The IT Crowd/Funny

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • It may be a toss-up between "The Speech" in which Jen breaks the Internet, or "Are We Not Men?" which gives us the longest Fake-Out Make-Out in human history... between Roy and Moss, in order to hide from passing police cars (of which there are far too many), instead of using a collection of huge bins nearby as cover. And their all-purpose football dialogue. And Jen's magician boyfriend.
  • The "Could he have thought you were a man?" Brick Joke in The Work Outing. And that entire episode on top.
    • "I'm disabled!"
      • "Ohhh, me legs don't work!"
    • Jen turning around and seeing Moss behind the bar in that episode damn near killed this troper.
  • The eulogy given during "Return of the Golden Child."
    • Roy's 'heart attack" during that episode.
  • Mashed Potato Seapark.
  • "Here we are. Your place... your place. La Mason de la femme, El casa de las senorita... DAS HOUSE DIE FRAU!"
  • This little conversation between Roy and his girlfriend in "Italian for Beginners": "What are you doing on the computer?" "Masturbating."
    • What makes that scene so awesome is the look on Roy's face, a "whew" that seems to say "Oh, she just thought I was borrowing her laptop to look up pictures of other women naked. I can't believe I got away without her knowing what I was really doing!"
  • Moss sending an e-mail to the fire department. "Fire! Fire! Fire! Looking forward to hearing from you."
    • "I'll just put this over here with the rest of the fire."
    • "NICE SCREENSAVER!"
  • EIFFEL TOWER!
  • "Tramps Like Us", where it starts with Roy getting spilled on him and Moss getting concussed and ends with a nun, a priest, a rabbi and Douglas's electric sex pants. Moss goes to his happy place...
  • Moss trying to start a bra company and going on Dragons' Den.

Jen: "My tits! My tits are on fire!"

  • "Moss and the German" gives us this.
  • "Who's a pedophile?"
  • The Internet-in-a-box from "The Speech". "What's Jen doing with the Internet?"
    • "Has it been... DEMAGNETIZED??"
      • "C'mon, boys, the Elders of the Internet... know who I am?!"
    • Douglas's knuckle-down action movie-style fight with his transgender ex-girlfriend in "The Speech" may be a case of Refuge in Audacity or Unfortunate Implications (depending on your viewpoint), but it is also hilarious.
  • There was a fire...in a Sea Parks?
    • "Why would she lie? And if she was going to lie, why would she use this one? A fire at a Sea Parks?! It's wrecking my head! I mean if... if she had said that her parents had drowned I'd be the happiest man in the world!"
    • "What are you doing on that computer" *Beat* "MASTURBATING".
  • "Bad Boys" gives us this.
  • Goth To Boss!
  • "Dem glasses is shit, innit?".
    • "It's too real, Roy! It's too real!"
  • The morning after in Aunt Irma Visits
    • Jen's "demon" makeup and hairdo in the same episode.
  • 0118 999 881 999 119 725. 3.
  • "Damn that sorcerer! Twenty gold pieces and I'm wankered on Rohypnol!"
  • Moss, to a Judge: "Thank you, my love".
  • This:

Douglas: Good God.
Jen: Mr Reynholm?
Douglas: You looked exactly like Melissa there.
Jen: Melissa?
Douglas: My wife. She died.
Jen: Oh, poor you. That's terrible.
Douglas: There's not a day goes past that I don't think of her. I'll never forget our final moments.
Women's voice in Douglas' head: Help me! My husband's trying to kill me!

  • Douglas getting court-ordered to wear something to prevent him getting aroused. They begin shocking him all the time.

Douglas: GOD DAMN THESE ELECTRIC SEX PANTS!

  • Moss wakes up to the Windows start-up sound.
  • The software for the bomb disposal robot crashing, with Roy and Moss being forced to give tech support to the bomb technician operating it while standing right next to the bomb.
    • "What operating system does it use?" "Windows Vista!" "We're going to die!!!"
  • Richmond saying "Bloody hell, I think this is my one" at Jen's dinner party
    • And then later on..

Jessica: Oh! Look at me, "having an orgasm"!
