The sound of RELIEF in his voice when he says "It's a VERY weird place!" It's like he's thinking "Oh, thank god I'm not crazy!"

[@chinpo4520]

pingu53 what if I told you that there was a failed US pilot of IT crowd. Spoilers; it wasn't great. Also spoilers: it was the exact same script as the first episode.

[@MKtheinstrumentalist]

_Almost_ the same - Reynholm was secretly sane and one of the prostitutes from when Moss _didn't_ lose his glasses was trans. Probably the only thing in that pilot that was funnier than the original.

[@Kealan124]

The original Top Gear trio could work. Being British is a requirement.

[@Wolfsheim23]

Yep I saw it.. it was done with more American references, but it was the same plot. It was so weird though seeing british/monty python humor done by Americans and it just didn't work.

[@theoctobassfactory4170]

I think Jerry, Kramer and Elaine could pull it off...this plot always reminded me of Seinfeld

[@GwresYnKernow]

My favourite part of this episode is later, where Moss builds a model of the Sea Lion enclosure to prove that a fire isn't possible. :P

[@_Winfried_]

Didn't Roy build it to prove it is possible?

[@bsvenss2]

Winfried Yes he did, not Moss.

[@jabberw0k812]

aaaand then it catches on fire. I think.

At first, I thought that the joke would be that the others would think Roy's crazy or insensitive for not believing it, then the scene devolving into this heated meta-absurdist discussion just slew me. Great scene.

Why is it so hard for nearly everyone on youtube to understand that people attend comedy show tapings for free and laugh and that almost no show in the US or UK in the last decade or two uses canned laughter. It's like everything I watch there's the same discussion in the comments.

[@joelk3187]

Yeah that’s why you never see the other side of any rooms in these types of shows, because the audience is there🙄 people should realise it’s not a laugh track.

[@TheMoggFREE]

@@joelk3187 the audience are also told to laugh. it's teamwork. I can imagine being an audience member told to laugh on a joke I have heard twice or thrice straight because of re-shoots.

[@krashd]

The UK has never used canned laughter, a show tried it in the 70's and the Broadcasting Standards Commission ruled it to be misleading, and I believe that although the US conceived it they haven't used it since the 80's for the same reason. Shows today are either filmed in front of an audience, shown later to an audience or simply don't have laughter present so people who criticise shows for canned laughter are either misidentifying a studio audience or are idiots/trolls.

[@josephteller9715]

Until 2020 and they all did used canned laughter for several years.

[@FlexoShootFlexo]

I don't know whether it sounds weird in the UK to have an indefinite article precede a plural subject, but here in the US it makes the line about 10x funnier
