That opening scene was such a great parody of the real, frightening, voice-over anti-piracy bits that were on every VHS tape or DVD... at least in UK, Ireland anyhow. And on the DVD you couldn't even fast forward past it.
Frightening? More like ridiculous and over-the-top, lol.
We never had those here in Finland, we just got that one FBI splash screen 😢
@@SongfugelI’d say you were lucky 😂
Yeah was so annoying. You could forward it on downloaded copies though :P so basically they were like a punishment for people who actually paid money for the real DVDs. Just encouraged people to download more just to not have to watch it
Yes. It was bloody annoying.
"People, what a bunch of basterds" is probably mine and my friendgroups most used quote for well over 10 years now
You didn't react when Moss said, "He's a fine young cannibal", so, in case nobody's pointed it out yet, there was a British rock band formed in 1984, called "The Fine Young Cannibals."
I just got it watching this reaction. Love that song she drive me crazy.
Named after the 1960 film, "All the Fine Young Cannibals".
"Theres somebody at the door"
A reference to Rod Hull and Emu, in the pink windmill.
KB should react to the clip of Rod Hull and Emu in the supermarket, he’d love it x
There is someone at my work place who reminds me of Grotbags
See I’ve always said it but it’s obviously something I picked up when I was small but too small to know where it originated
i was looking for this exact reference in the comments, and I found it!
The public performances were mental - imagine anyone trying that on Oprah.
There was a real German guy called Armin Meiwes who advertised for someone to come and be eaten. A guy answered the add, and was duly killed. Armin was (oddly enough_) a computer repair technician. The German Metal band Rammstein did a song about it, and on stage one band member (the keyboard player ) gets in a giant couldron while the singer blasts it with a flame thrower. Great stuff to watch.
Yes, was just going to write this!
I think that story gripped the national so completely, that ever since then weve associated cannibals with Germans which really isnt fair, but it is funny too
Mein Teil - My "Part", being slang for.. well, you get it.
Meiwes is now a vegetarian, who tries to help people with violent sexual fantasies get help and not go down the same path he did
He cooked the guys severed penis, if I remember right he described it as very chewy. I'm sure he could cook but when it comes to cannibalism he was an amateur. If only he was as satisfied with tinned spaghetti as I am, no skill required.
The film Roy wanted to watch was 세미의 황당한 저주 which is the Korean name for Shaun of the Dead.
The guy at 33:00 has been in a few things. He was in a great comedy called Phone Shop and you may recall him as the Inbetweeners bar man who served Will when he bought "3 ciders and 3 carveries"
Phone Shop...I lasted one episode.
A owllllllll 😂
Will can't handle his alcohol without some meat and gravy.
@@stingersplashNeed to give it another go mate, especially when ‘new man’ joins 👍🏻👌🏻
@@stingersplash Phone Shop was legendary
i bloody love Johan you genuinely end up feeling so sad for him as well which makes the humour even darker and more hilarious.
and in the end credits the actor who plays Johan is actually playing the Cello and the man shouting in the Audience is Graham Linehan.
Richard Ayoade is such a funny guy, anything with him is worth seeing. His "real" personality is probably as socially awkward as Moss, but more knowing and dryly witty.
He presented a travel show called Travel Man, where he went on city breaks with other comedians and actors, which is great. The chemistry with some of them is fantastic - my favourite was the amazing Bob Mortimer, who he visited Hamburg with.
The main way to tell if he's playing Moss or not is to see if he has the parting in his afro.
Both Travel Man and his other show Gadget man are here on UA-cam.
He's not nearly as nerdy as his persona. He just likes friendship and flirting. Richard Ayoade and Aubrey Plaza should make wonderful babies.
Crystal maze too 👍
@@edwardbevington9351 I've never watched his Crystal Maze, do I need to? I'm not too bothered about the actual show, but I guess it often isn't really about that, as per the various comedy "game shows"
Now I know I've been watching too much British TV, because I somehow got the "Fine Young Cannibals" joke immediately, despite having no idea who that band is 😂
“She Drives Me Crazy” was quite big back in the 80s and 90s, might be one you’ve heard at some point!
@@1Pandemoonium OMG, I absolutely know that song! I don't think I ever knew who sang it, though. But maybe I've heard their name in relation to the song at some point; keep in mind I was born in 1990, so my memories of that song come from very early in my life, and from it being used in soundtracks where I wouldn't know the artist anyway 😅
Other big FYC hits were: Jonny Come Home, Good Thing and Ever Fallen in Love.
Fun fact: The drummer is a dead ringer for Arnold J. Rimmer.😀
@@speleokeir They also had success with a cover of Suspicious Minds (made famous by Elvis Presley).
That police detective was the guy who refused to serve Will at the bar in The Inbetweeners
Matt Berry who plays the boss is great in Toast of London.
Even better as Dixon Banebridge in Mighty Boosh.
“Yes, I can hear you Clem Fandango”
And 'Year of the Rabbit'.
@@speleokeirEh, I found that disappointing. All the funny bits were in the trailer.
Based off a real case. Armin Meiwes
Loosely.
I think we all know what was the threshold moment when Queen Boomer realised this is her favourite show..."I will murder you"! 😂
It's all coming together for her!
How can that 1st episode ever be beaten, funniest TV ever
The premise of the German cannibal advertising for someone to eat is actually a true story and this was a reference to that news story at the time.
The guy decided not to do it and they actually did watch Oceans 11 together 🤣
@@AutomaticDuck300 Original or remake ?
S2ep4 has to be my fave episode of IT crowd. Can't wait for you two to see it
I also think that The Dinner Party is the best ep.
Ooooh. Uuuh. Look at me. "Leaving a comment" on "UA-cam". =P
@georgercop you know when you type I can see the outline of your skull
"Yes, we're looking at you!"
2nd fav episode.
Glad you're both into the IT Crowd! If Queen Boomer likes goofy stuff Mr Bean is the next thing to watch. You will both love that show 💯
The policeman at the end was in After Life and also was the first barman in episode one of the Inbetweeners who served Jay but not Will (where there was a plot flaw because Will didn't need to get the other man in the pub to order food and alcohol for them because Jay could have done it as he was accepted as being an adult).
Jay probably couldn't be arsed 😂
So your name is Brett Clement..
He was also in a comedy series called Phone Shop. Boomer have you seen it?
Richard Ayoade is also in Garth Marenghi's Dark Place, a very surreal but hilarious sitcom. Matt Berry who plays Douglas Renholm is also in it. well worth checking out.
Fine Young Cannibals were a 1980s British pop/rock band.
The guy who plays Jeff, James Bachman, is in a lot of Mitchell and Webb sketches.
First! Thank You! King,Queen and Princess Boomer for all the good times!
If you guys want more Richard Ayoade (moss) in a real life setting, you should check out Travel Man. They have a channel here on UA-cam, it's basically a travel show where he goes around with british celebrities in foreign cities. They even did a few 'IT Crowd; specials where he's with the rest of the cast.
Yeah the cannibal story was based on a true story, just like in the episode (before he found a guy that actually went through with it) like Moss there was another guy who answered the ad but decided not to go through with it and they both actually went to the cinema to watch a film. This is an absolute true story I swear, utterly unbelievable and maybe the most disturbing story I have ever heard.
after all these years, i still do it when the doorbell goes off
I think when this was aired the ban on smoking indoors had just come into effect in England that same year, so the joke was very fresh for a ton of people.
My dad remembers the week it was implemented seeing a group in a pub chatting, one of them gets out a packet and the rest instantly notice and don't say a thing, she gets until the moment she's about to light up before realising and then running out to smoke while the rest giggle.
It's really cool, I actually went to see this episode being recorded. I'm part of the laughter you're hearing!
It was slightly odd for us all because we'd no idea Douglas had taken over the company and he just turns up at the start of the show.
I would have loved to be in the audience for this. It must have been amazing
Always love watching the 2 sorry 3 of you 😊 but very rarely comment. Richard Ayoade has a TV series called ' Travel Man' which is basically him travelling to different parts of the world with his famous friends - one show is with Chris O'Dowd ,Noel Fielding too others include many people you'll recognise from mostly British TV shows. No idea about copyright but it was originally commissioned by Channel 4
I think you'll understand what Richard is all about after watching a few of these. He's very precise in how things should be done etc. Take good care of yourselves 😊
A Big Fat Quiz Show without Richard and Noel can never be big and fat enough for my taste.
Love these watchalongs. Been binge watching loads of these. Great videos
You guys need to watch Blackadder!! From season 2 onwards. At very least the 4th season. Pinnacle of British comedy!!
I saw this episode filmed plus a couple of others that are coming up. Great experience!
When I worked at a restaurant I always went outside with the smokers. It wasn't fair that they had extra breaks! So I guess I was a second-hand smoker...
I wish you guys could watch Travel man. Richard Ayoade is just as awkwardly funny in real life. He is a national treasure
"There's somebody at the door, ting tong ping pong, there's somebody at the door!" ~ I love that you took the 'It's tinging it's way up the tube' tune from The Ricky Gervais Show hahaha!
Officer was also in guy Ritchie Sherlock homes. “Get him to the infirmary….now!!!” lol
Just caught up with your other IT Crowd reactions. Perfect timing.
I promise not to let Queen Boomer go up in my helicopter 10:23
I think light planes are the ones that are always in the news for crashing.
Seeing as you've mentioned 'After Life', and are watching and reacting to Plebs... have you noticed yet that the guy who plays Aurelius, the Water-boy/Water-man in Plebs, is the same guy who plays Ricky Gervais' character's depressed brother-in-law and boss in After Life?
The German character is based on a true life cannibal killer called Armin Miewes.
31:10 The only think I can think of that you've seen him in would have been The Inbetweeners, he was the guy who wouldn't serve them when Jay had the fake Australian drivers license, he kept going back and forth with will going "3 pints of larger, please", "ID, please".
He's been in quite a few things though, biggest role was probably in Phone Shop, which is well worth a watch! (it also has Simon's dad as one of the main characters).
He was right… he’s the bald guy in afterlife also 👍
The best is Dinner Party!
You should check out Toast of London, Matt Berry who plays Douglas Reyholm is hilarious as Steven Toast.
“Yes, I can hear you Clem Fandango”
'Toast of London' was hilarious but 'Toast of Tinseltown' was terrible.
Lol your impression of Reynholm when you said “I will see you later” in his voice is actually great, sounded just like him
i've been singing 'there's somebody at the door' for the past 15 years
That is the guy from After Life - but also the barman of The Black Bull in the Inbetweeners that debates with Will about liquor laws.
That may well be Matt Berry (Douglas) doing the video warning voice over at the beginning as he is an accomplished voiceover artist - a profession he sent up in the excellently silly "Toast of London" series (one for your list).
I second Toast Of London. I think the voiceover actor was Peter Serafinowicz. He also played the voice of the lift in episode 1 that says "Get out of the lift".
@@joeb2487Correct
“Yes, I can hear you Clem Fandango”
"Fire the nucular weapons"@@ercfx
MATT BERRY, DOUGLAS RENHOLM, IS HILARIOUS IN "WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS" AS HORNY VAMPIRE, HIS HORNY WIFE, TWO ROOMIES AND FAMILIAR... FUNNIEST COMEDY ON TV NOW...GOING INTO 6TH SEASON.😄😃😂😅😂😄😃😂😅😜😜😜
I love the way Graham Linehan, when he makes a joke, he really runs with it. The whole soviet thing could be a passing gag but he takes it right to end!
32:00 The police guy, (real name Andrew Brooke) has indeed been in Afterlife as you said King, he played 'Ratty' (Y)
that german must be a real well known artist and yes that is the guy from after life
I think my 2nd favourite episode has "Street Countdown", but I don't know if you'll get the references.
Fine young cannibals is a British band
Feel good comedy...enjoyed watching it with you.
There is a widely known myth in the UK that it is legal for a pregnant woman to relieve herself anywhere she likes including in a policemans helmet which was originally made from Cork and would I guess therefore be waterproof, which is i think where the bit about going to the toilet in a Policemans helmet originated from.
Inspired by the Armin Meiwes - Bernd Brandes case in 2001 in Hesse, Germany.
Yo, your fear of helicopters is totally justified. They have horrifying failure rates.
One of the best ones...and don't be scared of helicopters. Be terrified of cars, buses, bikes, planes, hovercrafts, etc.
And I love that the man plays the theme of the show on the cello at the end!
Such a fine young cannibal...
If you like the IT Crowd, you should watch Four Lions. It is directed by Chris Morris, the guy that played Denholm. It is nothing more than hilarious brilliant.
I think I remember you saying you loved Father Ted. Not sure if you know but the same guy who wrote Father Ted also wrote the IT Crowd too. Maybe you can see some comedy similarity now (if you haven't already found out that is). He's incredible.
Yes! Thank you! The poilceman is indeed Ratty from After Life. He was also played the barman in the first episode of The Inbetweeners.
Context for 'there's somebody at the door!'
ua-cam.com/video/I4xJvxSZ9aI/v-deo.html
Rod Hull and his hyperaggressive emu puppet (Rod and Emu), big in the UK in the 70s and 80s! Children's entertainer but also popular when he went on chat shows and manhandled the hosts via the bit of blue and orange cloth on his arm. Here's one of the more famous moments, when he had a go at veteran interviewer Michael Parkinson.
ua-cam.com/video/sqrg_VCPgAQ/v-deo.html
"There's somebody at the door", is from a kids show called the Pink Windmill in the early 1980s with Rod Hull & Emu & Grotbags the witch & i still do it & i'm 52!😅
Fine Young Cannibals = Famous British pop band of the 80s.
"there's somebody at the door" is a catchphrase from a UK children's TV show a couple of decades ago. Maybe even 1980's, I can't remember.
Not sure if you have seen it or not, you didn't mention it, but ''Derek' by Ricky Gervais some of his best work.
My dad quit smoking when he and my mom were visiting her relatives and they made him go outside to smoke (it was the 80s, smoking indoors was still somewhat common), and it was a horrible weather.
Yay, love these reactions!
that copper at the end was in the inbetweeners first ep as the bar man
Check out Garth Marenghi's Darkplace. Ayoade is great in that. He's playing a character kind of like Douglas Reynholm. And the actor Matt Berry, who plays Douglas, is there also and he's excellent in it!
Police Detective Was Main Character In “Phoneshop” Another Quality Show You Need To React Too 👌👍
That cannibal scene was based on a real life crime
A German guy put an advert online asking if someone would volunteer to be canniblized
And someone did
And the entire thing was recorded on video
I've heard it's very gruesome and sordid
...😂✌🏻🇬🇧
The actor who played the detective, Andrew Brooke, was in another absurd sitcom called PhoneShop, which you would probably also love.
I've still got the same telephone as Roy in my bedroom. Still works. It's called a British Telecom Ambassador I think.
Speaking of Afterlife, KB, Im not sure of you realised this but Tom Basden - Waterboy(man) from Plebs is the Newspaper boss and brother in law of Tony in that show too.
Yeah, S2E1 is a hard act to follow. If not for Denholm leaving, they likely would have made The Work Outing close S2.
I liked the T-shirt Roy wore that said “I see dumb people”.
32:50 The detective who you recognise was in the pilot episode of The Inbetweeners as the barman in the pub.
More about silly stereotypes. I'm from Canada but I can't ice skate to save my life. Hals uns Bein brocken, everyone!
great episode! well done guys!
That’s precisely how I started smoking while working on the line at Red Lobster back in the day.
You've gotta watch The Mighty Boosh after IT Crowd guys, it's weird, wacky and alot of fun. It's how Noel Fielding got famous!
Always instantly think of the techno mouse.
The next episode is the BEST!
You prob know that police guy (Andrew Brooke)as the barman from inbetweeners but he was in another great channel 4 sitcom called phone shop amongst many other things
The guy taking a dump in the policeman's hat was super hot 😍😍😍
Another brilliant reaction guys 👍
at 31:07 you might actually recognise him as the bartender from the black bull in the first episode of the inbetweeners.
I loved the helicopter crash conspiracy theory. That was in itself a good premise for an episode 😀
My wife and I do that "there's somebody at the door" dance every chance we get for 2 years now.
When are you guys going to start reacting to Absolutely Fabulous? There's some great physical comedy and classic one liners on that show. The "Death" episode is a particular favourite. In fact all of series 2. Would LOVE seeing you both react to that!
I can't wait for you to do the dinner party episode, you two are going to crack up!
.....There's somebody at the door. It's a good habit to get into!
Moss "Fine Young Cannibals" ref is a pop rock band from back in the 80's. 😂❤Reaction 👍🏼
Whenever somebody knocks on our door, I walk to the door the way Douglas does.
I’ve been doing it for about 7 years and my wife asked why I did it about a month ago.
Another fantastic episode!
haha I relate to queen boomer so much! I would never get in a helicopter for the same reasons and also have a bad habit of guessing twists out loud and ruining it for my husband.
So now I write my guesses on a piece of paper instead and give him it at the end lol
Only one time I actually paused the show (westworld) and said this is going to happen and then this, then played it and the exact scene played out (it was a fllashback where they were trying to get investors by showing them the robots and said guess which person is a robot). When you've seen/read enough stories you can often recognise the pattern
So... no problem in jumping in a parachute which I'm fairly sure Queen Boomer did once.
@@scipioafricanus5871 I'd never do that either 😅 she's so brave
I was the same . When the first boss jumped I thought that was the end of this show but Matt Berry is a genius.
This smokers' b-plot is one of my favourites pieces in tv.
Love these reviews.
Andrew Brooke (the cop) is indeed in After life. He's also in the Inbeteeners as the barman in the first episode. He has a small role in the Tom Cruise movie The Mummy amongst other things.
He's best known for his role in PhoneShop, where he is one of the main characters. It's made by the same company as the IT Crowd and Father Ted and is equally bonkers.
It is set and recorded in the corner of London I lived in for ten years. It captures perfectly, the multi ethnic, "street" culture which pervades that part of town. It's hilarious, I love it.
I hated Phoneshop. One episode was enough for me. I liked Emma Fryer though.
Everybody bloody says Andrew Brooke is in After Life. So what character did he play???
@@scipioafricanus5871 Ratty, as KB said, he's bald (shaven headed) in the pub. Hang on I'll try to find the episode details....
He's definately in season 2 episode 3 but I can see he has credits in two other episodes as well. Oh hang on, season 3 episodes 3 and 6.
I've only watched a few odd episodes in season 1 and 2. Must binge the full thing one day.
@@stingersplash I think having lived there, I could get beyond the first episode. Like so many of these shows, as it went on and the 2d charicatures fleshed out, it became more relatable and funny.
It's all subjective. One man's Dad's Army is another man's Q.
Yes, he’s Ratty in Afterlife.
