The IT Crowd : Funniest moment?

Funniest moment?

What do you consider the funniest moment/situation out of all the episodes? For me it's when Moss throws the coffee to Roy thinking it's empty for a joke when it isn't, followed closely by the Gay musical.

Re: Funniest moment?

When Roy is being elevated to the bus while he's in a wheel chair and also in the same episode Jen sees Roy in the wheelchair and goes to the bar to get a drink and Moss is the one who's bartending.

Re: Funniest moment?

Ohhh and when the guys say Jen's date look like a magician and they cut to the guys face lol...I had to rewind it see that part again.

Re: Funniest moment?

When Jen tells 'The News' to let her in.

Re: Funniest moment?

lmfao oh my god im reading though what people put and its making me laugh remembering the parts.

I gotta say though, the episode where roy was disabled was just beyond hillarious. Everything about that episode.

Moss getting bullied was so funny too. "its just too real roy!"

What about richardson? He was so great. Too bad he got scurvy. lmao when was the last time anyone even got scurvy?? "An actual Cradle of filth? ew thats horrid"

Re: Funniest moment?

Can't believe no one's mentioned when everyone thought Jen was dead and the guy is saying how he slept with her, then she "floats" past his office screaming!! I was laughing so hard I had to pause it for a few minutes!

That whole episode is pretty awesome.

They're eating her! And then they're going to eat me! Ohhh myy GAAAAAAAAWWWWD!!!!

Re: Funniest moment?

For me funniest moment was in the episode when Moss gets a concusion and can't remember anything about computers. He then gets an electric shock from Doug's anti sexism pants, flies across the floor, and as he comes to a stop there is a close up of his face and his eyes slowly open and the windows boot up music plays...

My sides still hurt from laughing at that.

Re: Funniest moment?

In the Countdown episode where the chap introduces himself to Moss. He's trying to be all mysterious and does that trick where you blow on your fingers and make a business card appear. But he does it so badly that it's hilarious.

Then when he attempts to 'slide' sideways out of the doorway and just ends up shuffling off awkwardly.

Brilliant.

Also: 'I wasn't arksing you, I was arksing him'.

Re: Funniest moment?

Completely agreed. Unfortunately Roy's plotline (oh no, an ugly woman, how vile!) was pretty tasteless, but Jen's is just -- so well concieved, so perfectly executed. You can really see influence of farce in British comedy.

Re: Funniest moment?

that one is sooooooo hilarious, loved it

Best episode ever!!!!!

Re: Funniest moment?

For me personally, this line right here!

Re: Funniest moment?

I would agree with the above. i was in tears when roy explains to jen why he is in a wheel chair and jen turns round to get him a drink and moss is there. so funny


"Life's just a bus stop to somewhere infinitely better"

Re: Funniest moment?

I completely agree with all of you!!

I'm catching up on this series on Netflix and I just finished "The Work Outing" (Gay Musical) episode and I'm crying from laughing so hard. It was seriously the best episode I've seen so far.

"I'm disabled."

Re: Funniest moment?

Definitely the funniest moment. I nearly burst an internal organ laughing.

Re: Funniest moment?

Yes the Roy in the wheelchair with Jen being disgusted only to turn to see Moss as the bartender was the best timing.
Also at the end when her date finally admits he's gay but was hoping it would work out with her because he thought she kind of looked like a guy. Lol

Re: Funniest moment?

Yes, that exact moment - I was already laughing so hard about Roy with his pitiful "I'm disabled," and then when Jen turns to see Moss in his bartender outfit, I just lost it, it was SO funny and the best timed moment ever!

Re: Funniest moment?

topped off by Moss destroying a pyrmid of glassware behind the bar!

Sallah, I said NO CAMELS. That's FIVE camels. Can't you count?

Re: Funniest moment?

Yes, I need to rewatch this series again! I can't believe I never heard of it until a few months ago after a co-worker showed me a YouTube clip of it.

Re: Funniest moment?

This...the lift slowly going up, and then down, and Jen's asking how Roy became disabled (with his silly answers) and then the perfect cut to Moss.

Now when I pass a handicapped bathroom I hear Moss' voice exhorting, "You can't go in there. It's illegal!"

I saw that one twice, and even though I knew what the gags would be, I still laughed out loud, and am smiling now as I think of it.

Genius!

^ those

Roy's face when he was being lifted on the back of the bus was priceless. Then they topped it when the manager rushed out and said "You've all been invited backstage" so Roy had to descend at the same, painfully slow, rate. Brilliant.

Re: Funniest moment?

mine oddly enough is quite simple. when the bomb squad says the OS is Vista then Moss looks to Roy and says "We're going to die Roy!" for some reason I find that so freaking hilarious.

Re: Funniest moment?

Probably because its lampooning Vista!

My favourite episode by a long shot is The Work Outing, but my favourite individual scene has to be: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBmN_tisl9M

Re: Funniest moment?

That killed me.

Where are the GD garden lanterns?

Re: Funniest moment?

Re: Vista Same goes with getting an iPhone without having to give any money to Apple. "I'd be living the dream." This show is excellent at calling out popular sentiment.

It is so hard to pick an absolute funniest moment as there are so many that are 9.9+

My son loves "I've got a ruddy gun!"

Re: Funniest moment?

I work in IT, and that is probably my second favorite moment. His delivery of lines is just so perfect.

Re: Funniest moment?

My favourite episode was the Gay musical. I laughed so much in that episode, I was just crying all the way through it. Especially the songs.

Re: Funniest moment?

Jen: "OK, Moss, what did you have for breakfast this morning?"

Moss: "Smarties cereal."

Jen: "Oh my God... I didn't even know Smarties made a cereal."

Moss: "They don't. It's just Smarties in a bowl with milk."

I nearly wee'd myself at that last line.


Also,


Moss: "Oh, uh, FOUR! I mean, FIVE! I mean, FIRE!

Re: Funniest moment?

Yes, that was hilarious - just Smarties in a bowl with milk, OMG, that makes me laugh just thinking it in my head!

Re: Funniest moment?

The best of the best is possibly the scene with Roy and Moss role-playing as to how to handle bullies in the park.

Others:

News interview about Iraq with Moss. The scene with Roy eating and drinking while the phone is ringing on his desk (especially the moment when he's seemingly grabbing for the phone but actually picking up the cup).

Also the Hitler scene "it was a just a woman... now please come quickly".

"Hot tits" was cool as well.

Not easy to nail it down to one particular scene.

Re: Funniest moment?

The wheelchair part is my all time favorite scene. Followed by the Denham stress scene. One that hasn't been mentioned is the A-team bit. I found that hilarious!

Re: Funniest moment?

I'm pretty much in agreement on the wheelchair bit. Roy's humiliation was priceless. The buildup to Jen talking to Roy only to find Moss working concession was brilliant. Plus, the the guy finally admitted he was gay because she casually mentioned the magazine (not even interrogating him anymore) was just icing. I do think it's the best episode of the series.

The cup bit was pretty great too! I didn't exactly mind Roy being shirtless for most of that episode.

I'd also have to add Roy slapping the cop to avoid him spoiling the movie. Also in that same episode, "I have to go to the toilet," "Then go." The reveal that it's only a few feet away was perfect.

I'm surprised no one brought up Moss giving Jen the internet. Honestly, that had me in stitches.

Re: Funniest moment?

"This, Jen, is the internet."

That epsiode is one of my favourites, and the whole scene with Moss and Roy showing Jen the internet was priceless.

Re: Funniest moment?

The bit shortly afterwards, where the fight crashes through the wall and crushes the "internet", Graham Linehan himself pops up and screams: "OH MY GOD WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!" had me in stitches!!

Re: Funniest moment?

how about the guy in the closet! he's soooo funny!! ohhh the boss's funeral!! lol, or when moss gets on the gameshow then has to battle the dude in parking lot!! lmao. ohh even the first episode lol. love this show.

Re: Funniest moment?

The Heat breakdown was so great and then when he mentions he thought he could make it work because she sort of looks like a man(callback), my sides went to outer space

Re: Funniest moment?

When Roy is tutoring Moss on comebacks after he is getting picked on by some bullies at the park

Roy: NICE GLASSES
Moss: Yeah, well, mabey the reason that I wear glasses is...ughh....cause I suffer from SHORTSITEDNESS! and I ca-can't wear contacts...because I'm...SCARED OF TOUCHING MY EYE!

Always gets me in stitches :D

Re: Funniest moment?

THe countdown one with the countdown groupies. I laugh just remembering it.

Mentor: You've been challenged to Street COuntdown (gasps)
Moss: What's street countdown.

Mentor: - well - it's like ordinary Countdown - but you can get a bit cold.

:-)


And Moss getting into the crane booth game to get the iphone.

"Y0u don't understand Jen - I'll be getting an iphone without haveing to give Apple any money.
Itt's living the dream!"

It's hard to pick one out - Douglas buying the 'love potion' from the old Shaman -
and the Richmond episodes.
I loved those too.

Or Roy and Moss trying to speak 'football' in the pub.

Loved the whole thing actually.


Re: Funniest moment?

Damn these electric sex pants!

This whole scene is one of my favourites:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxEd19OwtNw&feature=related

Re: Funniest moment?

all the parts where Roy was going mad trying to figure out how his girlfriend's parents could have possibly died in a fire at a sealion show

Re: Funniest moment?

The episode where Douglass teaches aerobics.

Re: Funniest moment?

Might be my favorite episode.

Where are the GD garden lanterns?

Re: Funniest moment?

My favourite scene is the "soviet" smoking scenes, and the dramatic journey to the "new smoking zone."

My favourite moment is when Richmond gives Renholm's mother the Cradle Of Filth CD, and the camera just looks at Renholm's face. His look is just so.... any words to describe it?
