The IT Crowd

Anyone watched this yet? It's actually pretty funny.

Nice smattering of EFF, Fair Use Has a Posse, and other nerd stickers.

Thats awesome. I particularly enjoy when they laugh at "half-cocked". From experience alot of the IT crowd is still immature enough to laugh when the word "cock" is used(myself included). Heck, my Defcon group saw Firewall last night and were cracking up when a woman said to Harrison Ford, "But wasn't it Harry who introduced you to Cox?".

I loved the bit on telling the boss that he had voice recognition on his computer "hello computer"

I was able to find episodes 3 and 4 on youtube as well

I thought it was pretty funny. I doubt we'll ever see it in the US (on TV), though.

The guy with the glasses proved to be a very funny character, and I got some real laughs from that guy.

I enjoyed the 'RTFM' shirt, as well.

EDIT: Heh, I just noticed the FSM poster on the wall, too. That's pretty awesome.

To be honest, I look at this the same way I look at Dilbert: hugely amusing unless you've ever had to work in that sort of environment. Yeah, there're some good (meaning insightful) cracks in it, but it really doesn't carry itself on its own merits IMHO.

I will, however, admit that Katherine Parkinson is defintely an eye-grabber, and Graham Linehan (of Father Ted fame) is a damned good writer.
