"VICTORIA! But I thought you were DEAAaddd!" I might just talk like Douglas Reynholm for the rest of my life. He may be an awful person, but his voice alone is my spirit animal.
"GOD..daamn these electric sex-paants." In my opinion, the best delivered line in comedy history. Loved Matt ever since I first saw him in Darkplace. Bloody hell, just looked it up: Darkplace was 10 years ago. Saying that, I almost died when I realised Jurassic Park was 20 years ago (21 years now). I feel old.
@@BunniMonster I watched that new Jay and Silent Bob Reboot movie the other night. Now I officially feel old. Everyone looks so god damn old now. Even Matt Damon and Ben Affleck.
I just love how he says "caricatures". And that child like drawing never fails to make me laugh. You can definitely see the Father Ted DNA that Graham Lineham brings to this show.
@nickthelick Blame Linehan. It probably would've just got a standard "dated presentation" disclaimer thing at the start if he hadn't started a mental Crusade online and made it an issue. There's a LOT of worse representations that still get regular repeats with no issues at all, but Linehan has made the whole thing into nuclear waste that nobody wants to go anywhere near, and I don't blame them.
Im in Houston, Texas... I've been trying to put people on to this show... for yeeeeeeeaaaaaaars. When he came in on season 2... whew... a great shw got even better. Best ep is at the movie theatre
@@jeshkam yeah, South West, although MASSIVELY coincidentally, he was on the same train as me 2 days ago in Central London. That's so fuckin weird that you comment just after the second time I see him 5 months after I wrote the original comment 🤯🤯🤯
I didn’t think they’d ever be able to replace Denholm after he jumped out of the office window over irregularities with the pension fund. It’s pretty rare that a replacement matches up to the original, and when Douglas made his dramatic entrance at the funeral I thought “oh shit, they’re trying too hard.” But it turns out they knew exactly what they were doing, with this macho, self-centred, shallow, feckless, tyrannical, unstable, ignorant, loud mouthed, ultra-sexist, borderline insane character. Matt blends these qualities and portrays them to perfection, It works brilliantly.
Pure ridiculousness seems to be very difficult to pull off effectively without going too far. The best comedies, the ones I love and rewatch are those that crank the absurdity right up to the edge and balance there perfectly. IT crowd, Mr Bean, Monty Python, Zoolander, Southpark, Malcom in the Middle. Its great when you have a relatively mundane world or otherwise normal set of characters to truly contrast the mad ones against.
He knew he would do it himself and his option were window or gun. He wrote the note much earlier ad would have destroyed it if he used the gun. It's perfectly logical
"There's somebody at the door! There's somebody at the door! There's somebody at the door!" Has entered my daily vocabulary more than any other TV quote
Finchy gets a couple awkward laughs but for me he pales next to Brent. Brent is so pathetic that it’s easier to forgive him even if he is near irredeemable. They explore layers to his characters and yes he’s unlikeable but his intentions aren’t as painful to watch as Finchy.
I had never heard of Matt Berry until he was cast in the upcoming What We Do in the Shadows TV show. Watching this video makes me realize how much I have been missing out on.
Some credit must go to Graham Lineham, who also created Father Ted, another iconic sitcom. the IT Crowd was great anyway but lets be honest, it got better when Matt Berry joined, he absolutely nails it in every scene, and that voice, oh my that booming voice, love it, what a genius! *Now wait a minute sugar tits...*
Couldn't agree less - thought the first season was excellent and Chris Morris played one of the funniest characters ever so well. Renholm was a relatively funny character too but Matt Berry was Terrible most of the time - way over-acted each scene and personally think he took away from the show in the end. Just my opinion though!
I like how his suit makes his arm look like it's bending backwards when he points at the dead flies. Further proof he is in fact, an otherworldly being who knows what he's talking about.
"Japan have expressed concern"
"What, the whole country?"

He is awesome on What We Do in the Shadows too. Similar character, but a vampire.
Mind... The........................... Gap.
"As you know, in the end, I jumped out the window!" That shit got me!
Every scene with Matt in this show is actually The Best of Douglas Reynholm. What an amazing performance! And that voice!
Youve got spunk, and balls
Matt Berry turned The IT Crowd from a great show into a legendary show.
@8:33 I cannot describe how hard I pissed myself. Never has the line 'fuck off' been delivered so well.
The one in Total Recall is done well.
I was about to post about that very line. Such a fantastic delivery
watched that part so many times! and "It's not you it's me.... No actually it is you"
The Inbetweeners.
The best part..as we have all shouted it exactly the same way.
One of thebest characters in comedy history, played in genius strokes by Berry.
He's fantastic as Douglas Reynholm but there will NEVER be another Basil Fawlty... Right or wrong?
thanks
Damn that sorcerer! Twenty gold pieces and I'm wankered on rohipnol.
Possibly the most entertaining sentence ever uttered.
