Peter WHAT?! Americans React To "The IT Crowd - S2E4 - The Dinner Party"

[@FrankIsh-v5l]

I love how this season all of jens story lines end with her yelling Taxi!!!

[@CTheRobot]

Easily my favourite episode of The IT Crowd 😂😂 “Omg! Look at me, having an orgasm!” 😂😂

[@toonbarmy4201]

Great how they mismatched the couples when it was clearly set up for perfect matches between the man-eater and Roy, the bonkers girl and Moss, and the mummy and the vampire 😆

[@Pietimethailand]

Lol. Your learning of UK culture is a joy to watch . Big lesson here. Dinner partys in England do not involve grilling, nor do they take place outdoors 😂. BBQ UK is a feast of rained upon meat, windswept guests, upset stomachs and broken plastic furniture. 😂😂

[@rossshepherd9836]

Big lesson here. The plural of a party is parties. In school we were taught to drop the Y and add "ies". Hope this helps.

[@goodshipkaraboudjan]

As an Aussie that lived in the UK for a bit I remember being invited to my first BBQ and never feeling further from Queensland. Had it all, including the burned sausages and the packet potato salad.

The cliff-hanger never pays off, I think what they meant was that the IT Crowd would be back for a second series, rather than "to be continued..." of the actual episode's plotline. Oh and Graham's name is pronounced "linner-han" like "dinner ban"

[@ManlyStump]

I may well be mixing it up with another series, but I seem to recall reading that Linehan struggled to come up with a storyline to carry on the cliffhanger so he just abandoned it. Thankful he did, as we got The Work Outing instead!

[@davidsouth9979]

This show and Father Ted both demonstrate nicely Stephen Fry’s theory that British comedy is based on losers, nerds and misfits almost without exception. American comedy is based on winners or successful people. Even flawed characters still have killer one liners that show they are the smartest in the room. Sinefield was a good show so was Friends up to a point but again smart one liners as was Frasier. British actors prefer to play life’s victims. However in real life they are mostly successful people. Take Katherine Parkinson who plays Jen in the IT Crowd: she went to Oxford University, a trained actor that has appeared on stage quite a few times has written plays as well. She has won awards for her stage work. Are British actors the best? In some cases and there’s a lot of them in the Marvel franchise and similar Hollywood films.

[@VFLPlus]

Like most ITC episodes this can function as a genius anthropology class. Apart from Roy being Irish, these are all accurate English stereotypes. Get over here to the UK. Go to any function and you’ll be able to spot people like all of these bonkers eejits. The horny drunk woman? Go anywhere in England where there’s alcohol and you’ll meet them.

When it comes to unfortunately named individuals a (unfortunately recently deceased) hall of fame Chicago middle linebacker always springs to mind. Although I've never heard anyone American comment on it for some reason. When I first saw the film Rocky, in which the title character has named his dog after the legendary number 51, I initially thought it was just a joke about dogs liking to sniff each other's bottoms.

[@donnieinman8049]

the wine name usually denotes the grape type it's made from, but I don't know if that's always the case. I don't really drink wine, I just keep a bottle of white and a bottle of red around for cooking.

[@MarkmanOTW]

In France, the wine is named after the geographic region it's from using certain grapes grown in that area (hence Burgundy, Champagne etc). Elsewhere the grape type can be used e.g. cabernet, merlot, suavignon to describe the wine type, and in some cases a generic term is given to a type of wine made of certain grape types from a certain region as they do in Italy - e.g. prosecco, chianti, primitivo, lugana, volpolicella, pecorino etc.
