"Ich bin ein nerd" means I am a nerd. I think it's meant to be a nod towards JFK's speech when he said 'Ich bin ein Berliner' (I am a Berliner)

[@EarthlyEden1]

Or it could be a nod to a german who says ''Ich bin ein'' followed by anything they are. Germans use it alot. 😅

[@brianm2881]

Wasn't the joke with JFK that he should have said, "Ich bin Berliner", because the "ein" is unnecessary for demonyms in German, but a Berliner is also a kind of donut, so when JFK said that, he was sort of saying "I am a donut"?

[@richardcarter5082]

It's weird that most Brits know this, yet I'm sure the vast majority of Americans don't. Btw it was a gaffe by JFK as a berliner usually refers to a doughnut, so he said 'I am a doughnut'

The boss, Matt berry, has been my celebrity crush since mighty boosh (like 2008). I moved to London for a few years around 2015, and was working at a restaurant in the soho area. One day I saw him walking across the street from my work, and he stopped in this power stance, dramatically pointed at some guy he was apparently meeting, and loudly, in a total Douglas voice said “You there!” I started laughing my ass off and ran from the table I was serving to grab my phone and get a photo of him. Only got his side/back from across the street, but still… it was such a cool moment for me.

The phrase "Tramps like us" is from the Bruce Springsteen song, "Born to Run". And a tramp is one of several slang terms for a homeless person, who sometimes would 'tramp around the country' by railroad, especially back in the middle of the 20th century.

'Ich bin ein Nerd' is a play on the phrase 'Ich bin ein Berliner' - translated 'I am a Nerd/Berliner'- which was in a famous kennedy speech made in Berlin during the cold war. It is an urban legend, that, as Berliner also means a type of Jelly Doughnut, the germans thought he was calling him self a doughnut.

22:22 - "Ich bin ein nerd!" is a play on the words of JFK, your ex-president, as he greeted the crowds at the Berlin Wall in the 60's, in what was then West Germany, where he said "Ich bin ein Berliner!" meaning "I am a Berliner"....though apparently, as a Berliner is a type of doughnut, he was also saying "I am a doughnut".

For anyone interested, IT stands for Information Technology, it's a wide field that has everything to do with building, maintaining, and deploying applications, websites, and other software. Software Engineering, DevOps, Web Development, and Data Science are some of the professional fields that come under IT.

All that could’ve been avoided if Roy had just simply rinsed his coffee-stained T-shirt in the sink in one of the men’s toilets and then put it back on. 😂

[@BeardyBaldyBob]

Douglas and Moss (the actors I mean) are also both in a show called "Garth Marenghi's Dark Place". It's a parody of an 80's horror hospital drama written by an awful horror author that is deliberately made to be absurd and ultra crappy mixed with a mockumentary on the production of the show. If you like the stupid humor I think you'd enjoy it. It really is absurd.

I.T. is not "Internet Technician" because the job involves maintaining the internal network that the company's computers use to talk to each other. They make sure the internal systems have a gateway to the internet where appropriate, but the internet service provider is the one responsible for supplying an internet connection to the building for the IT department to connect everyone to.

[@zedcarr6128]

15:50 IT also stands for Itchy Testicles, but don't get those mixed up. I made that mistake once, I was rubbing a DVD drive on my testicles 3 times a day for over a week, and they were still itchy. The cream from the chemist did the trick though, and I no longer have itchy testicles, however, my DVD drive isn't working now. Maybe squirting itchy testicle cream in it wasn't such a good idea after all? 🤔

Charlie Chaplin's character was always called the 'Tramp'. As his movies were in Hollywood I assume it was once a recognised word in the US. I assume it's from the verb 'to tramp' meaning walk heavily. Hence the joke, I went for a tramp in the woods but he got away.

The nerd quote is in reference to "Ich bin ein Berliner" a speech by United States President John F. Kennedy given on June 26, 1963, in West Berlin. Twenty-two months earlier, East Germany had erected the Berlin Wall to prevent mass emigration to West Berlin. The speech was aimed as much at the Soviet Union as it was at West Berliners. The famous phrases are "I am a Berliner" and "I am proud to be in Berlin" It is one of the best-known speeches of the Cold War and among the most famous anti-communist speeches, it was a powerful statement to the West Berliners now surrounded by the wall and Khruschev and the Soviets that the US would not abandon the West Berliners. Jen will not abandon the nerds, they need her - look at what happens when she leaves for one afternoon!
