The British version of telling people the conversation is over is to slap your thighs and say "Right!" in a bright, decisive tone. This is universal and there is no way to resist it. If someone "Right!"s you, your legs automatically carry you away.
@zaftra
Absolutely bang on 😂
The slap is not only an announcement of departure, it's also to check you haven't left anything behind. As a man, I constantly leave things everywhere 🤣
Must be a regional thing, I've only observed that a couple of times my entire life. From what I've seen it's more commonly "anyway I'm gonna get going" with no slapping of any body part and 15 minutes later they're still talking.
I thought that was...
Let's do the job
Let's get going
Etc
Enough jibba jabba time to ...
I love how oblivious you two are to the Simply Red and Mick Hucknall jokes at the start 😂
Simply Red never made it big anywhere but the UK and I doubt anyone under 30 in the UK would even know them.
@@Lones555 They were pretty popular in Europe and Aus/NZ
Isn't this the plot of Wuthering Heights?
So much goes over there heads. Mostly because they are feigning interest.
@@davidharvey4433 Grifting yanks, been that way since the Mayflower
That last shot is a nod to Invasion of the Body Snatchers :)
Also Bill Crouse is Adam Buxton, he's got a great podcast and makes fun appearances on shows like Cats Does Countdown.
Adam was in a show called Bug I think, was really good
@@simonslaughter6098 Yeah, I'm not a Brit, so I'm not sure if that ever was a tv show or only online? But his youtube comments bit was from that right?
Yeah lets not forget The Adam & Joe show, so good
@@jamesfield1674 Yeah, Adam & Joe was like proto youtube.
Joe Cornish, the brains of the outfit.
Jen’s terrifying cries of “Let me in!” at the window on a stormy night is clearly a reference to Wuthering Heights😂
"NOOO! YOU'RE NEVER COMING IN!!!" XD!
Queen Boomer has it pronounced correctly. Denholm Reynholm (Den'um Ren'um)
Yeah, good phonetic example. In the UK this is how we would pronounce it.
Cant understand why he doesn't just copy the way the characters pronounce it...
Yeah, but at the end of that convo, they both said it the wrong way round again. Watch it at 24:40
Jen having awful dates is a running joke.
they seem to miss a few jokes.
Wait till they get to the magician episode
@@4Kandlez wonder if KB will recognise the actor who plays the magician
The final scene with Judy pointing and screaming is a homage to the ending of The Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)
The song at the end is sung by Neil Hannon, the singer of Divine Comedy, who composed and sang all the music for Father Ted. "My lovely Horse"
Adam Buxton who played Bill is a bit of a ledge- the Adam & Joe show was brilliant and he appears in two excellent movies you should react to- Hot Fuzz and Son of Rambow, you’d both love them! As for the IT Crowd, it’s consistently wonderful, love to you all x
Also has the best podcast out there!
@@Lones555 Love Adam's podcast. 😊
If you like Chris Morris as Reynolm, then check out his spoof news show The Day Today, and Brass Eye. Both were way ahead of their time and so extreme that it got him banned from the Channel that produced it. He then went on to make the surreal Blue Jam - all brilliant.
Chris Morris plays Denholm and he is a comedy legend here in the UK. He was responsible for so much brilliant yet surreal satire through the 90s and early 2000s. Not shy of controversy - people cry about 'cancel culture' in comedy today (and it is a thing) but Chris Morris was taken to court by a member of the actual Government over a joke back in 2001/2! Whilst I would personally recommend all of his TV and Radio stuff I would highly recommend you check out a less well known TV show called "Nathan Barley". It's quite wacky but that's the joke as it is mocking a social group who, at the time, were 'hipsters' ... but when/if you watch it keep telling ourself that it was written back in 2005! Chris Morris isn't actually in it, he wrote it with Charlie Brooker (the guy who writes Black Mirror) and I think he directs but it is utter genius and seems more relevant today, 20 years later, than it was back in 2005. All that being said, his earlier TV stuff like "The Day Today" (a news show parody) and "Brasseye" (an investigative documentary parody) may be more your sort of thing (he stars in both). Not sure how easy it will be for you to find them but Nathan Barley episodes I think are on YT
They should totally watch Brasseye next
@@McPhailin I totally agree that Nathan Barley, The Day Today and Brass Eye... maybe even Jam. But I don't know if they will translate well. The Day Today is an easy to get one. But Brass Eye I don't know if you may be need to understand British journalism and middle England attitudes. Like Peadogeddon is a genius piece of art it transcends TV but if you go in not understanding the time and attitudes of the media and the scaremongering that was going on. You will perhaps just think it's in bad taste and makes no sense. In fact it makes "Nonce Sense" 😜😜
There was also Blue Jam
ruclips.net/video/dfcqSXKS-ic/видео.html
I would also add a request for a film review of Four Lions. Great film directed by Chris Morris
Brooker is a genius and has been for a long while. His screenwipe series was so good.
The final scene is from "Wuthering Heights". Dead Kathy wants Heathcliffe to let her in. It is what inspired Kate Bush to write her haunting pop hit "Wuthering Heights", in the late 70s.This episode was hilarious .
Highly underrated episode IMO. I love it. Merry Christmas to all three of you.
You might recognise Jens date as the journalist from the Hot Fuzz movie (the steeple ended up where his head should be)
Omg yesss 😃 I was wondering why he looked familiar!!😅
Moss & Richmond on a quiz show, hilarious! - ruclips.net/video/BI4KHCqNszM/видео.html
"Half-Life greatest game ever made"
You earned brownie points there.
You pronounce his surname 'Renn-um' effectively. And yeah he's a great character. You should check out Garth Marenghi's Dark Place at some point Richard Ayoade (Moss) is in that too.
Darkplace and Toast of London, so good
26:00 - That chair swiveled _perfectly_!! 🤣
This episode genuinely had some of the best setup I've ever seen squeezed into a single episode
In the UK, when people want to leave, they slap their legs and say 'well' universally understood.
Someone stole your comment 😂
The most British Americans on youtube😂..love you guys.
Developing an addiction to tea makes you an honorary Brit beyond all doubt.
The guy who played Jen’s date is an awesome comic called Adam Buxton, he also played the reporter in Hot Fuzz.
If you haven't seen them yet, the shows Black books, and red dwarf, might be your cup of tea.
You're going to love Douglas Reynholm who is Denholms son, in the later episodes. Hilarious I tell you.
This vid had only been up for 9 minutes ; The IT Crowd thing had not even started and I'd already hit 'Like'.... Because I knew it was going to be good 😊
I love how loving they are with each other
Mick Hucknell, lead singer of Simply Red.
Simply READY! ❤
Looked like Keith Lemon to me 😂
The sound of Queen Boomer laughing really cheers me up. ❤😂
I look forward to your IT Crowd reactions!
My uni friend is friends with the woman who plays the hairy faced lady.
Just an FYI, the very end with Judy is a reference to the film Invasion of the Body Snatchers, the 1978 remake version.
Yes, Donald Sutherland!
@@stuartmcivor2276RIP Donald, the legend 😢
The best character of this show is still to come.
Love your reactions, if you get the chance check out I'm Alan Partridge, The League of Gentleman, Phoenix Nights, Red Dwarf, Black Books. Many more older ones too.
I suspect they’d already been for drinks before they went to dinner
Everybody mentions the nod to Body Snatchers. Nobody mentions the nod to Wuthering Heights 🙁
Are you surprised by that?
If you love it so far you’re in for a treat. We haven’t even got to the classic episodes yet and Matt berry!
You know I’ve seen them all before but blimey im so glad to see them again!! I forgot just how funny they were!!!!
I remember Half Life being the first game I played where an enemy had intelligence. The enemy soldiers trying to sneak round behind me freaked me out! 😂 Half Life 2 was a masterpiece.
Another vote to check out Garth Marenghi's Dark Place, Maurice Moss (Richard Ayoade) is it along with Matt Berry who you will come across later in IT Crowd
He was only Renholm Denholm at school when they called out the register.
It crowd is a pinnacle of socially awkward nerd comedy. It’s done so well and tastefully. I always comeback to that series just to see how many random props are lying around in the background, and their T-shirts and posters are so cool in a nerdy way
Love the way you started running away before you finished your joke! - Been there!
Love the two of you doing these videos together
Great watching these together with you guys 😊
If you are going to ask anyone to lie randomly on your behalf the very , very last one would be Mos .
35:20 - Wuthering heights, Cathy at the window, brilliant 😂
i love the lesson on "I want to go!" etiquette.
ps: if IT Crowd was a Video Game, Denholm Reynholm would definitely be the Final Boss.
In England, the dismissive line when trying to curtail a conversation is, "well, I must let you get on then!".
Ironically, in the IT Crowd, he isn't the final boss
Ive been looking forward to watching you two react to this episode. So funny
The ending is from invasion of the body snatchers
The "A/C room"? My friends, Richmond is in the *server room* 😅
10:57 your turning British lol
Very nice pronunciation of Mick Hucknell by Katherine Parkinson there.
Mick Huckanell
The ending with Judy pointing at Roy and making that unearthly noise is a nod to the Invasion of the Body Snatchers.. the 1978 version.
I've been reading writer Graham Linehan biography Tough Crowd. He said that Chris Morris wasn't his first choice as Denham mainly because Graham thought the show was beneath him. . He wanted Matt Berry from the start but Chris kindly took the role as a favour to Graham, just to get series 1 started on time. Matt of course comes on board in series 2. But I won't spoil it too much..
I mean you could've just waited for when he appears to drop this knowledge lol but thanks anyway 😂
Too late, jackwagon. But I don’t want to be rude too much. But I don’t want to be sarcastic too much.
That's quite a revelation! Chris Morris absolutely nailed the role. If he'd been in it longer, I don't think I would given the honours to Matt Berry. Graham wrote for them both perfectly IMO.
@@travelbugse2829 I was surprised myself. Chris was excellent but I can see Grahams point. Chris was known for savage intelligent satire and not surreal comedy. Matt wasn't available for the deadline start so a slight rewrites was needed.
The L is silent although it affects the pronunciation, basically Ren-ham Den-ham, closest for USA-ians would be Ren-um Den-um.
I wait all week for these! Amazing show. You guys are wonderful as well.
Merry Christmas from Sweden 🤗🎄
Found your channel recently, love everything about your content - look forward to every upload ❤
Now we've entered IT Crowd proper. 👍.
The end was an Invasion Of The Body Snatchers reference
Great seeing these again. I'm looking forward to the arrival of Douglas as it'll make names easier to remember.
Moss is so much funnier than Sheldon.
What I say if I want to get away is "well, I mustn't detain you any longer". 😂
That final scene is a reference to Invasion of the Bodysnatchers!
You peeps are the best, have a fantastic Christmas x
"Just simply push that crate into the designated area Mr Gordon Foreman"
I'm so glad there's some HL & Gordon Freeman love here, I did not expect it here 😄
Great review guys love this episode. Oh and here in the U.K. we pronounce it Denham Renham but spelt Denholm Renholm.
This is probably my favourite episode and the react was so good!!!
Been waiting for this!
When you’ve finished watching the episodes, you should watch the outtakes / bloopers
The wife and I love to watch your reactions to the things we take for granted here. There was a US attempt to remake the IT Crowd, it didn't get past the Pilot (like the attempt at Red Dwarf). Anyway Merry Christmas to you all from the pair of us in Derbyshire! (Reynholm is pronounced "Ren-Hom")
The worse attempt a a remake has to be Only fools and horses, set in Florida so bad I am not even sure if it aired but there are clips on RUclips.
@@chipsthedog1Think they did also attempt a US version of Fawlty Towers, which, as you can probably guess, was a total disaster…and didn’t last very long…
@@chipsthedog1 Clearly you've not seen the pilot for the US Inbetweeners...
@@krashd That was terrible too, crazy how you can mess up such a good show
Great episode and a great reaction.
For the next episode make sure you watch the after-credit scene, I guarantee you will love it!
there is a american version of it crowd with moss in the series , the problem with it was it was the exact replica of the british version and never really took off.
New Jingle: Have you tried turning it off & on again? The IT Crowd with Roy, Moss & Jen! 🎵
- Where are we taking this foreman guy?
- Outside for questioning.
The actress playing Judy is a well known and quite beloved actress from Eastenders. She was on it for a long time and is a very recognisable person in the UK
For the actor who plays Denholm the boss, that is Chris Morris, who is a total comedy genius!!!
You definitely need to react to his news TV satire “The Day Today” and “Brass Eye”…
He’s also written and directed some brilliant satirical films like “Four Lions”…
The best starting point to react to is “How not to be a journalist” from “The Day Today”
Thank you king boomer for all the entertainment this year. Queen boomer you look amazing so soon after giving birth merry Christmas to you and yours in the holiday season
Loving your videos as always guys 🎉 really great choices on the shows you watch too. Would love to see you both watch more Alan partridge
In Scotland someone who drinks lots of tea is called a tea Jenny
That Nokia Ringtone! Wait till you discover another Channel 4 comedy classic:
*Trigger Happy TV* 😂😂😂
The ¨she´s dead¨misshap premise is just as funny, though executed differently, in another British sitcom called Coupling.
Can't wait to see your reaction to season two episode one, probably my favourite episode ever.
🤣 glad you guys watched this show its the best. the polls never lie! lol
Don't lick the outlets in the UK. 230 volts!
13:40 you just say, "well, it's the little one's bed time, so... gotta wrap this up".
13:30 trust me, they need much more attention, help and supervision as they get older 😂😂😂 i wish mines were babys again. It was so easy in hindsight haha.
Have you two watched The Mighty Boosh ? Noel Fielding made his name on that .
Yes... made his name at being totally unfunny. He's so great at comedy, he's a regular on a baking show.
It's Denholm Reynholm, pronounced as Den-um Ren-um
Inspired!
Love your video reactions to our British comedy, sadly we don't have any quality shows now :( however, there are a few I think you would enjoy as you like Father Ted, The IT Crowd and Inbetweeners. Some you should check out are 'I'm Alan Partridge' (By the same writers of The IT Crowd and Father TED) 'The Mighty Boosh' & 'Bottom' these 3 are some of the best and would love to watch your reaction to them, also 'Garth Meringues Dark Place' is another one that not many people know of as wasn't well known but has some of the actors from the IT Crowd in it :)
Graham didn't write I'm Alan Partridge, he only appeared in an episode.
You guys should really watch more of these as soon as possible. There are (I think) 24 episodes and a movie.. and every time I rewatch it, I think "Oh yeah, this is my favorite episode! I forgot about this one haha." then the next one.. "Oh shit no, THIS one is my favorite episode!" Perhaps this is my own bias/greed because there are 3 episodes in particular I want you to see, but they are a year away at this rate haha.
My favourite episode is when Moss goes on Countdown 😂
So here's the challenge you have to use one of the excuses/lies used by Moss by the end of the week. I would join in but my father just killed somebody.
Whats weird to me, is you can HEAR them pronouncing the bosses name over and over, but instead of copying the sounds you insist on reading it how it looks phonetically. Sounds like Denim.
I can't wait to see the reaction to what happens in this
Pronounced: Denum Renum
They only pronounce it in the show every episode…
We are one step closer to the best one, Season 2 Episode 1
The work outing is gonna kill you if this is how you react to this episode!.... can't wait 😊
Hahahaha here goes the floating head.
one of my fav Episodes of the IT Crowd
One of my Fave Episodes from the IT Crowd. 😂👏🏼
I love the Invasion of the Body Snatchers 'scream' reference at the end.
My 2nd favourite episode after the theatre one. Underrated episode definitely!
Brain, did you ever have a meze when you were in Greece? Tapas is the Spanish equivalent.
There is one with a certain German dinner host which might top this one.
Leg Disabled
Oh yes, the theater episode made me laugh so hard it hurt
@@hod2 He was fine.
