The IT Crowd Season 2 thread

Episode 3 was pretty funny, with the piracy reference LOL.

this show is great, and hope it keeps going (Y)

too bad we don't get new episodes in Canada until later next year (i believe)... so you gotta watch them online

[RadishTM Veteran]

Had a good chuckle last night with the episode (Y) :laugh:

Radish?

[Lt-DavidW]

I don't know how interesting a comedy entirely focused on tech would be.

I don't mean 'entirely focused'. Series one managed it alright; with all the subtle references, EFF stickers, flying spaghetti monster posters, roy's shirts, and whatnot.

[qbie]

Well, roy did have the "meh" shirt on last night.

I know what you mean though, I was thinking the same thing. There does seem to be a bit more "office" humour though, I'm thinking a bit dilbert like, with the whole smoking thing last night.

[4CxbqFxVnstmA Veteran]

I dont know. I think they've got the mix about right. Light on the IT (boring) and heavy on the weirdness (yea). This is by Graham Linehan who did Black Books and Father Ted. Both of those also had two main male characters and one female one. Its weird, but there are similarities comedy-wise. I liked the russian oppression thing about smoking. :p

Actually though I didnt enjoy last night's episode as much as the other two. I find the canibalism thing a bit disturbing, and what was that bloke, some famous celloist or something?

[Nicholas-c Veteran]

loved the whole pirate thing :p

[mikebiacsi]

Loved the latest episode, the pirate bit was pure class. :laugh:

[YaZoR]

I don't find it that funny. Richard Ayoade is a good comedy actor, and enjoyed him in Darkplace/Dean Learner. He acts his part as how I presume it's meant to be, but he just isn't funny. I've worked forever in IT and when I first saw this I thought "cool, something I will relate to" but I find it mostly lame and over exaggerated played out jokes.

1. Ditch the canned laughter.

2. Bring back Chris Morris (Denholm).

1. Ditch the canned laughter.

It's not canned, there is an audience you can hear them on the outtakes of the first series DVD.

It's not canned, there is an audience you can hear them on the outtakes of the first series DVD.

Plus my mate saw a couple of episodes being filmed...

[randomnut]

Yeah it's not canned, it's filmed live at pinewood studios. Spot on so far this season (Y)

[curme]

Just because people are in the audience, doesn't mean they don't used canned laughter. When you add it to a studio audience, it's called 'sweetening' by the people who work in tv. Every tv show that has a laugh track sweetens their studio audience, some better than others.

Even 'Saturday Night Live' sweetens their audience laughter, and they are freaking live!

[Lt-DavidW]

A reminder to all that the next episode is at 10pm tonight.

[84Mark]

"Ha - memory *is* RAM" :laugh:

"Look Normal! More Normal! Relax!"

[Rappy Veteran]

This weeks made me laugh the most...was really funny and the Peter File bit was to good :laugh:

[ThePitt]

I think Im in love with the "Jen" skin. Great skin.

The ep was ok, not that funny like the previous but funny.

[Spookie]

Just grabbed this on 4OD. That Peter File part had me in bits.

Good episode.

The three of them trying to look normal was pretty amusing.
