The IT Crowd - Series 2 - Episode 4: Dinner party

A loved-up Jen has to decide whether to invite her 'nut-job' friends to the dinner party.

[PuissantAlgernon]

It's like the Big Bang Theory, but funny.

[yolo]

'Nut jobs? I hope you're not including me in that!' hahaha

[madperson]

Brie-lliant xD That is exactly the sort of joke that my sister would be proud to make!!!

[boyoboyySH]

It's actually 0118 999 881 999 119 7253 not 0118 999 811 999 119 725 3. Knowing the difference could be a matter of life and death!

[theQuestion]

"I can't let you nutjobs into my special place!" Cute Jen, real cute!

[striderm]

That little nod Moss gives Roy after trying that joke is fantastic.

[Torahamutaro]

I've never heard of this show before, but anything involving Noel Fielding and Richard Ayoade HAS to be brilliant. I'm definitely going to be watching more clips. :)

Richmond <3

I think my smile got reasonably bigger at 0:20. xx

[Deliriousity]

Richmond's not dead...he just got scurvy! Treatable, so we could very well see him again. The real issue is if Noel has time...

But Douglas is awesome. Would love to have them all back in series 4.

After Jen mentions that she is going to Paris. Richmond says "Brie?", which is a french cheese. She seems confused by his comment. That is when he makes the comment about Double Gloucester. It's not supposed to make sense, but shows how Richmond's strange mind works.

For all those asking.. the song at the end is "Game of Pricks" by Guided With Voices. You have now been educated.

[Dillysus]

I think the best part is when Roy, Moss and Richmond trying to act normal. Gosh I lol-ed! Its really funneh!

[Vannereveilar]

stop it.. says Roy :) haha..

its funny joy changes human perception..

[allthingshollywood]

I loved that episode when Moss recommended Messy Joe's to Jen.

[RJTheCerealGuy]

This episode was so nostalgic for me having the lady from horrible histories in here

[HadyaMansour]

it's just not as good without richmond, still awesome but feels like something (someone) is missing now

[rosajimenez]

Best show ever made man! It's just perfect for Gen Xers

[Deliriousity]

@captainalbator REAL nerds? Hey, it's a comedy show...not a documentary. I always thought this show had more of a surreal edge than traditional sitcoms like BBT.

And the references here are usually subtle (Check out the plethora of goodies on the desk & shelves) and "computer geek" related. But, the humor relies more-so on character quirks (C'mon, Moss is win!) than countless pop culture shout-outs...

Different strokes, I guess. The writer & actors in this are all near perfection for me.

[Deliriousity]

@captainalbator I'm American and like both of those shows...but definitely prefer IT Crowd to Big Bang Theory. It's just a more clever show all around, and builds really great characters & funny scenarios without completely falling back on the usual "nerd" stereotypes. I'd hate to see how they attempted to rework it for the US pilot.

Plus, this show did actually do the "geeks w/ pretty girl next door" storyline first...

I just googled richard ayoade. I think it is real - every single picture of him has some kind of moss-like hair in it.
