Americans React | THE IT CROWD | Calendar Geeks Season 3 Episode 6 | REACTION

[@finncullen]

The theme is based on a play called Calendar Girls, which was itself based on a real event where a group of women did exactly that for charity. EDIT - when Jen says "If it's unemployed men or old women from Yorkshire it's fun" --- she's referring to the movie the Full Monty in the first instance and Calendar Girls in the second.

[@helvete983]

It was also made into a movie starring Helen Mirren and Julie Walters

[@danielgardecki1046]

The Full Monty - Written by a man from Bradford. Calendar Girls - Filmed in Bradford. Mark Addy from The Full Monty - Stars in at least 7 Bradford filmed productions (a few others from The Full Monty have also starred in Bradford filmed productions). Geraldine James from Calendar Girls - Stars in at least 7 Bradford filmed productions (most of the main actors have starred in other Bradford filmed productions, most notably Helen Mirren and Julie Walters).

I live near the calender girls and my mum pointed one at me at a cafe once.

[@David-j9h9g]

duh....

[@Shane-Flanagan]

Moss saying "Box Fresh" is the best thing ever 😜 Deserved more of a reaction

[@meronr74]

I organised a Calendar Girls style calendar for work in memory of a colleague who passed with breast cancer, and we raised £4k.

Pics or it didn't happen

[@rat1234dave]

Was it nude

[@joshcrawford4076]

"It's making love, not clapping cheeks" 😂 you've got to trim out the audio out of that and have it as a video intro mate 😂

I love how you guys compliment each other all the time. Never stop doing that.

[@markkelly9621]

For an episode in season 4, you will need to do some homework and watch an episode of the daytime game show Countdown. Preferably a 90s version. NOT the 8/10 Cats version with Jimmy Carr. That way you will get better context for one of the episodes.

[@johncartwright8154]

One of the most funny and cleverly crafted of the series. I agree, the Boomers need to do some background research for that episode.

[@ElectroTherapyFTSoul]

I had never seen Countdown before I watched that episode. It's not difficult to get a rudimentary idea of the game just by watching IT Crowd. It's cool to see they got the actual Countdown people on it, though.

[@watchreadplayretro]

Loved Roy's Bert & Ernie T-shirt! Thanks guys, great stuff as always!

[@WillzeeWoo]

You should give "The Young Ones" a try. I'm pretty sure you'll both like it. It was my favourite show growing up, before Father Ted, The IT Crowd and all these other shows came out.

[@bhurzumii4315]

"NEIL, YOUR BEDROOM'S ON FIRE!"

[@chadberserk1050]

I love Young Ones but it is a product of its time. Bottom has aged better - Foxy, stoaty stoaty stoat seeks.....Pig!

[@sargonsblackgrandfather2072]

Agree it’s hard for people who weren’t around in the 80s to get the Young Ones now especially the first series. I’d recommend a few of the later episodes in series 2 to get them into it

[@Moonlightgraeme]

Whenever I get my Amazon order I always say box fresh! Like moss

[@MrNikolidas]

My "Byeeee!" has been like Moss since this came out. I also had to resist the strong urge, whilst on a military shooting range, to run around shouting "A gun! I've got a ruddy gun!" This show has ruined me.

[@AishaIsFabulous-x-]

​@@MrNikolidas At least it's not "Muuuum, you're making it go back in!" 😳💀😭 -x-

[@BlueBarchetta67]

Once you've finished the entire catalogue of I.T. Crowd you can watch all the out-takes, they're on here, and are well worth watching.

[@Foxbat320]

LOL in the words of the IT crowd "Turn it off and turn it back on again".

[@sirsancti5504]

My IT teacher in the 90's already used that line. (Whixh made the line in the show even funnier).

[@elpenza]

This is hands down, my favorite episode from the IT crowd, Moss is absolutely brilliant in this one!

[@ryosat]

You should watch Black Books, its in the same vein as IT Crowd.

[@ChucksDream]

Never actually seen It crowd but watching this is making me want to see the whole thing

[@Karnaax_]

Absolutely crying at "IT'S MAKING LOVE, NOT CLAPPING CHEEKS". New mantra. Thank you guys for the primo content as always

[@ducomaritiem7160]

Hey, Boomers, I actually did take part in a nude-calendar photo shoot😊. It was even my own idea. I work as an independent artist ( metal, casting, forging stuff & medieval armor) and the ladies at the big compound where my workshop is located did a semi-nude calendar 2 years ago. So I launched the idea to do a male, but full nude version. Just to please the ladies. My picture in the month of May: Nude, wearing my viking helmet, hammering a sword on my anvil. Note: it was about 5 degrees Celsius that day...

When you get to the end of series 4, you'll have to find the very final extended episode 'The Internet is Coming'. Not sure where you're sourcing these videos from, but a lot of video servers don't include that very final episode.

[@helvete983]

That's because season 4 ended in 2010 and the closure episode The Internet is coming was aired in 2013. (Technically billed as season 5) So a lot of rips of the originals don't have it for that reason.

Just got back from a day at treatment and what do I see? Another IT reaction from the one and only Muppets? WOO!

@18:36 Those 2 "mob bosses" were purposely picked to look like 2 brothers from one of the UK's longest-running and most known TV soaps, "Eastenders"; Phil and Grant Mitchell, known for their criminal activity, and rough, no-nonsense behaviour

[@marcushart3360]

This tech problem is why queen boomers Gingle should be " have you tried turning it on and off again" 😂

[@rexoid0800]

you mean jingle?

[@bareakon]

What's funny is in when Moss comes back from his holiday, as an audience member, I hadn't noticed he'd been missing from the episode up to that point either.

[@helvete983]

The show was written right around the time the movie Calendar Girls was a big hit and nude calendars for charity became popular for a while (Firemen, Doctors etc)

[@onbedoeldekut1515]

The clock's finally ticking towards the street Countdown episode!

[@bailey8715]

Just what I needed today, thanks guys!

[@krashd]

22:00 What you guys call vacation we call holiday. I know that in the US holiday, or holiday season, is a thanksgiving-through-Christmas thing and the rest of the year you guys call time off work a vacation. In the UK any time you have time off work or school it's always known as a holiday. The biggest is the summer holiday because the kids are off school for 6 weeks so the whole family disappears somewhere sunny for a few weeks. Then there's the spring holiday, American youngsters call this spring break, then there's the autumn holiday - known as half-term or the October break in the UK, then lastly there's the Xmas holiday, which lasts until around January 2nd. In fact I think holiday in the UK actually means two thing in the US. When you guys have time off work and you travel somewhere you call it a vacation, and when you have time off work but don't go anywhere you call it a break (I think). In the UK we use holiday for both meanings. If I have two weeks off work and decide to go to Italy I'm on holiday, whereas if I have two weeks off work and spend it at home enjoying my free time I'm still on holiday. Holiday just means no work and no school.

[@earlofnythe]

You have season 4 now, which is awesome btw, Graham Linehan planned to write a season 5 but simply wasn't enjoying it so decided to do a finale special one-off extended episode, which again was brilliant.

[@scipioafricanus5871]

01:01 Now I imagine King Boomer birching some inanimate piece of equipment losing his mind Basil Fawlty style from Fawlty Towers.

[@michealgallagher1111]

Great fun, as ever! Sadly, you need to start planning to fill the void when you finish S4 and the extended special final episode. I recommend Green Wing, Upstart Crow (David Mitchell) and The Thin Blue Line (Rowan Atkinson).

[@babalonkie]

Have you checked to see if a peripheral or even a nearby object is shorting or badly grounded? Or if something nearby is causing static? That MAY be the source of your computer problems.

[@johncartwright8154]

There was a craze for this sort of calendar here in England during the early 2000s amongst the Womens' Institute, which the fim mentioned celebrated. My Mother appeared in one....my MOTHER! I couldn't look at it. She was 82 for goodness sake! Probably looked as though she was wearing a pink wrinkled Onesie.

[@Cheepchipsable]

Like the joke about the old folks home resident who streaked through the halls as a prank. When asked what they were wearing one woman said she couldn't tell, but it needed ironing!

[@SabretoothBarnacle]

Your setting issue is related to your USB issue. When usb devices drop out then programs you are running will be alerted of this and default to another device. The powered USB device might be a dodgy Chinese one with a sh1tty power supply that's failing. When it comes to powered hubs try to go for a brand name version that has at least USB 3.0 capacity

[@nathanroberts1053]

Just joined your patreon recently. So glad i did.

[@DS-uy6jw]

You guys should do the calendar to raise funds for a new computer. Douglas can do a caricature of you!

“If you went up to a woman in her 20s and asked her to take naked pictures she’d say ‘no. Go away’” Uh… The Internet is filled with so many that said yes.

[@DirkGently1972]

Have you tried turning it off and on again? 😂

[@mfrost71w]

This dates to when every charity, business and college did nude calendars. It was a huge fad in the UK after a Women's Institute did it for charity in 1999

[@krs4976]

You Should have a look at Garth Merenghis Dark Place. Starring Matt Berry (Reynholm) and Richard Ayoade (Moss)

[@simonblackwood9291]

You guys should try reacting to “Green Wing” you’d love it.

[@jaggybot9631]

Yes! The scene with Dr Statham being 'spontaneous' and Sue White's antics had me helpless on the floor.

For audio switching problems, I recommend disabling all you other unused sound devices and make sure your main audio is set to the default. It's not just you, I have a 50/50 shot of screwing up my audio settings when I plug a PS4 controller into my Win11 PC.

These types of calendars happened occasionally as fundraisers. No one was buying them for their erotic qualities, just as support for people who were willing to do something a bit outrageous and humorous for their cause. Being able to poke a bit of fun at yourself and have other people laugh is generally admired outside the US.
