ROLE PLAYING THE EXECS?! Americans React To "The IT Crowd - S4E1 - Jen The Fredo"

[@systemofapown]

Jen's referring to We Will Rock You the musical!

[@colinwilson4609]

Isn't it We Will Rock You! the musical?

[@creodas]

The realisation from Spencer about the Vagina Monologues vs Dan knowing all about it is GOLD

[@stewedfishproductions7959]

Just in case you didn't realise, but; One of the most memorable scenes in movie history: Al Pacino, as Michael Corleone grabs his brother Fredo's _(played by 'the late', great John Cazale)_ face, gives him a long kiss on the lips and says, "I know it was you, Fredo. You broke my heart..!" - Thus, "I know it was you, Jen. You broke my heart...!"

[@colinwilson4609]

She was almost definitely referring to "We Will Rock You" the musical.

[@megdelaney3677]

Another vote for Black Books series next!

[@D0NL18K0]

I've watched the IT crowd countless times for 17 years, its a fresh watch with you guys! Love the vibe! Good to see you're embracing IT!

[@wadimir]

next show must be Black Books!

[@dracos24]

definitely.

[@debbieday5812]

YES! The wine episode especially!

Graham Linehan's Black Books should be next... Dylan Moran, Tamsin Greig & Bill Bailey. Another gem of a series.

[@jakell99]

It's great how we see a unexpected side to Moss in this episode where he uses his geekiness to an almost heroic end

[@joeboucher695]

The woman reading from Douglas's old interview ("I like my women like l like my toast") is Dolly Wells who played Jen's model friend who had been in a car crash and was wearing a head bandage in season 2's "The Dinner Party".

[@JesseVin11]

I forgot the "I'm glad Jerry died" line it bloody floored me

[@The-Underbaker]

Jen's talking about the "We Will Rock You" musical from 2002, which features songs from the band Queen.

[@giovanniscavetta9080]

Can't wait for you guys reacting to the Countdown episode.

[@paullatham8486]

Shhh, don't forget the first rule of Countdown club!

[@Vetis213]

That talking fannies line is one of my favourites from the show.

[@EveryoneWhoUsesThisTV]

The best episode of Community is about D&D and one of the best episodes of IT Crowd is about D&D. D&D is a harbinger of tabletop fun.......

[@AutomaticDuck300]

This is not that far from reality as well. I’m in a D&D group and it’s a good laugh.

[@captvimes]

The godfather references are genius. Spencer should react to this again after watching it. Dans reaction when he knew he hadnt seen it was golden.

[@FrankIsh-v5l]

Even all these years later, when someone says something has subtitles I can’t help but say “subtiiiitttteeelllls? I can’t read when I’m trying see things!” Such a quotable show.

[@OldDevlin]

Thank god for Daniel. At least he actually understands the humour they're reacting to.

[@sebf5815]

We Will Rock You is a west end musical by QUEEN and Ben Elton

[@philnabbs]

The Vagina Monologues, "its not for you Spencer" 😂😂😂

[@BobGnarley.]

One of my favorite episodes. S4 pops off

[@seijika46]

"It's not for you Jen." and "Like someone broke up with Stalin." are easily two of my fave bits from the whole series. (Note that even if you don't watch very famous films or even television, you generally pick up information about plot, scenes and characters through cultural osmosis as they are frequently referenced elsewhere - it matters much less as to whether you've seen it, as long as you get what they mean from it.)

[@sparkequinox]

I never got the john joke until just now "Show them johns a good time", the two guys named john, also the name "a john" that has a prostitute.

[@majesticspaceduck876]

Watching you guys Google "We Will Rock You" was painful 😂. It's a musical based around Queen songs. A bit like what they did with the ABBA musical "Mama Mia"

[@ianoo23]

Hey guys, we will rock you is a musical that’s played in London for years

[@IanDuckworth-n4b]

" You broke my heart, I know it was you," To Jen was a direct quote From Michael to Ferodo in the Godfather. Ian Dee.

[@jamesbraxton6085]

I used to work in the building directly opposite where the trophy nearly hits Jen. Always makes me laugh seeing that part (they also filmed other scenes used in the show there)

[@shortstackedartist]

Talking Fannies, Fannies means something different in the UK! :P

[@bonjy3701]

They know.

[@easterdeer]

I think this one and the Work Outing one are my joint favourites of the whole thing. Moss is the world's greatest friend, it's so cute 😄There are definitely more male D&D players but I know a number of women who are into it too. Douglas calling Jen crazy in front of the feminists though 😂It's how he delivers it - just perfect. Thanks guys!

[@iangreen4572]

We will rock you is a musical by Ben Elton, based on Queen songs and first performed in 2002 ( kind of like Mama Mia ) . It was the first result on Google, surprised you didn't find it.

[@mpmlopes]

She's not talking about the documentary, she's talking about the a musical theatre that was showing in the West End for at least a couple of decades, it used to have a huge statue of Freddie Mercury, just in front of the Tottenham Court Road station.

[@MelanieMaguire]

The first office job I had, there was a group of D&D'ers who went off to play every lunchtime. All men. I never knew what it was about. I'm amazed it's still going, I would have thought that online gaming would have taken over. I'm so glad that real life D&D is still a thing.

[@the98themperoroftheholybri33]

People who have never met irl play DnD too, there's a website dedicated to it, but most of us play over discord, I've met some life long friends on there

[@nope66755]

i must have been emotional the first time i saw this episode coz i burst into tears when roy did 😂

[@miff227]

I've spent 3 evenings with my girl so far (she's in a far away country). We've watched 2 episodes of IT crowd already. Priorities ;-)

[@Joseph-R]

A lot of people say The Work Outing is their favorite episode, but this has always been my favorite. The DND like RPG session is just too good.

[@cynthiaschultheis1660]

Richard Ayoade is in "THE WATCH" with Vince Vaughn & Ben Stiller...pretty good😆😄😂😅😂😄

[@EmperorSmith]

I reckon these guys would probably like Garth Marenghi's DarkPlace. Possibly the greatest televisual event since Quantum Leap, and I don't say that lightly.

[@grrfy]

Very True,But can they handle the horror master that is Garth Merenghi(Dreaweaver,Visionary)?

[@cynthiaschultheis1660]

[@Arksimon2k]

One of my favourites! Especially as a fan of D&D. The next one is a classic too!

[@marvinc9994]

If you guys REALLY like Matt Berry - then I DARE you to watch _Snuff Box_ (where he co-stars with Rich Fulcher, as a fellow hangman). And I believe we've also mentioned that other Hiden Gem - _Garth Marenghi's Darkplace_ ? The darker side of British Humour - which will NOT appeal to fans of _I Love Lucy_ . Viewer discretion IS advised! Now get weaving Lads: you can only live ONE Life at a time ;-)

[@joethomas5216]

So when is the inaugural Embrace the Suck Dungeons & Dragons adventure?

[@IsabelleRSG]

the series is getting stronger as the seasons progress....

[@dzod]

Guys you've got it all wrong. We will rock you is a Queen (the band not the monarch) themed London west end musical where the audience is encouraged to participate. It has been described at prole feed at its very worst.

[@stevenprout6058]

You have to watch Black Books which Graham Linehan also helped to write

[@creodas]

Also, the D&D group I run is comprised of 5 females and one male... So you would be surprised...

[@eolsunder]

sounds horrible.

[@chiefaberach]

The Vagina Monologues was a real show about the taboos around women discussing sex (I think). Richard Herring had a comedy show in the next room at The Edinburgh Festival & was drowned out by the noise of all the women. His show the next year was called Talking Cock. 😂

[@Wang_Monkey]

We used to do our D&D games in a gaming cafe. They had 1000s of games, plus served food and drink. Don't go there as much because it's a bit pricey, but it was great and always packed, had to book the table! Oh and our D&D games had plenty of sex in them, very Game of Thrones! xD

[@jenniferrichardson8474]

aaahhh... you're perfectly fine Spence. I don't expect you to be familiar with a play that was popular back in 1996. In fact there's plenty of plays and Broadway shows that I'm not familiar with either. So you're fine.

[@JohnUK22]

I always find myself so drawn into the Elfin Queen bit that I can never understand why the audience is laughing at what seems such a poignant moment.

[@daffodil800]

Love how two of them are called John. So random.

[@jakell99]

It's less random later on when Jen gives the pep talk to Roy and tells him to go and make those Johns happy - which I only spotted when watching it this time..

I get that the group that plays DnD is largely homogenous, but you are not fully experiencing DnD if you just play with people that look like and have similar experiences to you. Variety truly is the spice of life, and you are going to have some BORING play if everyone is just a cis/het white man.

Shame you have to issue mini disclaimers after laughing at certain subjects. Britisn culture in particular has progressed through the use of humour to address issues. The golden staff of cancelation is often wielded nowadays.
