Stress In The Workplace? We've Got A Solution For That | The IT Crowd

[@Maclabhruinn]

As a 30+ year veteran of the IT industry, I can confirm "IT Crowd" was a documentary, not fictional.

[@gommechops]

Including the D&D?

[@ramzi0]

I can also attest to that

[@Cookie__XD]

​@@gommechopswell sometimes

[@gommechops]

@@Cookie__XD 😁I love that, almost worth taking up a role in IT for.

[@LegendMkr7]

I have worked IT since 2016 straight out of college and other than working in the basement all I can say is yes

[@KingCarrot500]

Roy screaming 'MOSS!' right after asking if this was the stress class always cracks me up

[@milesjolly6173]

And the way they climb over the other people to get to their chairs 😂

[@lauraaa2222]

And then he's right behind him. Impossible to happen, because he was outside, but in silly comedy it's possible and hilarious. Like Jen's bent toes. Impossible but possible in comedy like this.

[@theobserver9849]

So funny. Watch all seasons. Wait a few years. Repeat. Never gets old.

[@Allenmarshall]

Yee-up

[@LumberJacked89]

Same here with peep show aswell

[@AbdielQuezada]

I concur

[@JohnLuckPickard141]

I actually rewatched it five times in the span of a year and still never got tired of it

[@johnwt7333]

If you walk in front of a magnet it only takes a few months to fade away from memory instead of years

[@reml75]

One of my favorite episodes. “Are you stressed, Jen?!”😂😂😂

[@eth0]

No? Are you sure?

As a IT department survivor myself, it's relatable and hilarious.

Same here haha

[@handle_of_ap]

Richard Ayoade and Matt Berry. Two gems I discovered through this show.

[@kashankhan6950]

Unhand me priest

[@kristimunn3010]

This show is so chaotic, I LOVE it! Moss, Roy and Jenn my favorite characters on TV

[@Random-xw1fg]

Douglas ❤

[@WhatInTheDeepestShadeOfFeck]

Fire, exclamation mark. Fire, exclamation mark. Help me, exclamation mark. 123 Carrendon Road. Looking forward to hearing from you. All the best, Maurice Moss.

[@borstenpinsel]

Dear Sir /Madam No, that's too formal 😂

[@lauraaa2222]

"I'll just put this over here, with the rest of the fire."

[@granthurlburt4062]

I only started watching Father Ted because of this show but for me, the leap in humour, context, and relevance is remarkable. There are so many brilliant parts to it that I've never seen anywhere else

[@anyonebutjon]

Moss asking, "when did u grow a beard?" kills me.

[@KakarotOwns]

When the stress teacher gets stressed out 😂

[@ScorpyCFS]

The fingers gets me cracking up every time. Been there, experienced that

[@stephenrose8300]

They should ask "Have you seen "The IT Crowd" during job interviews to make sure they know what they are getting into.

[@LordChristoff]

Fun fact, for all who have played Amnesia a Machine for Pigs. The Stress speaker is the voice actor for Mandus.

[@lystic9392]

Wow...!

[@matttrafton2725]

Thanks for posting these. IT Crowd is theee best.

[@realtalkz3930]

Another British classic comedy that has aged like a fine wine.

[@MarkCerbo]

You’d be stressed losing it with these two. 🤣

[@mark.J6708]

Absolutely loved this show!!!!

[@chippysteve4524]

Great show. Why didn't u include the brilliant sketch where Chris Morris bursts in and says "We're having a war on stress.Anyone who is still stressed by the end of today is FIRED!"?????

[@lennytlm]

That was at the start of the episode it's on KZbin somewhere

[@ravinraven6913]

I thought that part was slowing it down, glad they got rid of him for his "son" He was good, but I found his parts slowed everything down. I usually don't like new characters part way through but His "son" was much better than I gave him credit for, so was a nice replacement

[@borstenpinsel]

Stress is a disease people. And I'm the cure. I'm the doctor with a the cure. No, I'm a general and it's still a war. A war on disease.... STRESS Why do I know it by heart?😮😅

[@Random-xw1fg]

​@@ravinraven6913I love both Douglas and his late father 😂

[@MinusMedley]

Dear sir/madam...Thanks for posting part two.

[@hoodoo2001]

One of the funniest scenes but not the only funny scene in this great series.

[@stephenderbyshire7849]

The writers must be fans of Laurel and Hardy, as they are replicating this scene from the L and H movie ' Sons of the desert.

[@InconspicuousChap]

Heard about a guy who was turned down at a software developer interview because he was not geeky enough. Well, these two chaps would definitely be accepted there.

[@smgdfcmfah]

I loved this show!

[@frankbeans5921]

It was a sleeper

[@user-zg5ey5xo9i]

It was great.

[@ackerjawaka1966]

I watched it all again last week 😜 I usually watch it at least once a month and it still has me in stitches 😜

[@smgdfcmfah]

@@ackerjawaka1966 Where do you stream this? I can't find it anymore.

[@tombpunk]

Note how much the stresses lady in the chair is laughing. :D

[@fiandpete]

I've only just realised today that the opening to this scene was a tribute to Laurel and Hardy in Sons of the Desert.

[@avosmash2121]

Interesting! how so?

[@fiandpete]

@@avosmash2121 watch Sons of the Desert first ten minutes or so and you'll see.

[@kikidevine694]

The shoes 🤣🤣🤣

[@ariadneschild8460]

Roy does have that effect on people lol. 😅

[@pokeysdad17]

this and coupling were a lot of fun.

[@DirtCheapFU]

I really enjoyed Coupling. I actaully enjoyed seeing the Actors go off and do big projects.

[@theinternet4040]

THE SHOEESSSS-UH

[@erikahahn5823]

I had shoes in in NYC that were so uncomfortable I nipped into DSW at midtown to get flip flops to wear home.

[@missmandolinaa]

this episdoe was so funny. I absolutely love this show!!! Work Outing is one of my favorite episodes!!

[@PamAdkisson]

My favorite show. The Best!!

[@levitation25]

The stress class scene is based on and a tribute to comedy icons Laurel & Hardy.

[@azanova9544]

I also think Simon pegg did this same scene from SOTD ..... also in obvious tribute.

[@HobbyBowler]

This is the best episode in my opinion. Second best: the fire at sea parks :D

[@bekindandmerciful5145]

absolute credit to those actors for having such poker faces. I don't think I could have done it

[@miltclark717]

Rediscovering the comedy is hilarious 😂

[@Boss-zo4lw]

Fun fact, this was based on a Laurel & Hardy sketch from one of their movies.

[@torstenscholz6243]

Yup, the beginning when they enter the room is a homage to Sons of the Desert. Linehan confirmed that in the DVD commentary.

[@lauraaa2222]

It's when he screams at that woman while she's hooked up to the machine! 😅😅😅

[@FerretBarret]

1:11 Did he hurt his hand or his foot?

[@kikinhunt47]

Hand 😂

[@Interitus1]

his foot, Moss moved jumped the chair forward and it lands on Roys foot

[@jeshkam]

​@@Interitus1It's most definitely his hand.

The reaction to the finger getting caught in the chair makes me think it might have happened for real. Lol.

[@tradtke101]

Just to explain the joke for non-IT people: he should have left the soldering iron turned OFF and not turned it ON again, which is what caused the fire, which he then ought to have reacted to more promptly.

[@MrNeedlekiller]

Oh really?

[@mikebonilla2534]

Was this a bonus episode?

[@amemelia]

No, s1 e2

[@azanova9544]

This is a homage to laurel and hardy .

[@automat3000]

An homage, if you will.

[@matambale]

@@automat3000 That depends on whether or not you pronounce the 'h' in 'homage'. (I don't pronounce the h, so it's 'an homage' for me. Something like 50% of us pronounce the 'h', so for them, it's 'a homage')

[@automat3000]

@@matambale Actually, I do, so in my case it is actually "a homage". I was thinking about the stressed syllable rule - the one that means it's "a history" but "an historic". The first syllable is stressed in homage, so if you pronounce it with an h, it has to be "a".

[@kickedinthecalfbyacow7549]

This was filmed in front of a live studio audience, it isn’t canned laughter. If you don’t think it’s funny that’s fair enough (you might be American, in which case I’m not surprised) but plenty of people do enjoy it.
