After Work Reactions

Austin Stratton

The weird food at the restaurant was based on the chef Heston Blumenthal's food.. look him up he made some really weird stuff hence the wine-milk and radio/scourer/invisible desserts

LOL that is hilarious I didn't notice.

Sam P

I don't think you caught it during the episode, but 'Will's mum' also played Denholm's wife at his funeral. Some weird stuff going on in that family!

yeah agree with you totally. like sometimes it's not really funny but it still has a cool sci-fi story, but other times it's very funny

Lawrence Reynolds

Josh I'm so excited for you to start Red Dwarf! I love it, its such a special and interesting comedy- just keep going and watching it, the first series or two can be a little underwhelming, but honestly in hindsight they've got some of the best sci-fi concepts. but honestly keep going with it, you'll love it

Somes Jokes explained.... Heston Blumenthal is an award winning chef who was famous for making wacky concoctations like bacon flavoured ice cream. He was on Channel 4 at the time which a show where is made really weird foods The Suit Renholm wears is a copy of that worn by Paul McCartney's ex-wife, Heather Mills, during their divorce trial (https://tinyurl.com/yxbv8y9c). IT Crowd often based its stories around real life recent News Stories so the theme of the whole episode is referencing that case. The language Douglas uses, calling the judge "My learned M'lud" is way over the top and something you'd probably only see in High Court cases or TV dramas (Not to be confused as Moss did with 'My love'). "Your grace", as you'll know for GoT is a middle-ages term for a King or a Queen. A squib is a small firework, hence the expression a "a damp squib" to mean something redundant (i.e it wouldn't function)

Ash Jeffries

The courtroom scenes - exquisitely silly but so funny! Love the "paddle stool / pedestal and damp squid / damp squib malapropisms from Jen and Roy too! :-D Much as I enjoyed The IT Crowd at the time and saw every episode years ago, I don't think I have seen the very last episode so I'll look forward to watching next week. Might see if I can find the last ep first and watch it once through! You will grow to love Red Dwarf but it does grow hugely over time and much as I love the first series, it's quite different in look and tone to the series that follow and people's fond memories of the show. It really finds its feet in series 3. The issue in the early series is largely budgetary, and the show gains breadth and colour as more money is thrown at it. That said, I really value the dialogue and character focus in series 1. Rob Grant was this way inclined as a writer and he leaves at the end of series 6. The plot aspect had already picked up by series 3 (even 2!) but when Doug Naylor starts to write scripts on his own (series 7 onwards) there is IMHO a notable shift in focus on story over comedy. It's still a decent show but I think I preferred the Rob Grant / Doug Naylor collaboration overall. Series 3-6 is Red Dwarf GOLD. :-D

Steve King

I remember it foundly as a teenager but mainly from the female Holly era onward

Steve King

There is a bloke at my work whose surname is Moss, and he has a 2 syllable first name. I work in IT and me and a few collegues always shout when we see him "YOU'RE NAME IS *FIRSTNAME* MOSS, IS IT NOT?"....he laughs at us but don't think he gets the reference LOL. Never gets old

Michael Harrop

Genuinely think Moss in the stand at the courtroom is one of the best bits of physical comedy I've ever seen. Richard Ayoade absolutely killed it, had me howling first time I saw it😂

Michael Harrop

Yeah theres a special next

That wasn't the last episode was it? I thought they did one more years later?

Michael Harrop

Your name is Maurice Moss is it not?

David Lyons

A squib is a small pyrotechnic that makes a bang, commonly seen in movies when they want to simulate someone getting shot by a gun. So the phrase 'damp squib' means something that failed to go off correctly, creating an anticlimax.

Honestly I don't think you will like Red Dwarf.... at first at least. I never really found it funny, but I just enjoyed the aesthetic of the show.

Kevin Liversage

His suit and throwing the water is a reference to Heather Mills when divorcing Paul McCartney

Tom Merson

"VICTORIAAAA, BUT I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEEEAAAADDD" I will never fall out of love with Matt Berry's line delivery

I'll be honest, I remember thinking the final episode of The IT Crowd wasn't that strong, a lot of great moments (Games Board being a particular highlight) but it struggled with some pacing issues. Funnily enough I feel very similar to the Christmas special of Father Ted, a lot of very funny moments, but as an episode it isn't paced all that well. I'm willing to be proved wrong though, as I may be when I rewatch it! A lot of great series coming to an end, it's sad, but a lot of great ones are starting too!

gazzaarrgghh

Finished work, bored. Lets see if Josh has uploaded and HE HAS. YOU BEAUTIFUL MAN! <3
