The IT Crowd (part 6)

Part 6!!! Wowsers! This is the final episode of the first season. As usual, if you're reading this post, and you havent watched the previous 5 episodes of The IT Crowd, you have to go back to the start, do not collect $200. You just won't understand everything!

So what would an episode be without some great quotes that don't really say anything about the episode, but are sometimes the best quotes ever! Who am I to take that away from you people? (you people you...)

Quotes!
"The toilet cleaners!! They said we couldn't do it!!"
"How would I get on her nerves??"
"When I had the baby, I look down and saw that it was my father!"
"Smarties cereal........."
"oh noooooo!!!!"
"Mom?!?!"


AND MAKE SURE YOU WATCH TIL THE VERY END!!! CLASSIC!!!!


Episode 6 - "Aunt Irma Visits"
Jen's menstrual cycle (nicknamed Aunt Irma) has unexpected consequences for the office, with her colleagues all directly suffering from the associated effects. After Moss sends an email about it to everyone he knows in the IT Community it incites "Aunt Irma" riots and disturbances throughout the world. It's decided that the only cure is to have a big "girly night in" with scented candles, and watching the movie Steel Magnolias, but they are obliged to go to the company "Thank-You" party, where they get incredibly drunk.

The IT Crowd (part 5)

And we're back!! well, assuming you've been paying attention, this is the 5th of 12 episodes of the IT Crowd. if you haven't been paying attention (Kevin...), please go back and watch whichever episodes you missed before watching this one! (start from 1, go to 2, etc .... need I explain more?)

So episode 5 is another good one (of course!). Here's some good quotes that won't overly spoil the episode...
"That'll be trouser food!"
"Events seem to be taking a downward turn... *DUN DUN DUNNNNN*"
"You lying cow!"
"I don't think that's Elton John..."


Episode 5 - "The Haunting of Bill Crouse"
Moss tells an extraordinary lie to help Jen escape the attention of Bill "The News" Crouse—telling him that she is dead. The story spreads, and the office gathers for a memorial. Denholm invites his friend Elton John, and Bill starts telling everyone that he was the last person to sleep with Jen. Meanwhile Roy has garnered the attention of Judy, the unattractive office cleaner, instead of Julie, the attractive girl from the fifth floor, and is trying to shake her.

The IT Crowd (part 4)

Glad you could all join for the 4th episode of The IT Crowd. Apparently this has been slowly catching on, because today, we watched the first 3 episodes! All over lunch of course, so no work was missed (naturally, we wouldn't think of doing anything other than work during the actual work hours).

Now then, on to the 4th episode. In this episode, a new, and ever hilarious character is introduced - Richmond the goth.

Here are my favorite quotes from this episode. (Coincidentally, these are all spoken by Moss)
"Would I blow everyone's mind if I ate dessert first?"
"This flipping circuit board, Jen!"
"Jimminy Jones, look, the nature of the thing happening has changed slightly, rendering it yet MORE interesting!"

Episode 4 - "The Red Door"
While Roy becomes stuck under a desk with Moss attempting to rescue him, Jen investigates the strange red door in the basement, leading to her discovery of Richmond, a lonely goth and the fourth member of the IT department. Jen discovers Richmond's fall from grace through a series of flashbacks and tries to help him, while Roy tries not to become a "desk rabbit" (a term Moss coined for the situation).

The IT Crowd (part 3)

Well, 2 episodes down, 10 to go!! If you haven't had a chance to watch the first 2 yet, make sure you watch them in the proper order, otherwise some things will not make much sense to you!!

Onward and upward, here's a few clips that make up the whole of Episode 3!

First, here's 2 great quotes from this episode...
"Everybody's having having fun fun fun..."
"Ahhhh hahahaaaaa hahahahaaa hahaaahahaha aaaahhhhh hahahahahaha aaahhha ahahahaha hahahahahah hhhahaaha aaaaahahahahaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaahhhh aaaaahhhhhh aaaahhhhahahahahaaaahahahaa aahhhh hahahahahahaaaa!"

Episode 3 - "Fifty-Fifty"
After Roy has a horrible date with a woman because he smears chocolate on his forehead and it looks like poo, the story circulates around the office. Roy decides the woman actually didn't like him because women only like "bad boys", and sets out to prove his point by posting an ad that makes him sound horrible in the local classifieds.

Meanwhile, Jen has been impressing the temporary security guard with her (guessed) knowledge of obscure facts and he puts her on his "phone a friend" list for "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?"

The IT Crowd (part 2)

Well this is part 2 of the 12 part post... Hopefully you enjoyed the first episode, because I'm delivering all 12!

Season 1 - Episode 2 - "Calamity Jen"
Moss, Roy, and Jen are summoned to a company wide meeting with Denholm in which he "declares war" on stress and sets up a staff seminar on dealing with stress and its effects. Moss and Roy attend, but Jen is distracted by a shoe shop and purchases a pair of shoes—despite their being two sizes too small—on her way to work. At the seminar Roy and Moss become infatuated with the "stress tester" the speaker used, prompting Moss to build his own and start a fire in the basement. Unfortunately, throughout the episode fake commercials aired for a changeover in the emergency phone number from "999" to "0118 999 881 999 119 725 3" causing problems in getting help.

The IT Crowd

as you may have assumed, I have been failing to come up with things creative enough to actually post to this blog. So, in the spirit of my computer nerd heritage, I have decided to make my next 12 posts dedicated to the British sitcom called "The IT Crowd." Nobody can say for sure whether it is pronounced "it" or I.T., but I say I.T. because that's what I know... Kathryn of course disagrees, because she would.

ANYWAY... this, the first of a 12 post series, will be the first episode of the first season. The videos are on Youtube, so if you want to look ahead, feel free, although then you will have no use to come back to my blog, so DONT DO IT!!! (c:

Each video is sectioned into 3 parts for size sake on Youtube, so you will (heaven forbid) have to click 3 different play buttons at 3 different times... yikes!

Season 1 - Episode 1 - "Yesterday's Jam"
Denholm Reynholm, the technically challenged boss of a large corporation, interviews Jen Barber for a position. Fooled by her "techno-bluffing", he appoints her as manager of the IT support office, where she demonstrates a complete lack of knowledge in technical matters.

Moss and Roy, resenting having been given a manager, attempt to get rid of her by exposing her lack of knowledge and experience to Reynholm until they realize her people skills can be an asset for them.

McCain to LVH

so today John McCain is joining the LVH crowd to talk about healthcare, and other politics, yadda yadda yadda.... I don't really care much, but I went out to lunch today and on my way out of the parking lot, there were a bunch of signs for McCain. Also, on the other side of the street, were all of the Obama followers (maybe about 35 of them), and apparently both of the Hillary supporters of the Lehigh Valley made it out to the event as well (only 2 Hillabean signs)... that just made me chuckle a little (c:

I had a nice picture of McCain to go in here, but I didn't want to get in trouble w/ any blog-trollers.
but here's the link anway!! http://uglyrepublicans.com/republicans/United-States/John-McCain/john-mccain-pirate.jpg
