The IT Crowd S5 Special "The Internet Is Coming" REACTION!
Added 2024-04-08 16:00:05 +0000 UTC
I am definitely going to miss this show.
yeah he was in "hot water" for just stating facts and truths , such a shame people cant have the intelligence to go and actually research what he talks about... poor bloke , just wants good for humanity and gets some worthless people making up stuff and just ignoring facts then riding the low iq train picking everyone up along the way. pc cupcake mofos! Itcrowd is legendary , loved the reactions! peace.

For some prime Matt Berry and Richard Ayoade you should try Garth Marenghi's Darkplace.

Nobody seems to have done a reaction to ‘Count Arthur Strong’ online, probably because it’s one of those shows that only a few people have seen because the BBC didn’t promote it. But it’s also co-written by Graham Linehan and has a lot of his goofy comedy in it. May be worth considering, if you want to do a show that nobody else has reacted to. (You did react to part of an episode about a year ago).

Darkplace is like IT Crowd on LSD in a cardboard hospital
Tom Clancy
2024-04-11 18:27:12 +0000 UTC
I watched 5 minutes of it about 15 years ago and gave up because I just didn't get it (I'd gone in completely blind, didn't know the premise or anything). Went back to it two years ago and absolutely loved it. So so underrated.
Relyx
2024-04-11 01:58:10 +0000 UTC
I’m really glad you enjoyed this, it’s one of favourite shows and a true British classic
Joe Nicholls

No, that actor is Ben Moor, Water Man is Tom Basden.

Coupling, Spaced or Gavin and Stacey also good for a couples reaction... but Black Books is the best show.

If it is "Derek" I shall personally purchase a flight over to Florida and challenge him to a Penguin-off. And I will win.
(Who am I kidding, KB will beat my ass. And then squawk at me very loudly).
It won't be "Derek".

I love it but each to their own... I think you're safe though, he's Ricky Gervais obsessed, mentioned watching most of his shows and I'd be very surprised if he hasn't already seen it.
BigChanChan
2024-04-09 14:48:11 +0000 UTC
I seem to remember him saying that he's already seen that.

KB has already chosen his next series and I've got an awful feeling that it's 'Derek'.
Fordy7169
2024-04-09 13:54:43 +0000 UTC
Still Game is a bit too colloquial and short of actual comedy IMO. Sort of an 'in-joke' that the rest of the world doesn't getso I can understand why some people don't enjoy it.

I hated it too... When I've seen it on other reaction channels it's like Marmite in that it's 50/50 on who likes or hates it but those that love it tend to let everyone know that lol.

I get ye, there are lots of shows that i just won't watch too...i have a recommendation for you...if you like Ali G then you will love Dennis Pennis the master troller...he was trolling hollywood A-listers when Ali g was still trying to figure out what to do with his life...he was so good at trolling Hollywood A listers that they complained to the FBI and Dennis now has his own FBI file lol...by the way Dennis Pennis is a character he created, he is actually Peter Kays brother. Dennis stalks and trolls all the top hollywood celebs of the time...even Pierse Brosnan becomes one of his victims.

Echoing others here - Black Books for British Comedy (Bill Bailey is brilliant - him and Sean Loch were best friends and similar humour style, also the "nobody tells me nuthin'" twins from Hot Fuzz), and if you wanted to continue the IT theme, then Silicon Valley was absolutely a barrel of laughs.

Amusingly and perhaps unbelievably, the guy in the white suit who made the 'tits car' is Super Hanz from Peep Show.
LyingSecret
2024-04-09 01:36:58 +0000 UTC
Yes, please! Hardly anyone reacts to Black Books and it's one of my absolute favourites, I think they'd love it's equally wacky and bizarre humour.
Andrew
2024-04-09 00:47:42 +0000 UTC
He does get a lot of credit for Black Books, but only 6 of the 18 episodes were actually co-written by Graham Linehan. A bit hit and miss, like Count Arthur Strong, which he also co-wrote. But both have a few brilliant episodes.

I hate to break your US education system, but nobody ever shouted ''THE BRITISH ARE COMING!''
That would be suicide as most people were British or pro-British.
They had to tell the rebels secretly, or they would have been Hung/Shot as traitors.

Paul Murgatroyd

It's a pity you can't get into the Scottish accent because you're missing out with Still Game. I think if you had to react to it one of your top 5 you listed would slip down to number 6.
Gary Mcatear
2024-04-08 20:17:17 +0000 UTC
Please have a look at Black Books (sitcom). It’s co-written by Graham Linehan and has the same kind of wacky comedy.

You should watch Garth Marenghi's Dark Place. It has Douglas Reynholm in it (Matt Berry) and Moss (Richard Ayoade), and is really quirky and ridiculous. I think you'd really love it.
Michael Leighton's Karl Pilkington Animations

You might have a small knob KB but it's big enough to fill a pram!

Yeah she was horrible in that. But it gave Karl pilkington his finest moment in the show.
Morgan
2024-04-08 19:03:10 +0000 UTC
It's a perfectly fine episode, but I think it suffers a bit with the length and pacing. It feels a bit all over at the place at times. Still, 7/10 👌🏻
Edit: Probably would've worked better in the usual 25 minute format 🤷🏻

You missed Shakira the cafe owner from Man Down and Super Hans from Peep Show! Great reaction, thanks Boom! I agree that it was stronger in the first half and didn't fully pay off in the second half, but still a fun ride.

No, "Where Roy?" was Heather off of Eastenders 😄
But the tramp is from Man Down, an episode of Derek and all sorts of bits
Stuart Still
2024-04-08 18:30:45 +0000 UTC
Oh and also the penultimate episode of Curb had Matt Berry so it's coincidences all round 😌
Stuart Still
2024-04-08 18:29:00 +0000 UTC
Wasn't the tramp also the "Where Roy?" woman from level 7 with the blown up monitor?
Joe Thornhill
2024-04-08 18:28:51 +0000 UTC
That really made me laugh at the coincidence because I was watching the final episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm last night (or should that be this morning!) which briefly featured a call back to Larry David's "pants tent" from the very first episode 😄
Stuart Still
2024-04-08 18:26:33 +0000 UTC
Yes! Finally I got one that KB didn't. Can you actually see my profile pic, though? I tried copy/pasting my Facebook one but even after refreshing, It's just white on my end.
Joe Thornhill
2024-04-08 18:25:12 +0000 UTC
Yes, and also really hated her in the episode of Derek as the daughter who was just waiting for her mum to die in order to get hold of her jewellery...
Stuart Still
2024-04-08 18:23:30 +0000 UTC
Yes it's Shakira. KB needs to watch This Country she is so good as Mandy.

2024-04-08 17:48:18 +0000 UTC
The presenter for that bit of Channel 4 news coverage was Jon Snow (not the Game of Thrones character!). He was the main news anchor on Channel 4 for over 30 years so would have covered the fall of the Soviet Union, the Iraq wars, 9/11, etc etc. It was such a mad moment to have him pop up on a sitcom talking about "Coffee tramp toss bitch".
Adam
2024-04-08 17:47:46 +0000 UTC
Excellent sign off episode for the series! 🤣 ♥
Great reaction, KB & QB, love the specs.
25:05 Is the homeless woman in this the same actress who plays the very grumpy, angry café owner in Man Down?
Jason Scade
2024-04-08 17:47:46 +0000 UTC
Please do Phoenix Nights and Max and Paddy's road to nowhere. Both are similar in humour to Inbetweeners and Peep Show

Did Paul Revere not shout something like "The Regulars are coming?" I read that somewhere, as the colonists at the time would have considered themselves to be British, so "The British are coming" would have made little sense to them.

2024-04-08 17:09:39 +0000 UTC
Always strongly agree with suggestions for Toast of London, Black Books and Garth Merenghis Darkplace. I really think you'd also like The Day Today with an early Alan Partridge and the original boss from IT Crowd. Most would suggest the follow up 'Brass Eye', but I think its best to ease gently into Christopher Morris produced comedy, as it get very dark later down the line (especially 'Jam').
Suggestions aside, thanks for these brilliant I.T. Crowd reactions King and Queen Boomer. Looking forward to the next comedy.

@Jason Scade Toast of London is brilliant, although you might find the pilot episode a bit patchy.

This special was made 3 years later than the end of last season and has that slightly awkward school reunion feel about it, where they don't quite gel like they used to do but it's still far better than most comedy shows out there, especially newer one's made since!

I'm going to check this show out now, I've seen it recommended in umpteen King B's Patreon comment sections.
Matt Berry is such a gifted actor and comedy actor! He has a presence that reminds me of Oliver Reed. On a more jocular note, I think Berry would be perfect (as the dungeon master) in a reboot of the old kids adventure show 'Knightmare'.
Jason Scade
2024-04-08 16:15:07 +0000 UTC
Good suggestion, it's short and there are definitely moments that will cause King Boomer to lose his shit.

Toast of London is a great showcase for Matt Berry and it has a similarly wacky sense of humour.
