The IT Crowd S2 Ep2 "Return of the Golden Child" REACTION!

Why did they do that to Denholm?!?!?

The IT Crowd S2 Ep2 "Return of the Golden Child" REACTION!

Comments

'On accident' doesn't make sense, it's a mistake people who mean to say 'On Purpose' use. It's 'by accident'

Karl shields

In England his first name is pronounced Morris. we don't say Mo-reese. Maurice is just said Morris

Karl shields

"Who's this then the vicar?" Jay's dad to Neil's dad, inbetweeners movie 1. And now here he is as a vicar 😂😂😂

Andy Waller

Can we please sort this out because I can’t take it anymore… “On accident” is not a phrase. It’s just too far, I simply cannot remain silent anymore; it’s “by accident”. A car doesn’t have its’ tire punctured at 60mph on the motorway, flip, killing all occupants inside and finally land “on” an accident…ok? Ignore the fact that it also doesn’t come to rest adjacent to or ‘by’ an accident either but you get the point. It’s ‘By’ accident, not ‘on’. There we go, I’ve fixed the USA. I’ve fixed everything…probably.

Riki Andrews

When Queen boomer mentioned about the group of lads sharing a cigarette in school i thought that only happened here in the UK.😂

Dude Khalfe

Matt Berry is great. I hope you watch Toast of London someday. It's pretty random like Man Down, but with dry humor.

Spencer

Where was the Queen's intro?

Robert Trainer

Fro the t eisoe when you were raving about Denhom. I thought you're going to go crazy when he jums out the wiow. But MattBerty is fucking hilarious in everything. If you want more Chris Morris, you should watch the 90s classic shows The Day Today & Brass Eye.

Neal Murdoch

I had a Nokia n98

Chay Davenport

He's really made a name for himself in the states with What We Do in the Shadows too. Same with Kayvan Novak. Both have been in British Comedy TV for 15-20 years and only in the last few are getting their comedy chops recognised state side.

Relyx

You'll probably end up quite familiar with Matt Berry's work if you keep doing reactions, I'm sure at some point you'll get round to Garth Marengie's Dark Place and The Mighty Boosh - and a bunch more besides. He has also done a lot of voice work including some games and the Spongebob movie.

Ian Tellam

found this interesting too with the phone flex thing, back when this was recorded women didn't really care about phones like how jen doesn't here, it was considered techy and nerdy and etc to care about it, but these days most women can't live without their phones for 2 seconds and care about them a lot more than most men do lol, says a lot about the cultural shift over the past 20 years or so doesn't it!

James West

been enjoying watching these + the inbetweeners stuff on youtube for a while so i signed up to your patreon, which is something i've never done before and it's also something i never thought i would do either, so good job guys lol, you guys must be doing something right, renham denham

James West

Hey KB, there are tones of funny Matt Berry (Douglas) sketches on Youtube that would be great for the Youtube Channel. try this one from a show he did with US Comedian Rich Fulcher called "Snuff Box" (I think you'll love it) Snuff Box - Boyfriend Sketches (3:29) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqDbb7-dn9A

Steve King

You recognised Neil's dad but the same scene didn't recognise Will's mum (Denholm's wife). That's 3 inbetweeners parents in 2 back to back eps

makadeni123

I hope you can react to The Mighty Boosh, Garth Marenghi's Darkplace and Brass Eye!

Jooe

See! Neil's dad is a pedo!

Daniel Heywood

Great episode especially death is here death is outside line

Tim Salt (Tim Salt Writes)

Absolutely fantastic show Darkplace.

Lee Wood

The rest of series 2 is 'ok' at best but series 3 is all out hilarious 😂 on another level

Rob webber

Don't worry Douglas is just as good, if not better than Denim!

Luke Barron

I have to disagree mate lol. Ios feels restricted and like a commercial prison where you can't download outside files easily for mods etc, can't customise. Android is also very secure with the latest builds

9sz4urfuryslas

My first phone was a siemans, it looked more like a tv remote control. Oh and don't worry you'll like the new Renholm more than the previous.

Gary Mcatear

Faaaatheeerr!

Rob webber

To be fair her hat and the shadows from it obscure a lot of her face, it's quite easy to miss, especially if you aren't familiar with her voice.

Chris H

I saw another reactor embrace the suck miss that too

Erica

I live for this episode. Matt Berry's entrance into the show is just brilliant on so many levels. No matter the show, no matter the character, he never disappoints.

Suited For Gaming

32:45 WHAT A BURN! XD 10/10 Gutted KB ;) haha amazing.

SB Chris

He left the IT crowd during S02E02 he makes a brief return in S03E01

Mr Robot

I echo the sentiments on here regarding the new boss Douglas Reynholm AKA Matt Berry. The guy is frigging hilarious in everything he does. You should definitely check out Garth Merenghi's Dark Place (also starring Richard Ayode) and Toast Of London. Both are great. It's not a UK show, but if you've never seen What We Do In The Shadows you should react to that someday. I think the Queen would love it too. He's so funny in that, and there are some awesome cameos in it, which I won't spoil!

Lee Gridley

Interestingly just before you saw Neil's dad as the priest, that was Will's mum as Denholm's wife (though it was hard to see her under the hat I admit).

LyingSecret

Gotta disagree there iOS is a lot better android has more features but it’s also more buggy. iOS is so much more secure and it can never be bricked like android. iOS also gets updates alll the time where android can’t due to it being third party well rather android can push a update but it can take a while for the user to receive it. As for hardware ye apple is behind in some things but so is android devices in other ways. They both have goods and bad it’s up to each person to chose what’s best for them as there is no best phone.

Adam

There are not only samsung or iPhone. Many other options. And Samsung phones are used for android OS which is MUCH MORE open source than ios on iphone. Samsung also is ahead of iphone worldwide in usage figures now too. In fact if you used the phone for anything other than regular stuff you'd realise how limited iphones are in functionality/software and behind in some hardware features too

9sz4urfuryslas

Yeah, I don't think K&Q Boomer have reacted to any of Chris Morris' other work yet - so probably unaware that getting him to play Denholm for the first season was a pretty big win, but he likely had other commitments he wanted to focus on instead once the show was up and running.

Andrew

My best mates Dad is a BBC cameraman, he's like some kind of crazed name dropping ninja, it doesn't matter what the topic is, he'll sneak a celebrity name drop in somehow! 🤣

Mark Jones

Matt Berry........YES!!

Si Cr

To those commenting on future episodes (of anything) just stop. Leave the King go into them not having high/low expectations.

Fordy7169

Can't believe there's already people commenting spoilers. How selfish can you be?

Brendan

I think I read somewhere that Chris Morris was only supposed to be in the opening episode of season 1. Then he ended up staying for the rest of the season.

Jonny Kingham

I will never go to evil apple..its apple v android btw..android have 54% apple 46%

Paul Liversage

Chris Morris is a comedy legend and a hero of mine. He's one of the most influential comedians, writers, directors and satiriists ever. The word genius is over used but he and his work merit that word. His radio output was phenomenal and he created some of the greatest TV satire of all time. I met him years ago when I first started working in TV - he was working with my boss on a show called Brass Eye (the special) Jam and some extras for The Day Today DVDs. You should try and react to those shows if you get a chance - they are milestones in British Comedy. Incredibly smart, biting satire - it's brilliant stuff and viscously funny. Very few shows come anywhere near his stuff imho - although the IT Crowd is certainly up there. Matt Berry is probably my favourite character in the show. Weirdly he was best man at my mates wedding many many years ago... small world. Anyway, that's enough pointless name dropping. Great reaction as always! Loved it. Some brilliant episodes still to come. Merry Christmas to you and everyone else. Here's hoping 2024 is a good one. Cheers!

Duncan Hart

Also by the way Denholmes wife is wills mum (inbetweeners)

R Lawrence

We all love Chris Morris, if anything we were all shocked he did The IT Crowd at all, but as others have said, don't worry, Matt Berry makes the character his own and is fecking brilliant!

Mark Jones

Thanks.

Billy Rockets

Also maybe you know him from this as its fairly popular on the internet https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqDbb7-dn9A If not, might be great for quick Youtube reactions, it's hilarious

Matt

The fact that they killed off Denholm Reynholm, but managed to find an even greater and funnier character in Douglas Reynholm, is pure genius! whether intentional or accidental.

Industrialist2015ofUk

Yeah RIP Denholm but Douglas is great once he gets adjusted (similar to seasons, after working out what does and doesn't work with him, he gets better in the next season). He has the same sort of billionaire eccentric bullshit with Denholm but added randyiness which I am sure you'll love Boomer.

Matt

You will prefer the new boss after a couple more episodes I promise

R Lawrence

Same sort of, went from being under the eccentric approaching billionaire owner to reshaped to be under the CFO who somewhat was publicly known to hate IT and the amount we'd spend (although he knew deep down that 90% of our "budget" was being spent on the company and making the money back from it)

Matt

Yeh KB it would be worth doing YouTube reactions to clips from The Day Today. Very funny early 90s parody news show. Any clips would stand on their own.

Julian T

And just last Monday he narrated a piece on the Freight Trains episode of Last Week Tonight.

R van Kuik

Jesus probably seen this show bout 5 times through and never realised that

Matt

Agreed

Deano_Deano

This right here. That would be the perfect show for them.

Seltro1

Dark place is amazing. Still waiting for more of it all these years later though 😂

Vincey

Only saw the spongebobs recently forgot that was him 😅

Vincey

I remember when I was in secondary school (high school in US), and I had a regular Nokia, then our minds were blown when one of our friends got a flip-phone.

UltiNega

He is also the voice in a bunch of children's shows and animation. He is in both Spongebob films and in Disenchantment amongst many others.

Stephen H

And let's not forget Garth Marenghis Dark Place, which is a work of art(insane art)

Terry Hunt

My first phone was fastened to our living room wall. And Queens cigarette story was exactly my experience of picking up cig buts from roads and pavements when I was 14yrs old.

Johnnyenglish

Oooo I've not been a patron long so never caught this! I'll check it out thanks bud!

Terry Hunt

They did back in June - https://www.patreon.com/posts/four-lions-movie-85286906

Manly Stump

Denolm was great…Douglas was somehow far superior. Insane casting options

Cameron Smith

Apple and Samsung dominate the cellphone market over here too, but if you prefer Android over Apple you are spoilt for choice in terms of brand and price point. Motorola, Google, Xiaomi, One Plus. Even Nokia is back with some decent smartphones.

Kieran

I think the story was Chris Morris only played Denholm for one series as a favour to Graham Linehan to help the show get started. Morris is a legendary comedy writer/director with his own projects that IT Crowd would’ve been taking his time away from. It might’ve been Four Lions he left this show to do, if the dates line up.

Mark Fraser

I'm pleased that you're already warming to Matt Berry as Douglas, given how much you loved Denholm. Douglas' entrance and the slap fight with the priest never fails to have me crying with laughter. You'll grow to love him very quickly I think!

Phil Robinson

Indeed - the man is a legend - we were blessed that he did as much as he did in this show!

Phil Robinson

Fun Fact: There were actually two of Inbetweener parents in this episode. Denholm's wife who greets them at the church is played by Will's mum. Bonus Fun Fact: Jay's dad from Inbetweeners was actually in the last episode. He was the driver of the disabled people's bus

Steve King

Denholm Will be missed but the son is just as good imo

martyn dodds

If it isn't already on the list, watch 'Garth Marenghis Dark Place'

Kieran Fleury

Interesting Fact: The actor that played Denholm (Chris Morris) was already a bit of a comedy great & big name before the series even started (Making his name in things like The Day Today which launched Alan Partridge & the Brass Eye series). He was also and established TV and film producer so the reason he left was simply he had too much other stuff on. He went on to write and produce the film 'Four Lions' shortly after this

Steve King

Also Douglas’ wife lol

theOraclelives

Fun Fact: Denholm's wife in this ep is played by Will's mum in Inbetweeners

Steve King

Ive been eagerly awaiting Douglas's appearance. You need to go through Matt Berry's back catalogue of shows. He never disappoints. He's got a lot of shorts on YouTube you need to see.

Morgan

Chris Morris(Denholm) left so he could focus more on writing and directing (those being his main passion) and went onto make Four Lions - you should react to this film 100% it's amazing

Terry Hunt

Chris Morris left because he had other commitments possibly because he wanted to start work on Four Lions which came out a couple of years later.

William Stewart

Douglas is one of the best things to happen to I.T Crowd, and it had a high bar to start with. The best is definitely yet to come 👍

Gary Revell

You will quickly forget about Denholm Renholm after few episodes with Douglass. He is probably the best character on the show.

Squanchy

Matt Berry the man the legend

Nothinghalo

Speak Priest!

theOraclelives

Denholm's wife is Will's mum from Inbetweeners. How did you miss that?

Squanchy

I had to go from Blackberry to Unihertz because that's the only option left with a keyboard, you can stick your no buttons slabs of nonsense up your 'arris.

Z is for Zed

Matt Berry's voice makes me go weak at the knees...

squarewindow

Matt Berry has been in a lot of things. You might be thinking of him from the Book of Bobba Fett? He did the voice of one of the robots.

Wesley MacDonald

Love the reactions from you 🤴 & 👸. Douglas is played by Matt Berry who is a national treasure. He is in the tv show What we do in the shadows (which is hilarious) as well as several other shows like Mighty Boosh & Toast of london all of which he is hysterically funny in. He quickly becomes one of the best characters in IT crowd too

Vincey

Funnily enough, I work in IT and have had a boss like Denholm replaced with a boss like the 'I despise IT' one. It's insane how relatable this show is

Stu T

I love Douglas so much, Matt Berry is amazing!

Caoimhe h

Imagine just getting his name right for him to lob himself out of a window. Shame will have to wait after Christmas for the next one merry Christmas!

Liam

This is my favourite episode I think. Also Matt Berry is my favourite comedy actor. So really looking forward to this one. Hopefully at some point you guys can see some more berry shows such as toast of London or Garth merenghis dark place which also has Richard ayoade (QBs favourite)

theOraclelives

Trust me, the new Denholm will 100% be your favourite character by the end of the series

Nick Zhang

Matt Berry's performance really grows as the show progresses, and his delivery frequently makes lines funnier than they would be coming from another actor. I hope KB gives Toast of London a try at some point.

Henry Graham

FAAATHERRRR!

Stu84

You will like love him
