The IT Crowd	comment	A Britcom written by Graham Linehan (of Father Ted and Black Books fame), set in Reynholm Industries: a prominent London-based corporation filled with "a lot of sexy people not doing much work and having affairs". Unfortunately for them, the "standard nerds" who make up the IT Department are not part of this glamorous world. Consigned to the squalid basement, they're looked down upon and disregarded by everyone else despite keeping the entire place running smoothly.Our main characters are Roy (Chris O'Dowd), a surly and slovenly comic-book fan who despises his job and the stupidity of those around him; Moss (Richard Ayoade), a naive and innocently-tactless savant with No Social Skills; and Jen (Katherine Parkinson), a twitchy career-woman with absolutely no grasp of technology but a smidge more social proficiency than the two geeks.Frequent guests included Chris Morris as the aggressively eccentric (to the point of complete madness) company chairman Denholm Reynholm, Noel Fielding as reclusive goth sys-admin Richmond Avenal, and Matt Berry as Douglas Reynholm, Denholm's extremely promiscuous son who appears in the second series to take over the business.The series is produced in the classic Britcom mode (as opposed to the more naturalistic style popularised by The Office (UK) and Extras), despite it going out of style in UK television. It has a loyal following and often did pretty well in the audience ratings, running for four seasons. Because the fifth season frequently hit obstacles, a final episode was made instead, airing in 2013.An American remake was commissioned with Joel McHale as Roy and Richard Ayoade reprising his role as Moss. It was leaked and can be found online.A German remake was also attempted, but ran for just two episodes.

The IT Crowd / int_3c0a4666	comment	Noodle Incident: In the second episode of the first series Moss and Roy reference an incident in which an unattended soldering iron caused a golf... I mean fire. One of Roy's girlfriends told him how her parents were killed in a fire. At a Seaparks, while watching a sea lion show, in a concrete, outdoor amphitheatre with at least a dozen exits. At this point, she refuses to go into further detail, and Roy spends most of the episode trying to figure out how it was possible. Eventually he does, after building a scale model of the amphitheatre - but before he can tell anyone, the model burns out of control, putting him in hospital, and he likewise refuses to talk about it. That time Moss lost his glasses in Amsterdam. This one is an inversion as the story he's actually not meant to talk about is the one about when they got drunk and decided to hire prostitutes, also in Amsterdam. He gives a full account of that story to the entire staff that attended the IT office party, but we never hear the glasses story which is the one that was fine for him to tell. "Do you think it would be helpful to role play?" "It certainly helped me learn how to buy sandwiches." (The incident not so much being the role play as whatever Moss did that prompted its necessity.)

It is sometimes missed by American audiences who might not realise this isn't just the British way of pronouncing it. Just listen to how Moss and Roy pronounce the word, and how Roy cringes every time Jen says it with the accent on the first syllable instead of the second. In one episode, Moss when recommended a family restaurant called "Messy Joe's" to Jen and Roy for their dates, Moss pronounces it "Meh-SEE-joes", causing them to think it's foreign. Moss also pronounces tapas as "tape-ass" and is very insistent that his pronunciation is the right one. The joke might seem like Hypocritical Humor to Americans and Spanish speakers given that Jen's correction may sound equally wrong to them, but it's the standard British pronunciation and so the creators almost certainly didn't intend it as a joke.

Upon each announcement, he says something that could potentially describe IT, only for it to be another department. Taken to extremes when he's filling the champagne glasses of Roy, Moss and Jen while talking about "these three people," - and then turns to the toilet cleaners. One wonders if he really had been trying to praise them while messing with them. He later sincerely thanks Roy in the corridor later in the episode, so it's possible. Inverted at the end of the episode, when the three unexpectedly show up at a work party at a glitzy nightclub, and Denholm immediately ditches who he's with in order to hang out with them.

Deconstructed and Reconstructed in "Tramps Like Us". Jen comes to the realisation that, as the only thing she does is take care of Moss and Roy and play Guitar Hero, she is wasting her life and potential in a dead end job. Roy points out that idea that he and Moss require babysitting at all is a bit insulting, as they're both grown men. By the end of the episode, however, Moss and Roy prove that they really do need Jen to balance out their lives because they're terrible at coping with real-life situations, and Jen finds the feelings of fulfillment in simply being needed by them (as she has no other skills to offer).

The IT Crowd / int_9dab0a6e	comment	Continuity Nod: While most episodes are fully autonomous from each other, the amount of continuity nods and in-jokes increases throughout the seasons. Somewhere between this and Brick Joke is the new emergency services number. Brought up and used for jokes in the first season, then not referred to again for two whole seasons. The "Did you see that ludicrous display last night?" conversation makes a comeback in series 4. Moss trying to kiss Roy to get out of situations involving the police. A minor one, when Jen applies for a new job, she references that she knows and is a fan of Guided By Voices, a band she admits she wouldn't know if she wasn't at the IT. This is a nod to the song "Game of Pricks", by the same band, that appears at the end of The Dinner Party episode. "Reynholm vs. Reynholm" has a bunch, including a reference to Douglas's fight with his transgender ex-girlfriend, Roy testifying about getting kissed on the bottom, and the return of Richmond. In the Season three episode "The Speech", Roy and Moss trick Jen into thinking the internet is a black box with a light on it. The prank works so spectacularly well that nine episodes later, in the season five special, she brings out "The internet" again. Roy realises out loud that they never told her it was a joke.

This enables her to get away with it more than they do. She frequently chides Roy for not being honest and telling the truth to the girls he dates, but she often weaves one enormous ball of lies after another (and she is not even good at it). Her attempt to convince Roy that nude female calendars are "empowering", after previously deriding them as sexist and sabotaging his attempts to photograph the girls of the seventh floor, due to Douglas threatening her job if the calendar didn't sell well.

To wit: Every piece of British 80s computer gaming nostalgia ever. The range runs from an Underwurlde poster on the wall to huge piles of Spectrum ZX81s to the menus from the DVD release being ripped off from Head over Heels. The menus of the DVDs are also shout outs in their own right: Season 1.0 menus have animations of the cast in ZX Spectrum graphics. Season 2.0 has menus including Tetris, Lemmings, Mortal Kombat and even a parody of the intro of Zero Wing, complete with Engrish! Season 3.0's Episode Selection menu has a Grow Cube-style, IT Crowd themed animation. Season 4.0's menus feature "levels" identical in design and gameplay to Windosill. In one episode, Roy tries to break up with an old girlfriend who wears a lot of make up which melts when she cries making her look like The Joker. The episode ends with Douglas hitting on her in the same manner as Heath Ledger's Joker hitting on Rachel Dawes in The Dark Knight, scars and all. Peter File's unfortunate name is a call back to a similarly named person in the infamous Brass Eye Paedogeddon special. The IT department's set is decorated with various Alternative Comics and their related merchandise: Figurines depicting Pogeybait from Eightball, Jimmy Corrigan from Acme Novelty Library, and Buddy Bradley from Hate. A poster of Jim Woodring's Frank hangs behind Roy's desk. Moss says that Johann is "a fine young cannibal." The audience audibly groans from this one. Roy has a framed Axe Cop poster prominently displayed in his flat. There's a poster of the Flying Spaghetti Monster on the wall somewhere behind Moss' desk. "And the first rule about Street Countdown is that you really must tell everyone about it." During a Channel Four news montage of people watching a viral video of Jen and Roy on their mobile phones in the special, one of the locations seen very briefly is Craggy Island Parochial House. The final episode has several internet references, including Anonymous and "Chitter", among other things. invoked In "Are We Not Men", Moss gets very annoyed with Roy for borrowing his red stapler. Douglas's narration in the very beginning of "Something Happened" references Kirk's opening narration from Star Trek: The Original Series. Jen's backup singer attire is a walking (and lampshaded) Shout-Out to Stevie Nicks. There's a Samurai Jack toy on a desk in the IT department. Roy and Moss's late arrival at, and consequent disruption of, a meeting is a direct lift from the Laurel and Hardy film Sons of the Desert. Freely admitted on the commentary track.

A real IT department for a company that size would, at minimum, have five employees, not including Jen or Richmond, and two or three of them would likely have responsibilities that don't include desktop support for employees. The act of "turning it off and on again" in itself, while being a suitable way to begin diagnosis of almost any computer-related problem, often won't be the sole solution to it, and further investigation will be required to nail down the fault and fix it.

This is done deliberately so that Jen, who has become a pimp-like figure, can tell Roy to "get out there and show those Johns a good time."

Throughout the episode, Jen tries to confront him about it, but each time, circumstances cause him to believe that she's a vengeful ghost haunting him.

He came up with a plan for using some translation software and suggested it to Jen. Before he'd even finished explaining the idea, he concluded it was a stupid idea and wouldn't work. Then Jen just spelled out the idea back to him and Moss realised it would work and congratulated her for coming up with it.
