the door" is from a UK children's TV series (or a couple of them) starring Rod Hull and Emu.

'the works outing' is, I think, the single funniest episode of anything I've ever seen

"I love Willy's" Jen 2024.... Honestly that episode killed me, I was crying with laughter and I think it's the most I've witnessed Jen laughing 😂

Richmond's girl at the dinner party is so funny.

This show is so hard to get people to watch but it is unexpectedly brilliant and hilarious. Not a second of time is wasted in this show-- every 5 seconds of screen-time has some purpose you can gleam from it. It reminds me of trying to get my friends to try and play Harvest Moon 64. It was such a great game. "Okay guys you gotta try this game!" "What's it about" "uhh.. well, you run a farm and-" "Ahh and you get attacked by aliens and have guns and stuff?" "...no, you grow crops. but you also have animals! like cows and chickens. You brush them and talk to them every day and they like you!" "and... they... fight for you, or?" "No, no, no. you can get milk from cows and eggs from chickens and then sell them. Eventually you'll have money to get better tools so you can farm faster and..." "okay but what else can you do?? it can't just be farming?" "No, of course not. You can romance the local girls and you can forage for berries, and upgrade your house so you can cook some great food, and fishing! There's a lot to be said about fishin why are you running away from me?!" harvest moon related story: I first rented it at blockbuster video and it had a save file at day 1 so I just assumed this was the default and played on. I did everything a normal and went to the village and bought every upgrade I could and bought everything I felt like and as many seeds as possible and went about my business making the best farm that was impossible. I had to return it to the store unfortunately and then a week later when I could convince my mudder to let me rent it again, It unfortunately wasn't the same cartridge, so I restarted... and... it turns out some legend had created a fresh save at day 1 and just loaded a gameshark and cheated infinite coins (or 999,999 or whatever) into the account and nothing else.. and then saved and quit so the next guy would have basically infinite gold in his playthrough. I had no idea. It wasn't until I got the game for christmas one year and played for months that I got back to the point that I got in that one week and was able to actually "finish" the game. (everyone gives up at like year 10 lol, and I got ocarina of time and majoras mask after that...)

I use the gif of Denholm walking out the window way more often than is good for one's mental health

I love how season two Immediately goes off the rails in the first episode. "I'M DIASABLED!..... LEG DISABLED." My coworker and I would see each other in the hall and just quote it all the time LOL!! My favorite episode.

I love it how this is making you crack up! ... I recommend "Coupling" from about 20+ years ago, if you like British comedy. It is a comedic compass to female-male relationships 😀

"Theres somebody at th door" Its from Rod Hull and emu, in the pink windmill, and old childrens tv program

"FAAATHEEEER!" What an entrance 😂

Just a little something to show my support Jen. Congrats again on 1.5k in the chat for the premiere, that’s amazing you deserve it for all the hard work you do to entertain us and this was one of your best reactions ever.

I love hearing your pure joy and laughing during this. Britain has some great comedies.

Really enjoyed this. Thanks Jen. Yes to more IT crowd & British comedy.

The guy who put an ad in a paper to eat a person is based on a real guy who did it named Armin Meiwes. He was German, and did find a volunteer (Bernd Brandes) who agreed as long as he could eat a part of himself first. They both dined on Bernd's severed man part before Armin ended Bernd and ate portions of him. Rammstein made a song about it called "Mein Teil".

My Friday evening just peaked! Taxi!

Denholm's rather... swift exit is one of the most underrated jokes in television. And then we get Matt Berry. And I love Matt Berry. I can't believe I totally forgot about Moss and the German. 😂

Gawd i love Matt Berry. Jen needs to add Garth Marenghi's Dark Place to the watch list after this

Yeah, the Work Outing is my favorite episode. Never heard Jen laugh so hard, it was so enjoyable to hear her laugh like that. Love this show. Love her reactions. Well done again!

I've been ill so I've watched Jen's reaction to this 3 times... so far

You might like Mighty Boosh if you like this. Maybe even "what we do in the shadows"

The Work Outing is the funniest TV episode ever of anything!

I would always do the "FAAAATHEEEEEEEER!" with my dad. 🤣🤣

I actually saw Kathleen Parkinson in the theatre. She was starring in Much Ado About Nothing at the National Theatre, in 2022. A brilliant performance, lots of physical comedy and a lot of Jen! You can find clips on KZfaq.

Moss and the German is probably one of my favorite episodes of any show.

The actor who plays Johan (the German) also plays a German officer in Band of Brothers. He's the one Winters allows to keep his sidearm when he surrenders. Philip Rham. The irony is, he's playing Germans, but he's actually English, born in the UK. The cannibal character he's playing here is based on a true character. Armin Meiwes. A German cannibal who placed an advert on the internet looking for a willing victim. Although Armin was a murderer as well as a cannibal.

You have no idea how much this made my day ❤️ Also great editing keeping a lot of the important bits while cutting out some filler. Great job on that! 👍🏻)

55:01 -- Funny you should mention that. One of my friends was going through resumes back in the late 90s for a now-defunct company, and I kid you not, someone actually put on their resume: "Acquired Magical Leather Armor in Ultima Online."

Jen's laugh is so contagious! 🤣

I am so happy you decided to continue and share. Thank you

This episode is my favorite of the series. That's saying a lot because I'm a big fan of this series. This day my wife and I do the voice and the I'm disabled and we always laugh. Also when the camera turns on Moss and he's tending bar I thought I was gonna pee myself. Terrific episode thank you for doing these I enjoyed watching it with you.

At 7:27 I have never heard Jen laugh so hard at anything!!!

“The work outing” might just be the best comedic tv episode ever written and acted in television history! It’s so well done I watch this episode once or twice every year! Easiest answer to the question: What do you think is the single best single episode of all time from any comedy tv show!❤🎉❤

Season 2 of The IT Crowd is one of the funniest comedies I have ever watched in particular episode 1 is comedy genius. Jen's reaction to this series is up there with her best. Keep on laughing Jen 👍

FATHEEEER! ✊

IT Crowd, Beer, Baldur's Gate 3, Guitar - you're my kind of awesome! Fun reaction!

This group of kids is the era of my younger brother. I was busy in college and didn't really focus too much on the culture then; being not too much different than the 70s but I enjoy catching this series for the 1st time with you, seeing how you react to the culture, enjoying the music. I believe in interviews the showrunners, the Duffer Brothers, have said they wanted to bring the magic of that time back into people's minds and it was a hit for that as much as for the story line. I do enjoy how you and Ash love movies from that era too. He's a lucky man. Great reaction Hannah!

Loving revisiting this. Yes, more British comedy please. Coupling is a must.

Father Ted is worth a watch, Graham Linehan wrote that too

As a smoker, the smoking gulag is truth. The German is about Armin Weiwes who did have someone over for dinner.

You can see when Jen just wants to have a fun good time.

I was there at Pinewood Studios for the shocking moment Denholm died! I cannot begin to tell you how nervous Matt Berry was on that night, fluffing lines etc but he turns into an incredible character going forward. The phone vibration scene was also something that had numerous takes as no one could keep a straight face!! 😂😂

I loved your reaction to these, Jen, I've just rewatched them all again from the beginning as I missed the start. I hope that you react to more of it and do the other seasons.

I love Richard Ayoade

Before the IT Crowd, Richard Ayoade and Matt Berry did Garth Marenghi's Darkplace. It's a brilliant take on low budget horror shows.

The actress who plays Laura Knightly in, The Work Outing, episode is Lydia Fox, Richard Ayoade (Moss') wife. Also the bald gay guy with the 'tache' who flirts with Roy at the end of the same episode, is Ash Attalla, the series producer. Also, also, the mystic who Douglas buys the rohypnol from in the beginning of the last episode is Graham Linehan, who wrote this, Father Ted and Black Books.

You had beers, I had bourbon... a good time was had by all! I can't wait for your reaction to season 3!

"Did someone else die?" Had me in stiches😂 The "Son" is Great in "Garth Mirengi's Dark Place". Speaking of original hiests Please check out the original "Italian Job"👍

If you are enjoying this, you would love "Garth Marenghi's Dark Place." It stars Richard Ayoade (Moss) and Matt Berry (Doug Reynholm)

"FATHER!!!!!" 😂😂😂😂😂

I really love the IT crowd.. it sort of resonates with me.. I would have loved to be working in this kind of environment. The setup and jokes were just chef's kiss

If you enjoyed Richard Oyeade and Matt Berry you might enjoy Garth Marenghi's Darkplace. It's a bit surreal. If you want more Graham Lineham writing then his earlier show; Father Ted is great too.

I never knew where the guy jumping out window meme came from before I saw this.

This was an amazing reaction, love this season!

Yes! I've been looking forward to you reacting to season 2! 🙌

R.I.P. Denholm! But welcome Douglas! Cheers!

"There's some-body-at-the-door" - yes, do it every time the doorbell rings...

The work outing is comedy genius, it just keeps hitting you with the belly laughs but “A FIRE AT SEA WORLD??” I am Looking forward to that

The sorcerer in Men without Women is Graham Linehan the creator and writer of the show. That was his cameo for series 2. He makes one cameo per series.

S2E1 of IT Crowd is imo the best episode of any comedy show ever. It's perfect!

Thanks for this one Jen, really made my day. Yes please to Series 3. It only gets better x

Along with IT Crowd, these are my favorite British comedies I would recommend: Father Ted (same creators as IT Crowd) Black Adder Red Dwarf

“There’s somebody at the door…” comes from the UK children’s tv show Emu's All Live Pink Windmill Show.

Yes Jen, keep going. You must get to the Internet.

"GARTH MARENGHI'S DARK PLACE" has Moss and 2nd season Boss . Richmond actor is in THE MIGHTY BOOSH.

The episode about the german putting an ad to find someone to eat... is actually based on a real case in germany where a cannibal put an ad in the newspaper to have someone to eat... and someone was okay with it... I think it went to court but i dont know the decision... but if you agree that someone eats a part of your body, why not lol

You are PROPERLY laughing your head off in this reaction! Fantastic!

Your laugh is awesome and contagious!!

So far this is among one of my favorite reactions.!

There's somebody at the door! There's somebody at the door! There's somebody at the door!

Fantastic! Was looking forward to season 2 with you Jen. Ok, finish work, get beers and watch IT Crowd with Jen. Cheers!

So much Fun! The show and your reaction!!!!

55:42 "Tramps" - US translation "hobos". Both rather antiquated words open to bending.

My friend is in a wheelchair and whenever he's on the disabled lift I cannot stop thinking about that episode.

The montage gag (59:10) with Douglas losing his hand was an homage to Roman Holiday (1953) with Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn. The crew reproduced a Roman sculpture called the Mouth of Truth. And the interaction between Moss and the trainwreck blonde (40:53) recalls Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966) with Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton playing a couple in a passionate feud. They were a real-life couple who married and divorced each other twice.

I think when Roy is in church screaming for a “frigging ambulance “ is one of my fave moments. All of season 2 and then season 4 are my faves. Thanks Jen!

Jen's laughter reinforces my belief that there is a God.

Season 2 of this series was maybe the hardest I’ve ever laughed watching any series for the first time through
