Jen's TV Reactions: ua-cam.com/play/PLQHhQlj8i5dpS0ELbe5IwPIPBS0fhRtbu.html
This was so much fun it's a massive yes to season 2 from me 🔥💙🔥💙
YES every season gets funnier
Wait till Boss Son arrives in this show 😂
Some very funny eps in season 2
Yes please
To this day it's still one of my favorite go to shows.....
OH GOD YES
The fact that the female lead is named Jen is just icing on the cake. It's like this show is made for you. Definitely watch the rest!
"The Work Outing" Is one of the funniest episodes of TV ever made.
the dinner party also
@@AEnimikeFeeb Dinner Party is amazing
That’s the theatre one, right? That’s my favorite episode.
First episode of next series. Masterpiece!
My favorite is when he dates the "woman from Iran".
This show helped me survive 15 years in IT with some of my sanity intact. People often try to tell me "Oh i love nerdy characters, I watch the Big Bang Theory!" I then gently but firmly correct them and suggest if the want to know what REAL super nerds/IT people are like, watch The IT Crowd. So much better in every way.
You should read BOFH. Mandatory reading for anyone in IT. That's what kept my sanity going for decades.
Yes. I've been in several "IT Departments" at universities, schools, etc. They are ALWAYS in the basement, a converted closet (really!), or some other out of the way place that no one else wants to work in, and there were ALWAYS piles of equipment, parts, spools of wire, and usually a shelf with nerdy collectibles.
Yeah, IT/nerdy people are basically heavily autistic ADHD ppl
Big Bang Theory is jokes making fun of nerds. IT Crowd is jokes FOR nerds
I worked IT for a government contractor. We were in what was called THE DUNGEON. Basement floor behind two secured doors. No windows.
I went to many recordings at Pinewood Studios to watch "The IT Crowd" being filmed.
That is a real audience in the background sitting between 3-4 hrs watching the show performed live & the cast was always on top form. Happy memories 🥰
Oh, that would have been amazing.
Love the outtakes where you can hear the audience laughing at the slip ups. 🙂
@@KWHCoaster I was there for "The Return Of The Golden Child" & all I will say for now is "Can you get them a drink please Stephanie.." 😮🤣😭🤫 & "It'll blow my cock off!!"
The IT Crowd!!! I did NOT expect this. What a surprise treat!
My life for decades: “Hello, IT … Have you tried turning it off and on again?”
Did tech support for 8 years. This show is almost painfully real
The first time I watched that part I nearly spit out my drink,
Knowing that I more than once was probably one of the clueless and confused calling IT.....
Thank goodness I never got that part confused, but I always found it funny they did always asked that......
It only took them asking me that once for me to realize I need to do this every time before I call them ......
@@Unitedaerthe Our IT support centre had a voicemail for people to leave requests for assistance. It directed people to our knowledge base articles, mentioned if any systems were having problems, etc. I SOOO wanted to start the voicemail system with “Hello, IT … Have you tried turning it off then on again?” Like the tape recorder in the show. Back in the day we could even have programmed a DECTalk voice response system to say that, then if they followed up ask if it was plugged in … lol.
@@Unitedaerthe To be fair, I once called my cable company support line because my PVR / cable box was doing wonky things. Randomly jumping between channels, etc. I thought I had to get it replaced …. until he said “Have you tried changing the batteries in your remote”. (Insert Picard face palm image here). So even we IT professionals can be “that guy” on the other end of the line. The remote was working enough to turn everything on and do some things, but the batteries were too weak to properly do other things like change channels.
@@Unitedaerthe As to why we asked people to turn it off and on again, it’s because it worked! As people work with computers over time, it may use up resources, or some program you started a couple days ago might not shut down properly and may be messing things up, or any myriad of other problems could happen. Shutting down the computer then turning it on again resets all that and clears up most of the problems. It turns off unused programs, clears out and resets all the memory, closes any files the computer might be holding open on the hard drive, etc. I know of some people that never actually turned off their computer (they just closed their laptop and put it in “sleep” mode). A proper shutdown and restart periodically did wonders for their computer.
I actually just clapped when I saw this thumbnail. This is delightful news, I can't wait.
THIS WAS HILARIOUS 😂 SEASON 2 PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, JEN! 😊
"Father!!!"
@@Yora21 Unhand me, priest!
Well this is a pleasant surprise lol. This is one of my favourite comedy shows of all time. I think the cast is absolutely perfect, the comedy still makes me howl with laughter to this day...and that theme song has always been utter fire. 🔥
This is among my favorite British TV shows! Yes please to more of "The IT Crowd". 😀😀👍🏻👍🏻
Yep, this is my favorite also! Some of my other British favorites are "Coupling, "Jekyll", and "Misfits".
_The IT Crowd_ got better with every series. Yes, keep going. Series 4, in particular, features a great bit 🤫
Also worth watching: _Spaced_ (1999, 10 eps) - the classic & influential nerd culture-centric Simon Pegg/Edgar Wright show.
Yes, please watch Spaced! Love the IT Crowd as well.
Yeah, make a big push for Spaced. It's so short I've regularly watched the whole 2 series' with friends while having some drinks, it's very easily digested.
...and Father Ted.
Please, PLEASE watch Spaced!
"...hullo Brian"
@@Dylan_Platt Come back in one piece Brian... You know the piece I mean...
My boyfriend who passed away absolutely loved this show. I could never get him at all into the Big Bang Theory, but this one was his gem.
I'm sorry for your loss 🌹
I love that you reacted to this, Jen, it gets even funnier as the series progresses, better with each season. Hopefully you'll react to season 2 and onwards. 😊
"He was certainly the villian of the piece ..." has been part of my venacular for years now.
This was a wonderful surprise and soon as the title theme kicked in your reaction made it clear this was going to be so much fun with lots of laughs and it didn't disappoint . This was great 😃 cheers Jen you always pick the best shows 🔥💙🔥💙🔥💙
Yes! Jen is watching the IT Crowd! With Jen! Please watch all the seasons! Such a wonderful show, so many laughters, so many belly aches from laughing! This is real IT, and if you’ve worked there, you know 😂😂😂😂
Here's hoping foe Season 2. Fatheeeeeer!
Another video...I see.
Actually, I don't follow
Maybe then on to "toast of london".I've only heard on Matt berry recently and I think he's brilliant.
@@s.henrlllpoklookout5069 SPEAK PRIEST!
Unhand me, priest!
It’s been years since I’ve watched this show. Can’t wait to revisit it with Jen.
Your reaction to finding out her name is Jen was so cute 😊❤
Oliver Chris, the man that played the security guard Daniel in the third episode, is in another really funny British show ‘Green Wing’. I think you’ll like it, too.
Yes! Green Wing was amazing
You should definitely try and watch Garth Marenghi's Dark Place. Its 2-3 years before IT Crowd and has a lot of the same actors before they were all semi famous from being in the IT Crowd. Richard Ayoade was a co-writer on Garth Marenghi and the IT Crowd director appears in a few episodes as well.
After 35 years in IT I can tell you a lot of this rings hiariously true (or it did 30 years ago - times have changed). You should keep watching Jen, it gets even better very soon. 🤣
as a current I.T. Person, no it hasn't changed really, just the actual things you turn off and on again have.
@@miff227 heh, true. I was kinda referring to the times when we used to do board level diagnostics, and built our own cables etc. “Did you turn off the soldering iron”. 🤣
Thanks Jen for hitting on this awesome show! I will to be enjoying every hilarious episode with you 🤣 👍
Wow what a great surprise! it's 1:20 AM here and I was about to call it a night, then this comes up in my feed, I guess sleep can wait! thank you for reacting to this great show!
1.30am here and experiencing the same situation!
truly EPIC thumbnail showing just how flipping hilarious this show is 😂
If you liked The IT Crowd then you'll love these:
The Mighty Boosh - has Noel Fielding and Matt Berry and Richard Ayoade. Classic comedy.
Spaced - Before the Cornetto trilogy there was a 2 season show called...Spaced. Same actors and director.
Garth Marenghi's Darkplace - has Matt Berry, who is also in The IT Crowd S2.
And if you're feeling super ambitious you could try out Luxury Comedy - it's Noel Fielding's weird surrealistic artsy experimental show. I love it. But it's a bit out there.
THIS IS AWESOME!!!
These three were also in a cool comedy movie together, Richard Curtis's The Boat That Rocked (2009). All-star Brit cast, worth a watch on yer own time if ya just wanna sit back with the hubby and have a goofy grin on and flake out to.
So excited to see you react to this. If you want more Richard Ayoade goodness, check out Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace, it really is one of a kind
Darkplace is the pinnacle of British Comedy imo
Travel Man, short trip travel show.
I love the IT Crowd. If it helps, I think the first episode of Season 2 is one of the best episodes of all time. Its one where they go for a night out at the Theatre. This show is written by one of the creators of Father Ted, which is another much loved UK comedy that you might wish to check out.
What a pleasant surprise.....So friggin cool that you're watching this! One of my favorites.
The middle one of the Mexican singers was Graham Linehan, principal writer of IT Crowd. Father Ted, Black Books, etc.
I am so, so happy you are watching this!! One of the best British comedies ever made. Richard Ayoade (Moss) is incredibly funny. I think you would also really enjoy 'What We Do In The Shadows' both the movie (which came first) and the tv series.
Loved this reaction! When I first saw the show, I couldn't believe that the co-host of the Great British Bakeoff was in this! I would definitely watch reactions to this!
Here's more classic comedy's Father Ted done by same creator who did The IT Crowd , Blackadder , Alan partridge, Fawlty Towers, Only Fools and Horses, Extras
Richard Ayowade (sp?) is magical and effortlessly hilarious wherever I see him ❤️
Effortlessly hilarious is the perfect way to describe him
Thanks soooo much for putting this on your channel!
Absolutely laughed my butt off with you!!!
Never heard of it before, and saw your season 2 reaction posted, so glad I checked it out!!
I was even drinking a beer (corona) along with you!! Hehe
When Judy sees Roy on the streets it is a reference to the 1978 version of Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
Got a shiver watching this today - with Judy (ep 5) doing the famous Donald Sutherland meme just a couple of days after he died.
RE: Old School TV Production Values; Hey Jen! Fun Fact for you about the IT Crowd. FIlmed in front of a LIve Studio Audience. That's why it's so incredibly funny, the cast had to rehearse it for actual catharsis. Glad you're discovering this!
100% can confirm this. "The IT Crowd" was filmed at Pinewood Studios & I was in that audience many times.
Most British sitcoms (Some US) usually try to keep the audience track from the studio in the edit but if an audience laughs through a characters next line it has to be shortened which gives "the canned laughter" effect.
There is a large attempt at trying to keep the audience laughter in the record otherwise what's the point of filming in front of an audience really
Man, first TNG reactions. Now IT Crowd??!! Your channel is one pleasant surprise after another.
yessssss.... now watch snuff box and garth marenghi's dark place!
Not only do you have a good taste in sci-fi, with Star Trek TNG, you 'get' the british humo(u)r with this great comedy series too :) Keep going Jen, as you will surely like the following series too ;)
The boss, Denholm Reynholm, is played by Chris Morris, who also created and starred in the shows The Day Today - a satirical news programme - and BrassEye - a spoof current affairs documentary programme. Both were very acerbic and controversial and utterly brilliant.
The Red Door and The Haunting of Bill Crouse are still two of my favorite episodes of television ever. They're so good.
Not only should you definitely check out season 2, uhhh, I think you'll be in it through to the end. Season 2 steps up in a big way.
I want a mug with Moss's mug on the bottom. Also guys totally get monthly emotionaly cycles.
Moss is one of my fave characters ever. When he is uncomfortable he is amazing.
if you're a fan of Ayoade i'd highly recommend Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, if you haven't seen it
Moss buying slacks 👖 or Roy thinking he’s gonna die in church always crack me up.
One of My favorite shows of all time, love your watching it : )
Nice surprise :). The trouble with "Have you tried turning it off and on again ?" is that it _does_ actually fix problems surprisingly often so when you work in IT there really is no escaping it.
(and yep, "the two-fingered salute", "the Vs", "the rods" etc. basically means "up yours", our version of the middle finger though the influence of the US being what it is, we use the middle finger too :)
This show has the best episode ever at the start of season 2!❤
Fun show, Jen. I'd definitely enjoy watching more of it with you. Thanks!
I've never seen anyone else react to this. One of my all time favorites. Very nice!
In Fifty fifty the main mariachi player is Graham Linehan the creator and writer of this show. He makes one cameo per season so keep your eyes open for him.
"WE'RE ALL GOANNA DIEEEEEEE!!"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was so excited, and happy, when I saw the thumbnail today, because this is one of my absolutely favorite British TV shows, let alone a favorite show period. I think you’ll really enjoy it.
😂it crowd on that Rez is next level Shinanagins LOL
First Nation's R relevant to the crown ???????
I hope
The IT Crowd is one of my absolute favourite British absurdist comedy series. Very 'Father Ted' : )
My favourite episode is the one where Roy uses the disabled toilet... absolute comic genius! I'm giggling just thinking about it : ))))))))
BTW Jen, have you reacted to _"Derry Girls"_ ? The Irish accents might take a little getting used to, but it's funny AF.
Haha, this is the best! So glad you enjoyed it so much... one of my favourites. Definitely keen to see some more, and confident you'll enjoy the other seasons similarly to this one. :)
This is my favorite show of all time! The theme song was my ringtone at one point
Oh wow, of all the things to react to, I never expected this! My worlds are colliding!
I appreciate how much you enjoyed hearing "Jen" in a British accent and I think Moss was everyone's favourite in this show. :)
It only gets better from here on out.
Looking forward to hearing/seeing you use "flip" in future reactions. I always liked to use "flipping heck" but being a cockney dropped the 'H' so it was "Flippin Eck".Sadly stopped when I learnt more adult curses.somehow I miss those days
I like the fact in their first scene Moss is actually saying the user should.... turn it off and on again, it's just that he was using jargon so most people miss it. lol
I never thought I’d ever see Jen react to this show, but I’m so glad she did. Hopi g she reacts to Series 2 - there’s some blinding moments in that. Thanks Jen. Made my weekend!
this is THE best British show EVER!!! i just wish there was more of it...
It gets better and every season is amazing
As a retired IT manager I can honestly say that this series is more accurate than anyone would ever want to admit. Ohh the good ole days. Thank you for the reaction. I've always thought this was a great show, and suprised that so few react to it. Thank you!!
Yes I remember this, I was just pure off the wall fun then, and rewatching it with you reminded me of how good it was. The whole series was like this, I would love to see you do more of this, many classic comedy lines in this. Thanks for the review, I enjoyed watching this with you.
Fantastic show that gets better and better
I love this show! Glad you’re reacting to it! ❤
Cradle of filth is a real British black metal band with a song called coffin fodder btw. ⚰️
The man who plays Daniel (Fifty Fifty) played another sitcom character called Cpt Nick in BBC sitcom "Bluestone 42" which was about a British Army bomb disposal detachment in Afghanistan.
I actually think it was quite good & Capt Nick was my favourite character
23:25 - Moss talking aboot the referee "He was definitely the vilian of the peice."
I an not a sports fan. I still use this line with sports fans.
I have never seen this before, hilarious. I was planning to head out and get some dinner, but you had me mesmerized. Back to my holiday :).
One of my all time fav shows ❤❤❤
British sitcoms from this period are something else. I'd also recommend 'Black Books', 'Coupling' 'Peep Show', 'Spaced' and 'Green Wing'
How is Garth Marenghi's Darkplace not on that list :p
@@laurensb1b I think that's probably the next level down on the iceberg, heading away from your standard sitcom and more towards abstract alternative comedy like 'The Mighty Boosh' and 'The League of Gentlemen'.
While I was getting my PhD in chemistry, my advisor’s favorite reply to most of my questions was RTFM.
All good comedy comes from the UK - from an Aussie who appreciated good comedy.
29:22 "I hate clowns" and the side eye 🤣
🤫
I can't wait until the "Countdown" episode! Love that one, Moss is hysterical.
The outtakes are really good for this show. They obviously had a lot of fun on set.
I'm so glad you watched this! I'd probably put this in my top five favorite comedy shows. I definitely think you should keep watching it and reacting to it!
Yes!!! I love that you did this!!!
Love to see more of this show.
40:14 Yes! It was my ringtone for years. 😆
"Have you tried turning it on and off again?" One of my favourite work coms, and my pals who've worked in IT have stated that it's pretty similar to their daily jobs, minus the wacky hijinks!
I'm a network engineer. I manage all the computers that move the data packets between computers. Everyone LOVES to blame the network for any and all problems. 95% of my job was proving that the network wasn't the issue.
So glad you’re watching this! The guy that presses the profanity button in “Calamity Jen” is called Danny Wallace. He’s written a few books, one called Yes Man that was turned into a film starring Jim Carrey and Zooey Deschanel. I’d recommend it if you’re looking for something to react to 🙂
It's one of my favorite sitcoms. Love this show. I am glad someone is reacting to it.
YES! LOVE this show
One of the most quoted series in the world. It is just so brilliant (and relatable when you are actually in IT ;-) ).
One bit of trivia, the bit when moss and Roy go to the stress seminar/talk and going through the gaps of the chairs and sitting and moss moving his chair and hitting Roy's fingers is tribute/homage to Laurel and Hardy's film sons of the desert where they did the same thing at the start of the film. Worth watching if you haven't seen it
This show is the only one with a laugh track, that I will gladly watch
One of my favorite shows of all time. Me and my friends bonded over this throughout high school as each season released. It's fantastic all the way to the end, you should watch the rest!
Interesting note. In 50/50, the middle 'Mexican' in 'Messy Joe's' is Graham Linehan, the writer of the series.
In my repeated viewings, I always get amazed by the set designs. Roy's tshirts are just top notch and the posters on the walls as well. Notice EVERYONE except Roy wears business formals but Roy always comes to office as a rebel
YES of Course! Season 2! Let's go!! Have at it!!
I am SO glad you have found this show! I've been a fan for years.
YES to season 2!!!!
Never even heard of this show, but it's pretty hilarious. Richmond cracked me up. Hope you keep reacting to it. 👍💯
There are 4 seasons and they are all amazing! You can't stop now. They keep getting better and better.
I think the vote for all the seasons reactions would be unanimous, Jen!
