The IT Crowd: Difference between revisions

* [[AcCENT Upon the Wrong SylLABle]]: Jen's pronunciation of "COMputers".

** Sometimes missed by American audiences who might not realize this isn't just the British way of pronouncing it. But listen to how Moss and Roy pronounce the word, and how Roy cringes every time Jen says it with the accent on the 1st syllable instead of the 2nd.

* [[Acquired Situational Narcissism]]: Jen, on winning Employee of the Month.

* [[Acting Unnatural]]: Moss and Roy after Moss shoplifts the ''Grand Designs'' DVDs in "Bad Boys". Moss, Roy, and Richmond in "The Dinner Party" in a slightly different variation where Jen tells them to try and look normal to keep up appearances.

* [[Amusing Injuries]]: Roy endures quite a few.

** Combined with [[Groin Attack]] in Douglas' electric pants he has to wear as part of his sexual harassment suit settlement with Jen. They malfunction horribly, sending random jolts of electricity in his balls with increasing regularity.

* [[Anything That Moves]]: Subverted by Douglas, who is putting the moves on a woman when she reveals that she used to be a man. He shrugs and says he's doesn't care at all. However, it turns out that he misheard her. He completely loses interest when he realizes the truth.

* [[Artificial Limbs]]:

* [[Bedmate Reveal]]: The end of Series 1.

* [[Beware the Silly Ones]]: Douglas may seem like a harmless, if sexually crazed, moron, but his memories of his last moment with his dead wife involve her screaming for help because he was trying to kill her.

* [[Black and Nerdy]]: Moss.

* [[Black Comedy Rape]]

* [[Bland-Name Product]]:

** Friendface! ''Friendface!'' '''''FRIENDFACE!'''''

** Jitter from Series 4.

** A lingerie catalog called ''Penelope's Fancies''

* [[Blatant Lies]]: "I love that you used to be a man! It's your thing! I love thinking about that operation that you had!"

* [[Brick Joke]]: Several per episode, no reference ever seems to be wasted.

** In the third series, Jen sues Douglas for sexual harassment. During the settlement meeting Jen is wearing a large pair of sunglasses that cover her eyes entirely causing Douglas to accuse her of sleeping at one point which she immediately denies. In the last episode of Series 4, when Douglas' wife is divorcing him, she wears a similar pair of sunglasses to the settlement meeting. During the meeting Douglas suggests she is wearing the glasses to hide her fear, but it's then revealed she's actually just asleep.

** The plot of "The Haunting of Bill Crouse" is briefly mentioned in the episode "The Speech".
