Americans React | THE IT CROWD | The Dinner Party Season 2 Episode 4 | REACTION

[@ianmacpherson7620]

Richmond on the kitchen ceiling cracks me up every time. 😂🤣😅

[@joda6466]

Class visual joke. The direction of this series contributes to the comedy so much, the cuts and pans (usually to mosses expression) are brilliant.

[@davidz3879]

This is easily the best ep of The IT Crowd.

He's like the office Phantom 😂

[@necessaryevil3428]

​@@davidz3879 nope.... The Work Outing is far superior

[@ianmacpherson7620]

@@necessaryevil3428 That's a great episode too.

[@RenaissanceEarCandy]

I've only just realised Jen's catchphrase seems to be "TAXI!"

[@travelbugse2829]

I believe the idea of Jen trying for love and discovering a turkey caught on after the first series. "Taxi!" became something we could all see coming, but no less funny for that.

[@TheSimCaptain]

​@travelbugse2829 Similar to Elaine in Seinfeld.

[@ThreadBomb]

It was just a running joke for this season of IT Crowd.

[@andrewmarkland4231]

The irony that Jens friends are weirder than her work friends

[@pezdispencer113]

For the most part not really. Paula is completely normal, Moss' one handles alcohol really badly and was stated to have just come out of a long term relationship so was a bit party crazy which is generally transitory. Was mostly just Richmond's one that was weird AF.

[@megageek8509]

@@pezdispencer113you say not really when it was the whole joke that the writers were going for.

[@ghostparty2062]

"You have a beautiful skull" is weirdly adorable 😂

[@TheTurningWheel1]

Probably my favourite IT Crowd episode after the GAY one. All 3 of the women who play Jen's friends have been in Peep Show. The awkward one - April. The model - Toni's sister Paula. The drunk - Sophie's friend who she tries to set Mark up with.

[@davidcorbett341]

What a great comedy cast of characters the 4 of these are. Perfect how they react with eachother 😂

[@captbunnykiller1.0]

Richmond's girl is hilarious.

[@leec6707]

She played the same character in 'Peep Show'. She's funny.

[@Floyd13778]

They should have made her a recurring character. 'Look at me having an orgasm!' 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@TretTret-d4k]

Its very very rare that you get a main stella cast of comedy characters who meet new characters, who instead of being the foil to their goofy antics actually turn out to be worse than they are. The three women introduced in this episode are so awesome they actually out-goofed the main cast... Brilliant writing! Here they dont just play victims or even match the guys, they chewed them up 😂! Love this episode!

[@The-Underbaker]

Richmond hiding on the ceiling like a bat is my favourite moment of The I.T. Crowd, I was absolutely crying with laughter when I first saw it!

[@jameshardwick2726]

Moss is dressed to look like Richard Burton in the movie 'Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf'.

[@ThreadBomb]

Yes, and his hostile interaction with Margaret is sort of a parody of that movie.

[@MrUndersolo]

I love the whole 'Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?' vibe with Margaret and Moss!

[@SharmanSomerset]

Oh my gosh, look at me, loving this reaction to one of the funniest episodes of the show ever!

[@Nobuxia]

20:37 - Moss - "Who's a paedophile?!" - cracks me up every time 😆

[@jamesfield1674]

Just going to say exactly that, the delivery is just too good

[@pineapple-on-pizzas]

That thing Queen Boomer said about getting a hubby and baby from making the first move was lovely ❤

[@Some_Cat_]

Agreed. Women should make the first move more often.

[@Alvin-1138]

They have no idea how heartwarming that was!

[@sebastianjoseph2828]

"Oh look at me, having an o--" became a running joke in a past relationship because of this episode.

[@Chobbito]

Moss is just a genius child, I love him 😂

[@michaelmanktelow7177]

Forgotten how great IT Crowd was. Would definitely recommend Garth Marenghi's Dark Place as another series with Richard Ayode (Moss) & Matt Berry (Douglas). Great cheesy, absurdist series!

[@s1lentw1nter]

This is one of the best 4 minutes of darkplace I’ve ever seen kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWrZloKroqyhq7csi=nIuZGmAzd8q98Ag4

100% agree with this. Garth Marenghi's DarkPlace is perfectly absurd. And Black Books.

Skipper the Eyechild!

[@swingsloth]

I'll get a mop!

[@Goodpanda1307]

Black Books is another awesome riddle!!

[@LondonEve24]

The episode where Douglas leads a fitness class for his staff is one of the funniest things.

[@FFVison]

XD, the "you're hot... hold my puppy" thing reminds me of something that Douglas would do.

[@thecosmicyak1370]

Please watch The Mighty Boosh!!!

[@davidrowney6343]

I think this may be my fave IT Crowd episode.😅

[@HistoritorJimaldus]

8:05 ‘some kind of *stupid mouse*’ 😂

[@swingsloth]

Does anyone else think King and Queen would LOVE Black Books?!?

[@bergbaubergbau]

One of my three favorites. The other two are "The Work Outing" and "Jen The Fredo."

[@craftcrewtv8094]

Jen the Fredo is a fantastic episode, I think it's a bit underrated, since I haven't seen anybody talk about it yet.

[@lookathistory]

Another great British comedy series I think that the two of you will love is Coupling. It’s about a group of friends about the same age as you. The scripts are absolutely brilliant, check it out.

[@RobertTaylor-gz2fu]

Yes, I'm baffled at it never having been popular.

[@OldTechNerd]

Good suggestion.. I loved that show.

[@alanflor703]

Yes, I've suggested this here before so I'll just jump on the bandwagon.

Freaking love coupling! I still occasionally watch Jack davenport’s monologue rants for a laugh.

[@RobertTaylor-gz2fu]

@@amberdawn5372 Yes, but why wasn't it popular? Most people whom I mention it to haven't heard of it.

Great reaction to a great episode! The song playing at the end is Game of Pricks by Guided by voices…this episode introduced me to the band!!

[@robbishop1287]

Boomer you and your wife seem like such nice people. You can just tell you’re a sweetheart it’s really nice. Good guy

[@jasonwales6502]

So Richmond is played by Noel fielding..who is a comedy genius in his own right..and given your love of the strange goofy wacky etc you should watch the show he did with Julian Barrett, “the mighty boosh” it’s a surreal piece of magnificence..👍

[@Ian-lx1iz]

I think (25:44) ..that that bit is a spoof of 'Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf' in which Elizabeth Taylor played _Martha_ the recalcitrant wife to Richard Burton's long-suffering, cardigan-wearing _George_

[@aaronhanlon772]

Can't wait till season 3 and the " The Speech", "Friendface" & "Calendar Geeks" episodes where they really get on a roll! and virtually all of Season 4 is just amazing. I am glad they ended the series on a High with a single Episode for Season 5. IT Crowd is literally one of my absolute favourite shows. So glad you are enjoying it.

So Jen had the man of her dreams, only to leave him because his name was Peter File. Could he not have just changed his name?? It costs less than £50.

[@robertsutton7949]

To K D Fiddler?

[@yutehube4468]

This is my favourite episode even though the theatre one is probably funnier overall, there's certain bits in this that just kill me like Richmond pretending to be intellectual at the dinner party: "balsamic vinegar". The bit where he's stuck to the ceiling is my favourite bit in the whole of IT Crowd. This is also the one with that amazing song "Game Of Pricks". As funny as this is, you Boomers were just as funny: King: _"If you wanted to look at my dick"_ Queen: _"There's a hole"_ King: _"Oh yeah... there is a hole"_ LMAO 😂😂😂😂

It’s great to see American perspectives on British sitcoms. It seems we do laugh at the same things. In fact, in my top ten sitcoms I would definitely include Frasier, Cheers and MASH alongside Father Ted, Only Fools and Horses, The IT Crowd, Black Books, The Mighty Boosh, Fawlty Towers and Lead Balloon.

[@1funkyflyguy]

You can't forget Peep Show surely?

[@leec6707]

The actress playing Moss' date auditioned for the role of Jen. For part of the audition, she was asked to act like her shoes were hurting. So she took them off. She was obviously not cast and when you see Katherine's Jen in painful shoes, you can see why they chose her.

[@robh_uk]

Not often the reactions in a reaction vid are as funny as the comedy...you two crack me up.

[@seijika46]

"Bagged a normal" always gets me - particularly as its tacit admission that she is not one herself.

"Ooh! Look at me! Having an org*sm(!)" 😅🙃 is such a legendary line!

[@Paul_1971]

Defo one of my favourite eps - halarious!

[@daedelous7094]

The funniest part about this is how they all perform at the party contrasting to their normal selves Roy - The most socially competant of the bunch - Gets told "I can do better" Moss - The socially awkward one that hasn't known a relationship - Suddenly in a long term relationship Richmond - The freaking goth who got banished to a room for being so weird - Scores multiple times with someone who isn't even one herself.

[@michelebyrne1570]

If you like the inbetweeners and Father Ted you would like Derry girls. Set in 90s in Northern Ireland, mad teenagers. Very very funny

[@jakell99]

I think this beats Father Ted in that the writing had to be tighter, and the writers and cast rose to that challenge - edgy stuff _had_ to happen here because it's only really work that puts these characters into the same space. FT on the other hand was far more situational - the characters there were pretty much trapped in that environment (that feckin' Island as Father Jack said) and didn't need major events to propel them into sticky situations. FT was probably easier to writer once the characters had been established and also felt more 'comfy'. FT still wins overall though IMO, but only by a short margin..

@@KingBoomer You must have realised all along that she friendzoned you for the first few years you knew each other. You were attracted to her from early on, but she decided for the first few years that you were friendship material only. You didn't want to only be friends for those years, hence you were friendzoned. You've both talked on this channel about the friendzoning, though what hasn't been said is why she friendzoned you or what, a few years later, changed her mind. Being friendzoned is very common; being upgraded is much less common.

[@KingBoomer]

@@RobertTaylor-gz2fumen and women can be friends without trying to pork each other you know. And how come I didn’t friendzone her? What if we were dating other people back then? What if I was gay at the time?
