There was a series of Car Insurance commercials in the 2000's in the UK, for Churchill Insurance. Their mascot was a bulldog that resembled Winston Churchill and he used to say "OHHH YES" in a deep voice. I think thats what Douglas is referring to :)
Voiced by the inimitable Bob Mortimer.
Correct my dude.
ruclips.net/video/N_eCLJglhy4/видео.htmlsi=Muvj4yM0lK5Fqeka
He was the UK equivalent of the Geico gecko.
@@PedroConejo1939Really, I never knew that!
The fight scene is absolutely epic. Love the way Douglas keeps jumping back up in his fighting stance like every bad guy in every Bruce Lee movie 😂😂😂
That was Graham Linehan wearing the glasses who stood up and shouted "WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!" in a panic after the internet was destroyed!
Ha ha ha.
He also did a cameo ... or two in Father Ted didnt he ... for eg ... he was one of the priests on the plane ... cant quite remember wat he said but ... hes a genius isnt he .
Yes and also his second cameo in the IT Crowd when he gives the love potion Douglas in the earlier episode.
I thought that was David Walliams
Alan offends the Irish. I'm Alan Partridge.
Came here to clear up the Churchill thing. I see it's already been comprehensively covered. (No pun intended).
No, puns are always intended, even when they're not.
I bow to you, o witty one.
The churchill comment is about Churchill Insurance company's adverts featuring a Bulldog which says "oh yes"
Voiced by the great Bob Mortimer
@@stevenprofittno way! Really? Well bugger me sideways, I never knew that 😂
@@thatsthat2612Yes, you would be surprised how many ads Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer have done over the years.
@@stevenprofitt il bet I would
I've read the comments and I still feel a self obsessed compulsion to repeat what has already been said about Churchill for some reason.
Oh yes
Go on then. We need to know what the Churchill thing was about.
That "fuckin idiot" in the background at 34:36 always kills me! 😂😂😂
Very much in the same vein as the Father Ted episode with the sheep, when someone says "Fuckin' 'Ell!", twice, in the background, also written by Graham Linehan.😅
@@johnboy2562And it's him saying that in both cases
Lol how come I've never noticed that. 😂
I never once noticed that and I've watched this so many times 😂
@@johnboy2562Yes, in the sheep episode! I laughed so hard when it was first screened I had a five-minute coughing fit afterwards. The fact he slipped it in twice so perfectly 😂
I think enough people have explained about Churchill now 😴 😂
Moss quickly answering Jen’s questions before she could finish was both funny and adorable 😆😆😆😆
As you may have gathered from the comments, there was an insurance ad lol
Really what did ir say.
@@paulmidsussex3409 Many comments about the Churchill insurance ads in the comments
@@paulmidsussex3409 I think it went "GO COMPAAARREE"
I don't know if it's been recommended to you yet or not, but for those who enjoyed the ridiculousness of the IT Crowd, I always also recommend Black Books. If you've seen any Simon Pegg/Nick Frost films, you'll probably recognize some familiar faces in the cast. It's a surreal bit of a nonsense I that I personally really enjoy and hope you do to if you decide to check it out after IT Crowd.
The Churchill reference is about a car insurance advertising campaign at the time for the Churchill insurance group. Their "mascot" was a nodding dog, called Churchill, who's catchphrase was "Oh yes".
HOW ON EARTH didnt you too laugh when they were fighting in the lab?? I was in absolute tears 😂😂😂😂
They were afraid of being called “transphobic” along with the rest of the western world. It’s a shame they use tyranny to intimidate people in fear of being cancelled or attacked by the left.
@@KlNGOFTHEPIRATES the "tolerant" left
My favorite quote from Winston Churchill is : Lady Nancy Astor: Winston, if you were my husband, I'd poison your tea.
Churchill: Nancy, if I were your husband, I'd drink it.
Disputed.
The guy who yells the line *”We’re all going to die”* when the internet gets destroyed is Graham Linehan, the show’s creator who also co-wrote Father Ted.
He also plays one of the 2 Irish men who go along to Ged Maxwell's house in S1E5 of I'm Alan Partridge. Along with Arthur Mathews, another fellow writer for Father Ted.
The infamous "Its over April", and the collision between those 2 story lines. Best episode evar!
What WERE they doing in that lab anyway? Lol.
he said to hull and back. can we give him his brit passport now?
"It's not you, it's me. No, it's not me, IT IS you!" XD!
The fight scene was hilarious. And Moss completely refusing to trust Roy.
I honestly wouldn't mind being April's boyfriend. Even if she was from Iran.
It's not you it's me, no actually it's not me it is you. Best line I've always quoted it since.
George Costanza from Seinfeld used that line too. Probably a bit of a meme at the time.
I like to break up with someone, just so I can use that line. Maybe that's why I'm now single.
This is by far my favourite episode. The Douglas storyline in this episode is amazing
Churchill is the name of a mascot for an insurance company (also called Churchill) he’s a British bulldog who says “oh yes, oh yes, oh yes”
I think he was originally a toy nodding dog (one of those car dashboard things that constantly nods its head), but later became an actual dog (or at least CGI)
He was talking about Churchill the dog from Churchill car insurance adverts. Not Churchill the prime minister. 😂
I love how Douglas pops back up with his hands limp haha
The Churchill reference was an insurance advertisement with a fake bulldog
"Fake" is a strange choice of word.
Nah it was a real dog
My favourite episode of the IT Crowd.
The A plot is good, Douglas’s not so much
Churchill the dog ads were original voiced by Vic Reeves alongside Bob Mortimer doing a voice over.
This episode had the Series 3 cameo of Graham Linehan who was the man who yelled "We're all going to die!". He appeared as a mariachi singer in Series 1 and the shaman who gave Douglas the "magic potion" in Series 2.
Lucy Montgomery is one of our best comedy actresses. Her Tom Cruise impersonation is very striking.
Best fight scene ever for sheer ridiculousness.
This was the start of Graham Linehan's fall from grace as the hottest comedy writer at the time. He was accused of being transphobic, partly because of the violence and that April was left unconscious on the floor at the end. Even though April was the one who threw the fist punch and went toe-to-toe against Douglas. Linehan did make his views known regarding trans people on social media, which annoyed some people.
At the end of the day it's a comedy show. The ridiculous, over the top, nature of the fight scene is completely what you expect from the pen of Linehan and the I.T crowd.
It would have been fairer if April ended up have a fight with Jen. They needed to adjust the script.
It's sad because April's character is written honestly and sympathetically, I'd bet that if the misogynist Douglas was left unconscious then no one would have batted an eye.
Nah, his rantings on twitter made it clear he is transphobic. It got to the point his wife left him because he is obsessed.
This has coloured peoples views of the episode.
@@jspettifer wtf are you on about. 99% of the world agrees with him. 1% want to mutiliate children and cant tell you what a woman is fuck those people.
@@paulmidsussex3409 so you want to see a man beat up a woman.....really
Did you see that hole in the wall? That was an accident! The stuntpeople got carried away. The director saw it, and loved it, and decided to keep it.
Really? I thought it might be a Terminator 2 reference.
lol, I've binge watched the entirety of this show many many times and this episode is BY FAR my favorite. The actress playing April (Lucy Montgomery) was AMAZING and "the internet" which by the way I know of several people that are dumb enough to believe lol, was just icing on the cake.
I've been waiting for this reaction for months!! Finally! "You bastard!!"
People can be convinced of some pretty ridiculous things...
In about 2005, I managed to convince a girl I know that the Queen had died and been replaced by a robot. I told her she'd been run over by a horse not long after Princess Diana died, and the authorities had thought the public wouldn't be able to handle such an extreme amount of grief all at once, and so they'd commissioned Jim Henson's Creature Workshop to build an animatronic replacement to be wheeled out at public appearances. True story, she genuinely believed me 😂
The works outing and the dinner party are peak IT crowd
Every time I finish watching the IT Crowd reactions here I'm always bummed out it's over.
Followed by "OMG the next episode is this one! Can't wait!"
Having just opened the video and started reading the comments…I imagine Churchill the dashboard bobble head bulldog is mentioned 😂
Does anyone else skip every time they pause? I like watching their actual reactions but they talk for sooooooo long. If we couldn’t skip I just wouldn’t watch them hahahah
There was a car insurance ad with one of those toy dogs with a bopping head and he'd say "ooo yes", the company was called Churchill.
If QB is enamoured by Moss now, she going to be head over heels after the Fredo episode. KB is probably going to have to take nerd lessons in order to stay in the race..
When you've finished the IT Crowd, you need to watch Garth Marenghi's Darkplace. Another Channel 4 show with Richard Ayoade and Matt Berry. And it's only 6 episodes, so you'd get through it quickly
I’m one of the few people you’ll meet who’ve written more books than I’ve read.
@@sammacdaibheid I’ll get a Wimpy
@@michaeljohn1978 I'll bring skipper, the eye child.
Toast of London. Mat Berry's finest work.
Churchill ( as referred to ) was a talking " nodding dog " car ornament in an insurance company advert . Just think , if you had a PO box now many boxes of internet you'd get after this . Always great to see you reacting together to these .
I was good friends with our I.T. guys...taught me a ton about computers...👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Lucy Montgomery (April) she's such a beautiful woman and funny too,
I loved her as the maid in 'Tittybangbang' - "Don't look at me I'm shy"
Watching this in hospital on a morphine drip, your both good people and mom and dad got me crying a bit now, most likely be laughing once I start watching ❤ the only fools and horses stuff on patron is getting me through too used to watch that with my grandad we'd both be laughing like children love and appreciation mate
Graham Linehan kicked himself and said later that Douglas should have said, "... You said you came from Oman." Instead of "Iran".
Probably not many Brits have even heard of Oman (in fact I just had to Google it myself), but otherwise I would agree the joke would have worked better.
I hadn’t seen this episode for a while and was misremembering that Douglas did actually think she’s said she was from Oman, so I was kinda surprised when he said Iran, ha. As for not many Brits having heard of Oman, that’s pretty harsh! I’m British and I have 🤷♀️
Even before this show, I had a major crush on Lucy Montgomery (who plays April). She's still beautiful
Me and my dad always laugh so hard when the April fight happens 😂
April kept his manly strength 🤣
I worked in IT from the mid 90's all the way to 2015, you would not believe how dumb some people were and are about technology.
The turning it off and on again, totally a thing, the is it plugged in, totally a thing. In 2008 you could convince plenty of people the internet was a tangible thing. (well actually plenty of staff referred to modems and routers as "the internet")
*Holding up AOL free trial disc*
"And the Internet is on this CD right?"
I even had someone not that long ago look at the system case for my home PC and say "That's a big hard drive". It took me back to the late 1980s when PCs first had a hard drive inside them (rather than the operating system being on a ROM chip and any data had to be loaded from a floppy disc into RAM, each time you started up the computer) and everyone usually referred to the whole system case as "the hard drive".
My best IT call was for a "monitor problem" ... when i got there it turned out they had opened a window and accidently knocked a CRT monitor out of it, which was dangling by the cable.
This is just one incredible episode. Completely amazing.
Richard Ayoade and Chris O'Dowd also worked together on an episode of Travel Man - such a classic episode!
You need to watch Operation Good Guys, was by far the funniest police comedy ever, the episode with cocaine at the Christmas pantomime is hilarious. I flew from Heathrow to Dubai and laughed most of the way with tears rolling down my face. Think it is now on Prime
I kept a rock in a shoebox once
my mistake, it was a pebble, I have an old polaroid of it somewhere
I went to school with a kid who if you were at traffic lights together and you pushed the button, he'd press it after you, every time. We eventually started pressing it again after him and he'd need to press it once more. After a few of these encounters there came a day where we got the final press before the lights changed and he yelled, stomped, cried and ran home. After that he didn't seem to care who pressed it. It was as though he finally had to accept that the world doesn't always need your input on everything and that doing nothing will lead to the exact result you want if the required action has already been taken by somebody before you.
He was about 7 or 8 at the time.
Now, let's read the 1000th explanation of the Churchill dog from people old enough to have nostalgia for The IT Crowd.
It's a good anecdote, although I don't think it applies in this situation.
It's impossible to King Boomer to read every comment on the channel, so you can never know if one comment will be read by them. In fact, it'll probably dissappear in the hundreds of other comments, unless there's a good bunch of people saying the same fact, what would make it have more chances to be read.
So, in this case, you have to press the button as many times as you can if you want to get the response you want.
And they even talk about that in this video: they wouldn't have watched The IT Crowd if there weren't a whole group of "people old enough with nostalgia" to insist on it. ;)
just sounds like an autistic child or one with minor ocd
@@sefirotsgame
Uh huh... It's the top rated comment.. and the 2nd.. and 3rd.. and 4th... and 5th...
Then we move into the "I see everyone has already told you about the dog. Well, I'll still post the same thing as them. It was a car insurance ad..." comments.
The button was pressed yesterday, everyone has crossed the road and gone home already while brainlets are standing there jabbing away at the button, staring down an empty street.
Like I say, he learned it at 7 or 8.
Fuckin hell mate, calm down
we really just gonna ignore the fact that ocd and autism exist, pretending like this was purely through stupidity(ie literally thinking the lights will not change unless he specifically presses them), and ignoring the very real possibility that this was just a compulsion he had from a condition that probably wouldn't even be named for the next couple of decades is pretty ignorant of u
One of my favourite episodes! The way it all comes together at the end is sheer genius! 😀
best fist fight ever.
nb: re the April aspect of this show. No one has ever, themselves, been offended except on behalf of other imagined people.
Could I really save £120 on my car insurance??
OHHHHHHH YESSSSSS
The panicked man yelling 'WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!' at the shareholder meeting, is the writer of the series Graham Linehan. He has a cameo in each season. Legend. 😃
being trans, since I first watched this one I actually always thought this episode was pretty progressive, for the time, and especially before graham started his current activism, and was quite surprised really when he started making the noise he does now, I mean the ending is a little mean but she is a bit character in a comedy, most of the other guest stars have turned out mean or weird for the joke, and I really didn't mind it, and the end when douglas misses her is hilarious, and that he didn't realize anything until she told him is very uncommon in a comedy, even though that was part of the joke, but I don't even believe at the time graham meant any of it to be mean really, and it is the one episode where he cameos?? in a fake moustache like douglas drew on april???, so irrespective of what he has done since I appreciate the inclusion I suppose 🤣 I know you were a bit quieter and didn't really let yourselves enjoy this one as much, hope it wasn't too uncomfortable, Love these reactions, IT crowd is one of my favorites, you guys are awesome, keep at it!
Comedy has always been a good way to raise awkward subjects and have people question their values. It's sad so many people felt the need to complain about this one, but I suspect most of them didn't actually watch it, and were just doing what they thought was right on behalf of others...the last scene with Douglas in bed very much changes the tone of it in my opinion, without that it would just be callous and I could understand the complaints :)
WHEN ACTORS TURN TO THE CAMERA AND SPEAK, IT'S LIKE IN SOAP OPERAS OR MELODRAMAS!!!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😆😅😂😆😅😂 HILARIOUS!!!😆😅😂
"Miranda" is a great comedy series, and Miranda Hart breaks the fourth wall!!! And its crazy funny!!!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😆😅😂
You two are so adorable 🙏😂🙏
First 2mins was a wholesome overload
Brilliant. The Transsexual Punch-Up Episode. One of the funniest comedy situations ever!!
Hooking up! Most American assumption ever! LOL
THANK YOU for being brave enough to react to the entire episode (I never doubted you for a second! lol) Great reaction as usual!
There are some woke you tubers that have reacted to it by sitting stoney-faced all the way through then being outraged at how
shockingly transphobic it was! Keep up the good work, and please check out Matt Berry in "Toast of London" soon? :)
At Last,another one of my IT Crowd Favs
Matt Berry is even better in Toast of London.
He is also really good in year of the rabbit !
I like him most in what we do in the shadows!
@@watsername Oh i've not seen that ! i will look into it 😊
Can you hear me Clem Fandago?
and if you watch toast of london, you will never look at aunty Val in the same way again
Douglas turning the restaurant scene into a shakespeare 😂 I just love him
I'm sure the Queen would also love Richard Ayoade (Moss) even when he's not in character. Such a great guy
I think the King and Queen Boomer would enjoy the "Coupling" Series. There is some unusual comedy invention in the plots in some of the later episodes of Coupling.
Guy yells WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!! IS CREATER WRITER OF SHOW!
I don’t understand the Churchill thing. Can someone explain please?
I think she initially thought he was talking about the wartime Prime Minister.
Search "Churchill Insurance" adverts and you will see
Young parenthood is tough. Keep at it and also make time to prioritise each other
Churchill is a Dog in an advert for Churchill insurance who says "oooh yes"
i have that box at home next to my router lol. good conversation piece 😂😂
also got the mugcwith moss on the bottom, i use it too without saying, just so funny
Loved this episode... If you're going to be looking for another brit comedy show, PLEASE do try Coupling. 😂
When youve finished the I.T crowd the next stage is " black books" same writers and brilliant 😁
Seconded.
You should watch derry girls, the most funny show ive ever seen
Churchill was a hill with a church on it
Point 1. It’s ok to cry! It’s ok to bicker.
Point 2. Can I please request… just try it … a BLUEY reaction with Queen Boomer!!!
“I’ve slipped on my beans” 😂
We watch Bluey every day with Princess Boomer lol.
@@KingBoomer so do I… but nobody is doing bluey reactions. Lots of very good episodes to discuss. My daughters first words were “Mom! - Dad! - Bingogoogo - buwwwwey!”
The grannies are my favourite though. I mean my daughter’s favourite. I’m a grown man who doesn’t cry watching children’s cartoons. (Sometimes)
Am I the only one who knows that a "bluey" is a xxx movie, or have I completely missed the joke?
@lifesbutastumble it's a cartoon about a dog it's also in blue, so that dogs can watch it too.
@@j9lornaDidn't know that. We used to always call xxx movies "blueys" as in "blue movie", which is what I thought KB was referring to when he said it to QB
I feel within Douglas mind Joey´s HOW YOU DOIN´? in Friends is the American answer to Churchill´s OHH YESS. ^^
I've been waiting for you to do this one! I thought maybe they'd scrubbed it off "the internet".
Groucho Marx used to be great at breaking the 4th wall
the churchill joke you wont get if youre not from uk, we had a car insurance company called churchill with a bulldog cartoon that said "oh yes" as a catchphrase, its not an uncommon joke here in uk back in the day to intentionally mix up the two for the banter
puppet, the dog, not you. Or maybe it was a cartoon of a puppet.
The IT Crowd: "The Speech"
Fawlty Towers: "The Germans"
Seinfeld: "Master of Your Domain"
... 3 most epic sitcom eps o.a.t.
Such a great episode! Love watching your reactions to the series.
Churchill was a dog from an ad on English TV lol
Churchill is an insurance company here and we used to have a talking CGI dog that would say "Ohhhh yes" lol.
I've been watching your reactions all this time just waiting for this episode. I'm so glad you liked it.
I think the joke of the fight-scene is that she still has her man-strength so when they get in their lovers quarrel they're beating the shit out of each other?
This is the Churchill thing: ruclips.net/video/N_eCLJglhy4/видео.html
Yeah that’s where it’s a bit distasteful and the bonding montage where April enjoys stereotypically masculine things , I will give credit for the ending scene with Douglas though
I love after the lady asks if its heavy you can just hear Graham Linehan in the background call her "fucking idiot"... comedy genius.
I’ve been waiting for you guys to react to this episode 😂 one of my favourites 👊
Sleep regressions are the worst, I feel your pain 🤦♂️😂
I think the first actor to break the fourth wall was the brilliant Groucho Marx.
This episode and the work outing episode.
Work outing and Countdown :)
Not Winston, Churchill the cartoon dog insurance add,he says ho yes!
Cameo role from the writer Graham Lineham in this episode.
He was the ‘shareholder’ in the glasses that shouted “we’re all going to die!”
I worked on a university...and if you used a program, you had to go to training... I began using computers in 1988, on campus...then learned all I know from using & trainings, and learned from our I.T. GUYS👍🏼
I feel we haven't mentioned the Churchill insurance advert enough. We might need a few more.
Denholm is in the new Comedy drama "What we do in the shadows" about Vampires, well for a few years now..
Playing a character who's sex-mad ... a real departure for him 🙂
