Mother-flippin' Ploppers! *THE IT CROWD* 4x05 Reaction - "Bad Boys"

[@apkelly01]

Richard Ayoade has a show called Travel man, where each episode he spends 48hrs in different locations. You must checkout the episode where he brings Chris O'Dowd to Vienna and they visit the snow globe museum. Absolutely hilarious 😂

[@tinyderppotato5410]

them having cake always cracks me up

[@Tomp4ul]

The schadenfreude was unreal with the snowglobe hahaha

[@mrwomby5007]

The bit where Jen calls the French tech support guy is apparently based on a real life experience of Graham Linehan’s.

[@valerieh84]

French? Well done on recognising a language or a specific accent 😂 ! It sounds like a hodgepodge of Flemish and Swedish to me

[@mrwomby5007]

@@valerieh84 I was going by the placing of his lips!

[@Wiley_Coyote]

Here's a rule: Watch anything with Richard Ayoade. It's ALWAYS funny. Comedies, Panel Show Guest, Panel Show Host, his Travel Show. Everything.

[@getdavo1]

My favorite moment was when Moss's default distraction is to just start panic kissing Roy :-) ( Oh...and "Vista!!!! We are all going to die!" )

[@Dublin.655]

So many fantastic moments in this episode. Probably one of the most quotable episodes in my friend group.

Clive Sinclair is a British inventor who was involved in early computing. He also invented an electric vehicle called a Sinclair C5

3:09 is so relatable. my mum asked me to setup a facebook account for her on her laptop and her desktop looked just like that-full of viruses and floating ads. i offered to install an antiviral software to fix it and she refused saying she likes how it is because she already knows where everything is. i installed it anyway for security. i think she's one of those who flourishes in an organized mess, their stuff may seem like chaos to an outsider but they know exactly where to find anything they need.

[@sannaolsson9106]

I think you would love Keeping Up Appearances if you haven't already seen that. Older show from the 90s. Hyacinth Bucket lol

[@sparkequinox]

Yes!

[@HermanVonPetri]

"It's pronounced... bouquet."

[@precursors]

The bucket woman!

[@BobGnarley.]

did you see that ludicrous display last night

[@WoodrowsRandomReviews]

Sir Clive Sinclair created the ZX Sprectrum and other tech stuff. He's kinda the British Steve Jobs.

[@simonhill4021]

....... only just!

[@jumpjet777]

You know nothing about computing technology unless you've had a Sinclair ZX81 (1k ram) with a wobbly 16kb external ram pack. 😜

[@paulmidsussex3409]

Also the Sinclair C5 electric car so that makes Elon Musk the alien hybrid Sir Clive Sinclair.

[@drewe4127]

You’re right about Grand Designs. Worth a look at in the later series when the host has developed a very wry style of dealing with the more grandiose projects. Great show if you’re interested in sometimes crazy people building their dream homes. And not all succeeding.

[@DrDaveW]

Sir Clive Sinclair is one of the reasons you are doing this!

[@nether2227]

OOONNEE of my all time favourites of the entire show, definetly one of my top 5 episodes i think

[@tuntemon]

I would like to see you do Black Books. A fantastic show as well

[@andrewjones575]

Is Peep Show winning the vote for next comedy?

[@nightowlnzab]

Last I saw the poll closed with both Peep Show and What we do in the shadows tied at 40% each. Really wishing for Peep Show, given how much Neil aligns with David Mitchell - I think he'd love it.

[@johnboy2562]

The great Kevin Eldon played the French technical assistance guy. Had his own, never repeated late night BBC 2 comedy series a few years ago that was quite surreal.

[@ninagray4441]

He's also part of the excellently surreal sketch show 'Big Train'.

[@AzimovTube]

The actor Kevin Eldon.

[@paulmidsussex3409]

The funny thing is realising how many small parts in Sketch shows and comedy series Olivia Coleman had before they gave her an Oscar.

[@carolmurphy7572]

Right in the middle of the bomb squad scene being revealed, my internet connection died. For a moment, I thought it was your idea of a joke! I eventually turned it off and turning it on again!

[@CucumberpatchAddict]

that bit with moss in the beginning always reminds me of the rap sketch in abofal where hugh laurie calls himself a goodass motherliker xD

[@veryvarley6706]

Any phone line where you actually need help is just like this ---- anytime they call you trying to sell something it is a clear as day. PLOPPERS to the lot of them.

[@deadcatthinks6725]

What OS does it use? Vista WE'RE GOING TO DIE!! love it.

[@valerieh84]

Well Vista died pretty quickly

[@iamdb1990]

I live near that shopping centre, wish I'd known they were filming, I'd have watched from afar

[@davidtaylor9593]

The Mighty Boost episode with Richard A as a deeply sarcastic shaman is one for you

[@THEonlyAEON]

Do you speak of the crunch?

[@empsmith]

@@THEonlyAEON You know nothing of the crunch!

[@theemjay]

"Who's Clive Sinclair?" ???? WHAT???

[@miff227]

but you've just found the new show! I predict: Neil Talks 2025 season: Grand Designs season 13

[@katiegwynn4495]

I just found you last night. I'm sleepless and have time to kill. So I caught up halfway on Lost (you are SHARP) and now this!! I'm so happy. I love this show

[@andrewjones575]

Is Richmond unseen in most eps because he's in the server room?

[@glenbroad6943]

It's because Noel Fielding didn't have time to do the show. If I remember correctly.

[@GingerDwarf]

Easily my favourite episode.

[@StrayJohn]

Get Shorty , which stars Roy (Chris o'dowd) is brilliant

[@empsmith]

FAQ About Time Travel was another good one.

[@StrayJohn]

@@empsmith yeppers that was an awesome movie !

[@noxteryn]

Great playlist! I really enjoyed your analysis of the series. I'm not as harsh as you, but I do agree that certain jokes were in poor taste. The worst of all is the "I used to be a man" thing, because as far as I know no trans person would ever say something like that. Things like gender identity or sexual orientation are innate. People don't say "I used to be gay", it makes no sense. Also, the idea that a trans woman would be super strong or have manly hobbies are all incredibly trite. The rest of the gendered jokes, I was generally fine, though it did bother me that Douglas didn't get "punished" enough for his jackassery. He would insult a feminist, and then the feminist would sleep with him. It's kinda incel-ly. But the actor's portrayal of the character was phenomenal. His delivery of "Don't listen to her, the bitch is crazy." is one of my favourites in the entire show.

[@SmartK8]

Funny as.. flip.

[@cynthiaschultheis1660]

CHECK OUT "THE TERROR" (was on AMC) IT IS EXCELLENT!!!!! BIG CAST, GREATSERIES BASED ON TRUE STORY!!!🙏🙏🙏🤓🤓🤓🙏🙏🙏
