Robert Murraine vs. Philip Chbeeb - a dance off?!

Well, after posting the first season of The IT Crowd, I decided to take a small break before going on to the second season. During this break, I decided to provide some more entertaining videos, but this time, it's in the way of dancing!

Over the past few weeks, I have been watching the popular tv show called "So You Think You Can Dance?" This season they have some absolutely great dancers, but my favorite dance genres include popping, b-boys, and "the robot" haha. This brings me to my favorite dancer of all time, Robert Murraine aka Mr. Fantastic. He auditioned this year, and absolutely blew the judges away (and myself for that matter!)

One of the best poppers/robotics I have ever seen, here is his audition video.


As usual with my videos, here's the direct link incase the embedded version doesn't work. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3y5PG_GtRa8

This was absolutely amazing. he made it through to Vegas, but then decided to bow out of the competition because he couldnt do anything but his own style. obviously! BUT!!! they brought him back last week to dance on the show, and blew me and the judges away AGAIN. here's that video... genius.

Now, at the end of that video, they mention having a dance off between him and Philip Chbeeb, coincidentally one of my other favorite dancers that I've ever seen. Here is his audition from LAST year, and his audition from THIS year. he has gotten better, and a bit more ghetto, over the 1 year break.

He made it to Vegas this year, but then when the Vegas shows started, I didn't see him anywhere, so I have no idea what happened. I would LOVE to see a dance off between the 2 of these guys though... it would be absolutely amazing. Hats off to both of them!

The IT Crowd BLOOPERS!! (season 1, eps. 1-6)

Hello Fans!

Assuming you've all watched all 6 parts of the first season, I know give you the blooper real! The Richmond bloopers are by far my favorite, and I think it brings a lot more to his character than the dark gloomy goth... Absolutely hilarious.

If you haven't watched all 6 episodes, I recommend watching them first, but this video won't ruin any of them for you, so whatever you choose!




And of course, here's the direct link to the video incase the embedded version doesn't work for you...

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.
