Been watching IT Crowd since it started... I was tipped off about it by a friend in Sweden...love it.  Some of it is a little hokey...but British comedy is like that lol.  It has replaced AbFab for me :)

This is an ad for a British chocolate bar but I promise it will make you smile...well, smile...or freak you out.  Suitable for children and small animals of a nervous disposition.  It can also be seen here on YouTube where it is quicker to load, but lower resolution.

If it doesn't make you smile you are dead from the hair follicles down, if you're bald then...you're just dead.

If you liked the chocolate ad you may, just may, be English enough to survive watching the The Mighty Boosh

It's a bit mad!!!

Glad you liked it, it's one of those ads that is funny in any country.  I think I must have been botoxed as there is no way in hell my eyebrows could do that 

IT Crowd is a ok show,

Only thing I did'nt like about it was when it first came on tv some customers would ring up & ask if we acted like the guys in IT Crowd & was it comparable to real life.

This was before I had even bothered to watch a episode, & it did give a really bad picture of what the IT Helpdesk is like & make it look like were all a bunch of lazy nerds.

So I despised that show for that reason.

I see what you are saying, Deathrow...however, I never took the IT Crowd that way...and if anyone actually thinks it's completely representative of a geeks behavior...well...then apparently they also think Monty Python is entirely true and literal.

Second thought...maybe it is in some circles... lmao

Although I think dori is correct.  It is not that British or Aussie humour is any more "intelligent" or somehow "over the heads" of Americans...because trust me...I've seen some comedy from both that are just as stupid as some american comedies.  However, not everyone likes to think when they are being entertained and not everyone "gets" sarcasm and parody.

So it certainly isn't for everyone.

Unfortunately a lot of people here take the skewed truth as verbatum. They don't always get the humor unless it is outrageously represented, like something that would never actually happen. Sometimes we find it easier to make fun of ourselves than it is to think that others are infalable. Does that make sense?

I loved this show! occasionally I pull it out when I need a good laugh!

I tried to watch the clips of The IT Crowd, but was getting the message that clips could not be viewed in my country, (US.)  I would love to see it though as I do enjoy British comedy like Father Ted, Are You Being Served and Keeping Up Appearances.  Maybe if I can contact BBC America I can request it if they have the license to show it.

ZDE Sorry you couldn't watch the clips. I have the same problem if I try to access some US content. Not sure if BBC America will have a license as it was a non BBC program. Though this link shows that it was broadcast on the IFC channel in America back in September 2008.

There are also a large number of clips available on www.youtube.com and the episodes are available on DVD.

Recently British comedy has been pretty bloody poor.

I checked out a couple clips, pretty funny stuff!

It all depends on the relative humidity and if the swallow has a hangover.
