"VICTORIA! But I thought you were DEAAaddd!" I might just talk like Douglas Reynholm for the rest of my life. He may be an awful person, but his voice alone is my spirit animal.
"GOD..daamn these electric sex-paants." In my opinion, the best delivered line in comedy history. Loved Matt ever since I first saw him in Darkplace. Bloody hell, just looked it up: Darkplace was 10 years ago. Saying that, I almost died when I realised Jurassic Park was 20 years ago (21 years now). I feel old.

Finchy gets a couple awkward laughs but for me he pales next to Brent. Brent is so pathetic that it’s easier to forgive him even if he is near irredeemable. They explore layers to his characters and yes he’s unlikeable but his intentions aren’t as painful to watch as Finchy.
having seen this series multiple times over the years, I find myself quoting Douglas on a regular basis, even though most people don't get the references. one of the best TV characters ever written and Matt Berry plays it brilliantly
He knew he would do it himself and his option were window or gun. He wrote the note much earlier ad would have destroyed it if he used the gun. It's perfectly logical
I just love how he says "caricatures". And that child like drawing never fails to make me laugh. You can definitely see the Father Ted DNA that Graham Lineham brings to this show.
@nickthelick Blame Linehan. It probably would've just got a standard "dated presentation" disclaimer thing at the start if he hadn't started a mental Crusade online and made it an issue. There's a LOT of worse representations that still get regular repeats with no issues at all, but Linehan has made the whole thing into nuclear waste that nobody wants to go anywhere near, and I don't blame them.
I didn’t think they’d ever be able to replace Denholm after he jumped out of the office window over irregularities with the pension fund. It’s pretty rare that a replacement matches up to the original, and when Douglas made his dramatic entrance at the funeral I thought “oh shit, they’re trying too hard.” But it turns out they knew exactly what they were doing, with this macho, self-centred, shallow, feckless, tyrannical, unstable, ignorant, loud mouthed, ultra-sexist, borderline insane character. Matt blends these qualities and portrays them to perfection, It works brilliantly.
Pure ridiculousness seems to be very difficult to pull off effectively without going too far. The best comedies, the ones I love and rewatch are those that crank the absurdity right up to the edge and balance there perfectly. IT crowd, Mr Bean, Monty Python, Zoolander, Southpark, Malcom in the Middle. Its great when you have a relatively mundane world or otherwise normal set of characters to truly contrast the mad ones against.

Phoenix When you say “You guys” neither of us know the other personally first of all. Secondly, a small fringe ideal can very easily become the spirit of a state, to the great peril of it’s enemies. Lastly, there is no long term victory for anyone, you’ve had your day in the sun, society is as degenerate and rotten as it’s going to get, from simple observation both historical and current, these are the twilight years of the 19th century spirit of decay, and now is a time where it is washed away, and the cycle continues. It’s the basic philosophy of eternal recurrence. You enjoy your ‘freedom’ while it lasts, creature, you and yours will be for the crows soon enough.
Again, bla bla bla. It's just words. Words to tell yourself so you can believe that the world you want is coming and the world you see is ending. I'll tell you again; you're not scaring anyone. Go to a white supremacist rally, and see how outnumbered you'll be. Go to any major city, and see how surrounded by other cultures you'll become. Never in my life have I met as many white people that spoke Spanish as I have in these last few years. Never in my life have I seen as many interracial marriages as I have these last few years (and I'm in one of them!). This country is truly changing, and it's going to leave you behind. Sure, you can certainly get a gun, shoot a few children, wave a confederate flag and go to prison. That's what your ilk does best. But short of that, there's nothing you can do. Trump was your last shot, and to our great relief, he's incredibly incompetent. Bullet fucking dodged.
Some credit must go to Graham Lineham, who also created Father Ted, another iconic sitcom. the IT Crowd was great anyway but lets be honest, it got better when Matt Berry joined, he absolutely nails it in every scene, and that voice, oh my that booming voice, love it, what a genius! *Now wait a minute sugar tits...*
Couldn't agree less - thought the first season was excellent and Chris Morris played one of the funniest characters ever so well. Renholm was a relatively funny character too but Matt Berry was Terrible most of the time - way over-acted each scene and personally think he took away from the show in the end. Just my opinion though!
I had never heard of Matt Berry until he was cast in the upcoming What We Do in the Shadows TV show. Watching this video makes me realize how much I have been missing out on.
