Ayoade's best work is 'Garth Marenghi's Darkplace', 'Travel Man'*, 'Man to Man with Dean Learner', and 'Nathan Barley'. *Travel Man is Richard's travelog where he takes famous friends for a weekend away somewhere fun. 'The Greg Davies to Moscow' and 'Paul rudd to Iceland ' episodes are genius.
@@ym10up He doesn't enjoy travelling at all, which is why he quit. I thought he was pretending to be unimpressed, bored etc. when going to various locations as part of his form of humour, but he was being genuine.
@@andrewjones575 yeah, I was hoping that he was exaggerating as well because I really enjoy him hosting that show but deep down I know this type of fast paced traveling with a crew and a guest is probably not the best fit for his personality. I haven't watched the new version since Joe took over. I like Joe but I don't want the show to change. It's weirdly like Doctor Who actually...
Apart from the shit tailoring and the pink button. (The blazers in The Prisoner are based on public school uniforms... which fits the restrictive, infantilising and conforming nature of The Village...)
Richard Ayoade, that guy... It seems like Moss is an extension of him as an actual person, aspects of himself... I know all actors pull on their own experience and their work is pieces of themselves, but Richard is one of those guys who when you see him in real life it just makes you happy Moss is real lol.
Have you seen 'Calvary'? Chris O'Dowd is amazing in it. Be warned: it's not a comedy and it's heart-rending but it shows you how good an actor he is. Brendan Gleeson is also amazing.
Chris O'Dowd was excellent as a guest star (opposite Katherine Parkinson) on DOC MARTIN. It was the season finale of the second season (I think) that was on around the same time as THE IT CROWD. Also: Don't forget the three season of the show MOONE BOY. O'Dowd was the creator, writer and star. It's kind of a "Derry Girls" show before Derry Girls.
I think the fire was caused by someone who was lied to with that same story, “Parents died in a fire at Sea Parks.” And the person was so obsessed wether the scenario was even possible, they went to a Sea Parks to test it and made it happen for real, hence Roy’s girlfriend being orphaned
Why was there a gap of nearly 20 years between the last episode of friends and the reunion? There was a lot of fan upset about it ending and they didn't shut up about it untll that extra episode finished, which ended up being nothing more than a montage of previous episodes put into one
@@andrewjones575 Yeah it wasn't but the two are similar in that they came out in similar circumstances, and nobody would call for anything else after because the fans got the closure that they needed
@@GHar94 We don't know why she chose to mention her parents at all, but the most likely reason for the lie is that she doesn't want to talk about them. She may find the truth of their deaths too upsetting to talk about. Another possibility is that they haven't died but she pretends they have in order to avoid introducing them to Roy or to avoid saying why she's estranged from them.
@@GHar94 I've not seen or heard anyone else make the same assumption as you & the chance of her having killed them is minuscule. Several young adults have told me that their parents are dead & I've never suspected any of them of killing them.
But it might be a layered joke, Jen lied that she could speak italian, and the actor lied that he could speak Italian, and it's on purpose. But as you said, it would be for a very niche crowd.
The Sea Parks fire story is ridiculous & we don't find out the truth about her parents. Why does it matter to Roy? I had a fling with a girl who once briefly said that her parents were dead, but I didn't ask her about their deaths, nor wonder about it. It was irrelevant to me.
@@nickparton5663 Yes, and this doesn't work well. Wasting time & energy obsessing about something that's irrelevant to him when he could be getting action with her instead.
@@Mintteacup_ He knows she's likely to be out of his life within days or weeks, yet he wastes much of his limited time with her obsessing about something irrelevant.
For some great Ayoade action, check out his shows 'Gadget Man' where he basically reviews new techy things in a very Ayoade way, with guest stars, and 'Travel Man' where goes off to all kinds of places in Europe (mostly) for weekend getaways on a budget, with guest stars. Interesting and hilarious. Also, could you squeeze in the 'Out takes' video for IT Crowd as a final episode, it's long enough and soooo funny. ❤

This is a fantastic episode. Every time I am in a zoo/ aquarium or drive by one I always have to say "A Fire? at a SeaParks!?"
Roys answer to "what are you doing?" is still hillarious to this day
pure comedy gold in a one word answer
This episode was easily my favourite for season 4. It was good to see how in sync you wee with the seaparks joke.
This is another strong contender for best IT Crowd episode.
Nothing beats the "The Work Outing".
@@scipioafricanus5871 legs disabled
This is one of those classic episodes, possibly my favourite
I think Travel man would be something you'd like :)
Good morning, that's a nice tnettenba 🤣
Yeah it says "Ontario Mega Finance Group" and "You won't believe it, eh!" undearneath.
When you are finished the series you HAVE to check out the bloopers this show has some of the best I've seen.
I think you'd like Travel Man.
Ayoade's best work is 'Garth Marenghi's Darkplace', 'Travel Man'*, 'Man to Man with Dean Learner', and 'Nathan Barley'.
*Travel Man is Richard's travelog where he takes famous friends for a weekend away somewhere fun. 'The Greg Davies to Moscow' and 'Paul rudd to Iceland ' episodes are genius.
the iceland episode is ruddy mysterious
I wish he could continue to host Travel Man but apparently he didn't enjoy traveling all that much
@@ym10up He doesn't enjoy travelling at all, which is why he quit. I thought he was pretending to be unimpressed, bored etc. when going to various locations as part of his form of humour, but he was being genuine.
I loved the bob mortimer and greg davies episodes

Thank god it ticked all the boxes!! 😅Phew ! Good vid, good reaction, good stuff!!
Not sure about a sea park, but I once had a shower catch light
Neil, your own office is their office. Bring, on the episode with Roy, Moss, Jen and Neil.
The jacket looked like it came straight out of the Patrick McGoohan Prisoner series.

I LOVE this episode. Another one of my favorites. I love Jen lol
Roy's shirt says OMFG. Oh My Fucking God!
O.M.F.G is the acronym
Roy has BEST T-SHIRTS!!!!
Do they have fire extinguishers at real sea parks?
LOVE MOSS!!!😁 I was hoping you'd watch "BLACK BOOKS" for more crazy British comedy🤓
..... burn it.
LOL
When you run out of IT episodes I recommend year of the rabbit. Berry gets to shine
If you want tosee a classic Richaed Ayeody on Big Fat Quiz try BFQ of Everything 2016.
It his sweet Irish charm.
0:16 They're usually referred to as Christmas specials.
Except that it first aired in September of 2013
The last ep has no connection to Christmas.
@@andrewjones575 Jeez, I didn't think my use of the word "usually" (meaning, "not always") would cause such confusion. 🙄
@@darkglasses87 In which case, the generic term _special_ will suffice.
Watching your reactions to this show is definitely a marmite affair..
Luckily Im on the loving marmite team

Why was there a gap of over 3 years between the last ep of s4 & the final ep?
the final episode was a one-off special, an idea that they came up with after the series had already finished
Why was there a gap of nearly 20 years between the last episode of friends and the reunion? There was a lot of fan upset about it ending and they didn't shut up about it untll that extra episode finished, which ended up being nothing more than a montage of previous episodes put into one
@@dylansharkey6040 That reunion isn't a proper ep. It's worsened by James Corden being its host.
@@andrewjones575 Yeah it wasn't but the two are similar in that they came out in similar circumstances, and nobody would call for anything else after because the fans got the closure that they needed
T-shirt seems to be available on teepublic.. just sayin
The best episode, bar none.
Honestly it is the dream... Getting an iphone without giving any money to Apple
I don't blame Roy for losing his mind.
I do - if I were in his position I'd be focused on her, not her parents.
@@andrewjones575 yes but what if she actually killed them but told him that
@@frozengamer3030 That's highly unlikely & there's no indication of that being the case.
@@andrewjones575 Roy is a nerd who works in IT. His brain can't help but focus on things that aren't logical.
@@ym10up If he weren't logical, he couldn't do his job.
Aaah. Misap.. Damn it. I've forgotten again. Aaahn. Missapportion of blame [?].! Hmmm. Something-Apportioning of blame
A fire... at a sea parks. This ep is great. Shame he gets "offended" by everything cos he doesn't want to upset fake ppl on Twitter
It’s a popular assumption Julia killed her parents.
There's no indication of that. All we know is that her claim is obviously untrue.
@@andrewjones575 why would she have reason to make a rediculous lie if she wasn't somehow involved?
@@GHar94 We don't know why she chose to mention her parents at all, but the most likely reason for the lie is that she doesn't want to talk about them. She may find the truth of their deaths too upsetting to talk about. Another possibility is that they haven't died but she pretends they have in order to avoid introducing them to Roy or to avoid saying why she's estranged from them.
@@andrewjones575 fair enough. Although who knows what the thoughts and intentions really are of a fictional woman in a I.T based sitcom.
@@GHar94 I've not seen or heard anyone else make the same assumption as you & the chance of her having killed them is minuscule. Several young adults have told me that their parents are dead & I've never suspected any of them of killing them.
Roy isn't successful - he only has a few flings.
Why was an actor who can't speak Italian properly hired to play the Italian businessman?
comedy
@@carnifaxx The vast majority of viewers can't understand Italian, so they don't realise he's not speaking Italian properly.
I'm guessing because a lot of people (including actors) have a tendency to exaggerate their skills in their resumes.
But it might be a layered joke, Jen lied that she could speak italian, and the actor lied that he could speak Italian, and it's on purpose. But as you said, it would be for a very niche crowd.
Italian is fifth more common foreign language taught on UK universities, maybe there is an audience who appreciates the joke? :D
The Sea Parks fire story is ridiculous & we don't find out the truth about her parents. Why does it matter to Roy? I had a fling with a girl who once briefly said that her parents were dead, but I didn't ask her about their deaths, nor wonder about it. It was irrelevant to me.
That’s the whole point of the episode though, it’s completely ridiculous!
Some people are curious 🤷♂️🤷♀️🤷
