Richard Ayoade Faces Bullying At The Work Place
Know who else was brilliant on the IT Crowd? Noel Fielding!
I googled Noel Fielding because I recognize his face...but I still not from where.
Richard Ayocade (a name like that makes work hard to get)
was brilliant on the IT crowd.
I am hoping he can shine again.

Mighty Boosh - Crimpfest - All the Songs
Chapati, chapati, chapati basmati. Mighty indeed. I miss this show. Noel Fielding's Luxury Comedy has its moments, but I don't like it as much.
IT Crowd is Back! (British Talk Post)
Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)
Actually, my favourite character was Richmond the Goth - I thought Noel Fielding played this well. "The Dinner Party" episode was hilarious. "I only drink Absinthe".
Roy and Moss are characters I care about- but I agree that they could invest more in the actual character development- and story some story arc please! If Roy broke up with his GF in the first episode- why is it never mentioned again? I also agree that Katherine's character is a real weak link.

Hey, let's not be like that - I don't mind anyone getting a kick out of a sitcom and I'm not going to rant on them if they don't like say, Seinfeld. But let me get a little more specific as to why I feel the I.T Crowd hasn't really worked.
I agree those eps had their moments but you're probably looking at the very, very best bits there. The Outing relied on broad, farcical humour which you can't use to sustain a series and had nothing to do with the situation of the show (which is supposed to be where the humour comes from).
But mostly I don't see where the gags are most of the time. Having a bloke pretend like he's from The Matrix and not giving him any jokes means you're putting A LOT on the actor. And most of the time this show does not get the balance of jokes and performances right.
In The Final Countdown Roy doesn't want to be mistaken for a window cleaner by an aquaintance. But because the antagonist is so sketchily drawn along there isn't anything at stake nor is there a payoff. And like most of the principals the guy playing Roy doesn't have the comedic acting chops to pull this off. A similar situation in Seinfeld would have worked because Jason Alexander (this would be a George situation) can turn average material into gold. And I'm beginning to wonder what Katherine Parkinson is supposed to be doing - her character doesn't develop and her storylines are as flimsy as can be.
It's interesting that Linehan co-wrote Father Ted which was much better than the I.T Crowd and is solely responsible for this.
I'll say this again - the best thing about the show is Matt Berry. He's clearly having fun and has a character that could go places. The show should be about him or some similar nutcase and the guys in the basement should be peripheral characters. I'm glad that Noel Fielding and Chris Morris appear to be gone as they were bloody awful.

Haven't seen the new series, but there are a few episodes of the earlier series' that are as close to perfect comedy as it gets. The one where they go to see Gay - the Gay Musical is brilliant, and the one where the boss starts going out with the woman who used to be a man. And the one where the old boss dies and they have his funeral.
If you don't find it funny (in general), I honestly pity you.

Kasabian - Vlad the Impaler (2009) Rock!
Dunno if I'd consider that "Rock"...but it's a cool song!
Bonus for stabby Noel Fielding. Before I watched this I had the "Future Sailors" tune in my head, singing "Vlad The Impaler".

I'd vote for this again if I could.. I think my reaction was similar to Noel Fieldings'.
