You must check out a series called “Garth Meranghis Darkplace”. It has Richard Aoyade and Matt Berry in it and it’s fantastic.

[@NolsHub]

I tried recommending this before but I think my comment was removed :( It's pretty good

[@BeardyBaldyBob]

Oh definitely! I think he'd love it!

[@IanDarley]

Total goofy madness, I cried laughing through the whole series.

[@HistoritorJimaldus]

Only 6 episodes and amazing

[@offal]

yes it is a real gem.

[@DanHarrisonKing]

When Reynholm said 'a PC World, if you will...', people laughed cause 'PC World' was a shop we used to have in the UK

[@mcborge1]

It's still around but it no longer has seperate stores from it's parent company Curry's.

[@Sicram]

​@@mcborge1That's just the sort of response I'd expect from someone who watches the IT Crowd 👍🏻

[@SpartasEdge]

​@mcborge1 You beat me to it; it still exists, but integrated into Currys stores, in the same way that a lot of Argos stores are in Sainsburies stores; well, almost the same :)

[@hedgehog1965uk]

@@Sicram Super nerd here. PC World and Currys are actually both part of Dixons Retail plc. You used to have Dixons, Currys and PC World as three separate stores, but I think all of them are now just called "Currys PC World".

Creators of IT crowd and Father Ted made another quite funny series called Black Books. It is maybe not as good as these two but still crazy and funny. You should try to watch it. But unfortunatelly it is not as favorite.

[@offal]

they also wrote on the fast show, and big train, both are amazing

[@joshormerod5382]

I'd really urge you guys to give This Country a go. One of the better British comedies of the last decade, with some really funny characters!

[@FlexAndBustGaming]

Shame you cut out the bit Douglas breaks into a car using his previously acquired robot hand only to comedically realise it’s his own car that he’s smashed! Classic

[@Ozzpot]

It might be the end, but there are plenty of great British comedies out there. I strongly recommend the hidden gem GARTH MERENGHI'S DARKPLACE next. It's crazy, and has some familiar faces that you love. 😊

[@rabsrealm]

I went to a Snooker hall in Glasgow with my dad one Sunday evening (I was a teenager). When we finished playing my dad took me to the bar for a coke and just as we walked in, a drunk and abusive guy was being thrown out. It was my History teacher. I had History the following morning. I asked him why he got thrown out of the Snooker hall last night. If looks could kill......

[@krashd]

The look would be 50% from your audacity to question him, but also 50% from him having a raging headache due to "bein' oan the swally" as we say in dundee. Wha gets leathered the night before an early start? Ooof!

[@Badgersj]

🤣

[@stanislawkowal4657]

Thank you for introducing me to the IT Crowd. Excellent

[@TonySpike]

I think what makes the internet joke so funny for me is that i think this episode was 3 years after the series ended ..and about 5 years after the original joke

[@ulodetero]

Wasn't "the internet" destroyed, though......? 🤔🤨

[@the98themperoroftheholybri33]

Theres a reference to "cat bin lady" who was a real woman caught on CCTV putting a cat into a wheelie bin so it couldn't escape, and she was hated by the entire country from that point onwards, the cat was fine though

[@hedgehog1965uk]

But Jason Manford's dog thought it was hilarious.

[@CourtneyDaryanani]

I would recommend next, in order 1. Garth Meranghis Darkplace - It stars Richard Aoyade and Matt Berry, it's short (6 epissodes), extremely surreal and very funny. 2. Black Books - Graham Linehan co-created it with Dylan Moran (lead actor) and was one of the writers (1st season). Great writing, amazing cast and fantastic cameos from many funny comedians of the time 3. The Mighty Boosh - Strap in and come with us on now on a journey, through time and space ....

[@HistoritorJimaldus]

Spaced and Toast as well

[@retro-robbo]

You didn't catch the cameo from Super Hans (Matt King), playing Raymond Peterfellow the porn king.

[@oldcaptainjack]

Can I also be the one to point out, the Peter Stringfellow look-alike in Douglas's office with him is none other than SUPER HANS!!!!

[@ianbryan7976]

What I loved about the last episode is they made a proper episode instead of a thrown together gimmicky program. It was a true reflection of the quality of the show. Made me very happy.

[@zinnia2980]

We have loved watching The It Crowd again 👋😀 There are so many great British comedies. From the best and most popular Only Fools and Horses to Dads Army to Just Good Friends to Bread to The Thin Blue Line to Gimme Gimme Gimme to Derry Girls to Rising Damp to Not Going Out the list is endless 🔥👌

[@finncullen]

Paul Revere actually cried "The Redcoats are coming" - a lot of the colonists who considered themselves revolutionary still regarded themselves as British at the time.

[@krashd]

Exactly. I remember I pissed off an American tourist in London once because they described the founding fathers as one of the finest generations of Americans and I replied with "Yeah, because they were British." I was clearly joking but an amused American they were not.

[@phousefilms]

So sad that this is the last episode of "IT Crowd"to react to. Lmao, Moss subtly roasting Douglas is one of the best moments. "Book recommendation? I can't read!" LMAO, he sounds so proud about it. "Coffee Tramp Toss Bitch"and "Small Person Racist".

[@timothydebrus]

Add to the comments... If you like awkward cuts you really do have to watch Moss and Douglas Renholm in Garth Marenghi's Darkplace

11:42 - I was this years old when I realised that this Peter Stringfellow character here was played by Super Hans (Matt King) from Cheap Show. Maybe I clocked that years ago but had just plain forgotten. It caught me out this time of watching this episode.

[@johannesclericusparacelsus4084]

Darkplace is must watch, but I'm also recommending Saxondale. Everyone bangs on about Alan Partridge so much that Saxondale tends to get forgotten. Rock group roadie turned middle aged pest control operative with anger management issues. Its great.

Please add Phoneshop to your watchlist! ❤ Amazing show! First episode is a bit slow but picks up after that.

'Allo 'Allo, Black Books, Absolutely Fabulous, The Might Boosh, The League of Gentlemen

[@TONYCOV881]

If you love Kathy Burke from what she did with Harry Enfield then I recommend a sitcom she was in called "Gimmie, Gimmie, Gimmie." It does not contain Harry Enfield and it will probably take a few episodes but it is really really good. It is from 1999-2001.

Having seen what makes you laugh, I reckon "Coupling" would have you out of your chair quite a few times but "Black Books" is another silly one that might be further up your list. "Green Wing" is also pretty silly and has multiple great weird characters (including Mark Heap who played Jim in Friday Night Dinner).

Matt King (a.k.a Superhans in peep show) is Raymond Peterfellow which is a play on Peter Stringfellow who was an owner of several lap dancing bars. Almost forgot he was in this episode alongside Sanjeev Kohli best known for his role as Naveed in Still Game.

My son is autistic. When he was first diagnosed I broke the news by messaging family. Predictive text changed it to artistic spectrum.

The greatest British comedy, which is such a high benchmark, is without a doubt "Only Fools And Horses". You'll fall in love with the characters.

Hi King & Queen Boomer, I know I keep saying you should watch 'Garth Marenghis Dark Place' but if you love Moss & Mr Renholm then you will love, love, LOVE! 'Dark Place' Moss (Richard Ayoade) is so funny in it and think his best/funniest role and Matt Berry (Douglas/Mr Renholm) is his typical self being hilarious! Only one series ever made think 6 episodes so wont take long to get through.

Thanks so much, KB and QB! Really enjoyed your reactions to stuff I’ve loved and been “brought up on” this side of The Pond. At the risk of duplicating suggestions, or saturating your ideas, have you encountered any of the following gems (IMHO) of British comedy? … ‘Man Down’, ‘Black Books’, ‘The Armando Iannucci Shows’, ‘Toast of London’ and ‘Absolutely’ (not to be confused with the also good ‘Absolutely Fabulous’). All surprisingly underrated and off most people’s comedy radars, but cult classics of alternative British comedy. Also worth considering the one season ‘Garth Marenghi’s Dark Place’, which features Matt Berry and Richard Ayoade.

Yep that was a great bit not shown. Was surprised it wasn't in there.

[@anniesharp4871]

I've seen this episode multiple times and have only just realised that Jen and Roy's mockery of Moss' boardgame show is a self-mockery of The IT Crowd as a show itself. The IT Crowd had been off the air for three years when this final episode came about, so the three months since Moss' last Game Board episode seem to represent this time passing. Jen saying, "I feel like it's just happened," seems like a reference to how the actors probably felt upon returning -- the shock of three years passing since their last series. I don't know if this has been confirmed anywhere by the writers but it must be the case because they make such a point of including this conversation!

[@tileux]

Toast of London, for a matt berry overdose. Now that youve finished the show, go back to episode 1, season 1, the first 5 minutes or so, and check out who was in that basement toilet.
