*The IT Crowd Season 2* First Time Watching REACTION 

Should I react to Season 3? SEASON 1 IT CROWD: ru-vid.com/group/PLQHhQlj8i5drV1Iau2HeUnhy6p1_VCOtM

I think The Work Outing may be the best episode of The IT Crowd ever. Its perfect.

“People, what a bunch of bastards” that is my spirit quote 😂

The sudden moment where Jen turns to see Moss behind the bar & taking her order is the funniest scene in TV history

God, I love "the work outing" so much - "Im disabled" (with the voice and everything) is a running joke in my family, and the bit where Jen turns around and sees Moss as a bartender is one of my favorite jokes in anything ever.

A full season reaction in 1 video? No 45 minute introduction with your childhood backstory? Commentary that goes with the show rather than over it? No long pauses? This is a reaction channel I can get behind, great vid!

49:30 Moss appearing on the wrong TV show is a reference to a hilarious 2006 event when BBC News interviewed the wrong person live on air about an ongoing Apple legal case. The man, who could hardly speak English, had told them: "I'm here for the IT interview" -- but meaning the job interview he'd come for. They pushed him into the studio and in front of the cameras. The man, Guy Coma, shared the same first name as the Internet legal expert who turned up late.

Jen: "I like this boss." Denholm: [unalives himself]

Jen, I have never seen a reactor laugh so much as you did during the work outing scene. ------- I've never gotten so much joy from a YT video ever. Thanks so much

The really, really weird thing about 'Moss and the German' is that it's based on something that actually happened (the audience back in 2007 would have recognised its origin).

“The Work Outing” is one of the best episodes ever. It’s comedy gold, I was laughing so hard and your reaction to Season 1 was fantastic Jen. I knew this one was gonna be a blast as well.

"The work outing" is one of the best episodes of comedy I've ever seen - pretty much brilliant from start to finish and of course with the IT-crowd specialty - plant a small joke in the beginning, bring it back for a big laugh in the end 😄

Your laugh is worth the price of admission.

Garth Marenghi's Darkplace is a classic cult sitcom, and has both Moss and Douglas in it as main cast members

The Work Outing and The Dinner Party are 2 of my top 3 favorite episodes.

Denham's death; Anyone who is old enough will be reminded of Robert Maxwell, who "accidentally" drowned from his private yacht under the same "pension fund" cloud.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Matt Berry. He's hilarious, and you should totally watch What We Do In The Shadows.

Matt Berry, who plays the boss has had a number of albums out. He plays every instrument, writes every tune and sings

It's definitely the hardest I've seen you laugh - and the hardest any episode of comedy has made me laugh by a country mile! Amazing

Trying to imagine Roy's reaction if he'd heard Jen say "He's a power bottom!"

"There's somebody at the door" is from a UK children's TV series (or a couple of them) starring Rod Hull and Emu.

I use the gif of Denholm walking out the window way more often than is good for one's mental health

It's Friday night, I sit down to relax, oh look, a new video! 10 minutes in, and Jen is laughing hysterically at a guy in a wheelchair. I feel like this bodes well for the weekend!

'the works outing' is, I think, the single funniest episode of anything I've ever seen

Richmond's girl at the dinner party is so funny.

"I love Willy's" Jen 2024.... Honestly that episode killed me, I was crying with laughter and I think it's the most I've witnessed Jen laughing 😂

This show is so hard to get people to watch but it is unexpectedly brilliant and hilarious. Not a second of time is wasted in this show-- every 5 seconds of screen-time has some purpose you can gleam from it. It reminds me of trying to get my friends to try and play Harvest Moon 64. It was such a great game. "Okay guys you gotta try this game!" "What's it about" "uhh.. well, you run a farm and-" "Ahh and you get attacked by aliens and have guns and stuff?" "...no, you grow crops. but you also have animals! like cows and chickens. You brush them and talk to them every day and they like you!" "and... they... fight for you, or?" "No, no, no. you can get milk from cows and eggs from chickens and then sell them. Eventually you'll have money to get better tools so you can farm faster and..." "okay but what else can you do?? it can't just be farming?" "No, of course not. You can romance the local girls and you can forage for berries, and upgrade your house so you can cook some great food, and fishing! There's a lot to be said about fishin why are you running away from me?!" harvest moon related story: I first rented it at blockbuster video and it had a save file at day 1 so I just assumed this was the default and played on. I did everything a normal and went to the village and bought every upgrade I could and bought everything I felt like and as many seeds as possible and went about my business making the best farm that was impossible. I had to return it to the store unfortunately and then a week later when I could convince my mudder to let me rent it again, It unfortunately wasn't the same cartridge, so I restarted... and... it turns out some legend had created a fresh save at day 1 and just loaded a gameshark and cheated infinite coins (or 999,999 or whatever) into the account and nothing else.. and then saved and quit so the next guy would have basically infinite gold in his playthrough. I had no idea. It wasn't until I got the game for christmas one year and played for months that I got back to the point that I got in that one week and was able to actually "finish" the game. (everyone gives up at like year 10 lol, and I got ocarina of time and majoras mask after that...)

I love how season two Immediately goes off the rails in the first episode. "I'M DIASABLED!..... LEG DISABLED." My coworker and I would see each other in the hall and just quote it all the time LOL!! My favorite episode.

The guy who put an ad in a paper to eat a person is based on a real guy who did it named Armin Meiwes. He was German, and did find a volunteer (Bernd Brandes) who agreed as long as he could eat a part of himself first. They both dined on Bernd's severed man part before Armin ended Bernd and ate portions of him. Rammstein made a song about it called "Mein Teil".

I love it how this is making you crack up! ... I recommend "Coupling" from about 20+ years ago, if you like British comedy. It is a comedic compass to female-male relationships 😀

"Theres somebody at th door" Its from Rod Hull and emu, in the pink windmill, and old childrens tv program

My Friday evening just peaked! Taxi!

Denholm's rather... swift exit is one of the most underrated jokes in television. And then we get Matt Berry. And I love Matt Berry. I can't believe I totally forgot about Moss and the German. 😂

Gawd i love Matt Berry. Jen needs to add Garth Marenghi's Dark Place to the watch list after this

You might like Mighty Boosh if you like this. Maybe even "what we do in the shadows"

Just a little something to show my support Jen. Congrats again on 1.5k in the chat for the premiere, that’s amazing you deserve it for all the hard work you do to entertain us and this was one of your best reactions ever.

Really enjoyed this. Thanks Jen. Yes to more IT crowd & British comedy.

"FAAATHEEEER!" What an entrance 😂

FATHEEEER! ✊

The finale of "The Work Outing" is some of the best comedy writing I've ever seen. It's just five minutes of straight punchlines and callbacks. Absolutely phenomenal. And then to go from that straight into the introduction of Matt Berry's character in the next episode... Absolutely stunning to me that this show isn't more popular

I love hearing your pure joy and laughing during this. Britain has some great comedies.

55:01 -- Funny you should mention that. One of my friends was going through resumes back in the late 90s for a now-defunct company, and I kid you not, someone actually put on their resume: "Acquired Magical Leather Armor in Ultima Online."

Yeah, the Work Outing is my favorite episode. Never heard Jen laugh so hard, it was so enjoyable to hear her laugh like that. Love this show. Love her reactions. Well done again!

The Work Outing is the funniest TV episode ever of anything!

Jen's laugh is so contagious! 🤣

Moss and the German is probably one of my favorite episodes of any show.

I actually saw Kathleen Parkinson in the theatre. She was starring in Much Ado About Nothing at the National Theatre, in 2022. A brilliant performance, lots of physical comedy and a lot of Jen! You can find clips on RU-vid.

“The work outing” might just be the best comedic tv episode ever written and acted in television history! It’s so well done I watch this episode once or twice every year! Easiest answer to the question: What do you think is the single best single episode of all time from any comedy tv show!❤🎉❤

There's somebody at the door! There's somebody at the door! There's somebody at the door!

You have no idea how much this made my day ❤️ Also great editing keeping a lot of the important bits while cutting out some filler. Great job on that! 👍🏻)

You can see when Jen just wants to have a fun good time.

The actor who plays Johan (the German) also plays a German officer in Band of Brothers. He's the one Winters allows to keep his sidearm when he surrenders. Philip Rham. The irony is, he's playing Germans, but he's actually English, born in the UK. The cannibal character he's playing here is based on a true character. Armin Meiwes. A German cannibal who placed an advert on the internet looking for a willing victim. Although Armin was a murderer as well as a cannibal.

As a smoker, the smoking gulag is truth. The German is about Armin Weiwes who did have someone over for dinner.

I would always do the "FAAAATHEEEEEEEER!" with my dad. 🤣🤣

At 7:27 I have never heard Jen laugh so hard at anything!!!

Father Ted is worth a watch, Graham Linehan wrote that too

I've been ill so I've watched Jen's reaction to this 3 times... so far

This episode is my favorite of the series. That's saying a lot because I'm a big fan of this series. This day my wife and I do the voice and the I'm disabled and we always laugh. Also when the camera turns on Moss and he's tending bar I thought I was gonna pee myself. Terrific episode thank you for doing these I enjoyed watching it with you.

I am so happy you decided to continue and share. Thank you

The episode about the german putting an ad to find someone to eat... is actually based on a real case in germany where a cannibal put an ad in the newspaper to have someone to eat... and someone was okay with it... I think it went to court but i dont know the decision... but if you agree that someone eats a part of your body, why not lol

The actress who plays Laura Knightly in, The Work Outing, episode is Lydia Fox, Richard Ayoade (Moss') wife. Also the bald gay guy with the 'tache' who flirts with Roy at the end of the same episode, is Ash Attalla, the series producer. Also, also, the mystic who Douglas buys the rohypnol from in the beginning of the last episode is Graham Linehan, who wrote this, Father Ted and Black Books.

I was there at Pinewood Studios for the shocking moment Denholm died! I cannot begin to tell you how nervous Matt Berry was on that night, fluffing lines etc but he turns into an incredible character going forward. The phone vibration scene was also something that had numerous takes as no one could keep a straight face!! 😂😂

Before the IT Crowd, Richard Ayoade and Matt Berry did Garth Marenghi's Darkplace. It's a brilliant take on low budget horror shows.

Season 2 of The IT Crowd is one of the funniest comedies I have ever watched in particular episode 1 is comedy genius. Jen's reaction to this series is up there with her best. Keep on laughing Jen 👍

IT Crowd, Beer, Baldur's Gate 3, Guitar - you're my kind of awesome! Fun reaction!

"Did someone else die?" Had me in stiches😂 The "Son" is Great in "Garth Mirengi's Dark Place". Speaking of original hiests Please check out the original "Italian Job"👍

I never knew where the guy jumping out window meme came from before I saw this.

Loving revisiting this. Yes, more British comedy please. Coupling is a must.

The German Cannibal episode was based on a real event where Armin Meiwes killed and ate Bernd-Jürgen Armando Brandes, who answered an online advertisement Meiwes posted stating that he was "looking for a well-built 18- to 25-year-old to be slaughtered and then consumed."

This group of kids is the era of my younger brother. I was busy in college and didn't really focus too much on the culture then; being not too much different than the 70s but I enjoy catching this series for the 1st time with you, seeing how you react to the culture, enjoying the music. I believe in interviews the showrunners, the Duffer Brothers, have said they wanted to bring the magic of that time back into people's minds and it was a hit for that as much as for the story line. I do enjoy how you and Ash love movies from that era too. He's a lucky man. Great reaction Hannah!

If you are enjoying this, you would love "Garth Marenghi's Dark Place." It stars Richard Ayoade (Moss) and Matt Berry (Doug Reynholm)

I loved your reaction to these, Jen, I've just rewatched them all again from the beginning as I missed the start. I hope that you react to more of it and do the other seasons.

Laura Nightly (actress) is actually married to Moss...aka Richard.

I love Richard Ayoade

Thanks for this one Jen, really made my day. Yes please to Series 3. It only gets better x

This episode made laugh so hard, one of the best ones If not The best 😂

I really love the IT crowd.. it sort of resonates with me.. I would have loved to be working in this kind of environment. The setup and jokes were just chef's kiss

You had beers, I had bourbon... a good time was had by all! I can't wait for your reaction to season 3!

The sorcerer in Men without Women is Graham Linehan the creator and writer of the show. That was his cameo for series 2. He makes one cameo per series.

"There's some-body-at-the-door" - yes, do it every time the doorbell rings...

Season 2 of this series was maybe the hardest I’ve ever laughed watching any series for the first time through

"GARTH MARENGHI'S DARK PLACE" has Moss and 2nd season Boss . Richmond actor is in THE MIGHTY BOOSH.

My friend is in a wheelchair and whenever he's on the disabled lift I cannot stop thinking about that episode.

"FATHER!!!!!" 😂😂😂😂😂

55:42 "Tramps" - US translation "hobos". Both rather antiquated words open to bending.

Along with IT Crowd, these are my favorite British comedies I would recommend: Father Ted (same creators as IT Crowd) Black Adder Red Dwarf

We need to get Matt Berry and Brian Blessed in a movie as soon as possible. There doesn't need to be much of plot, just them shouting at each other for 90 mins

Armin Meiwes (age 62) also known by the German public as „der Kannibale von Rotenburg“ [the Cannibal of Rotenburg], is a German former computer repair technician who received international attention for murdering and eating a voluntary victim in 2001, whom he had found via the Internet. In January 2004, Meiwes was convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to eight years and six months in prison. In a retrial in May 2006, he was convicted of murder and sentenced to „life imprisonment“ (a usual „life sentence“ in Germany is only between 15 to 20 years (in some extreme cases even (but extremely unlikely) up to 25 years, not any longer) except if the psychological analysis comes to the conclusion that the offender will be always a danger to society and is never able to be properly rehabilitated/resocialised, the judge can impose the „Life imprisonment“ sentence, which means that the convict even after passing the 25 years maximum punishment in Germany, will still remain in prison for the rest of his natural life, but with more privileges as a usual convict (like a larger single person cell/room, the possibility to redecorate the room with personalized furniture, not the standard dormitory style furniture of the usual cells and the privilege to buy/order certain electronic and „luxury“ items (like a bigger tv or videogame console) from his own money/savings, normal prisoners aren’t allowed to have) Which means Meiwes is still imprisoned fulfilling his regular 25 years sentence and will be never released except rolling out lying on a metal flatbed feet first.

My brother showed my Dad and I The Work Outing episode and the waterworks in my eyes didn’t stop during the second half! 🤣😂

Jem. I know you love your beers (you are such a beast for knocking back 3 brewers during your reaction. ------ BTW small pineapple chicks on Pizza is really great. The combo of sweet and salty rocks everytime.

Lmao Ep5 "Moz" on the news, makes me think of when richard was invited on "CH4 News"......"I have nothing to add, I have no idea why im here!"😂😂😂 Worth a watch 👍

The montage gag (59:10) with Douglas losing his hand was an homage to Roman Holiday (1953) with Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn. The crew reproduced a Roman sculpture called the Mouth of Truth. And the interaction between Moss and the trainwreck blonde (40:53) recalls Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966) with Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton playing a couple in a passionate feud. They were a real-life couple who married and divorced each other twice.

Yes! I've been looking forward to you reacting to season 2! 🙌

So far this is among one of my favorite reactions.!

Your laugh is awesome and contagious!!

This was an amazing reaction, love this season!

The work outing is comedy genius, it just keeps hitting you with the belly laughs but “A FIRE AT SEA WORLD??” I am Looking forward to that

I was almost to the end of Tolstoy's "Anna Karenina" and was talking to someone who told me the ending.

Fantastic! Was looking forward to season 2 with you Jen. Ok, finish work, get beers and watch IT Crowd with Jen. Cheers!

S2E1 of IT Crowd is imo the best episode of any comedy show ever. It's perfect!
