Hi there !
Today, we'll talk about....What ? What do you mean "It's been a heck of a long time for you didn't post anything at all ?" Well, you know, I've been so busy...and stuff...and there was this time...and....OK ! Fine...I forgot a little about the blog for a while. But I'm on holiday ! So you know....
Ok, I've got no excuses.
Except that now, it's season 2 ! Yeah; The previous posts were like the first season of my blog, and now, it's the second ! And this is not something I just made up.
Ok ! So, season 2 of the blog.
And today, we'll talk about a tv show entitled The IT Crowd.
Let me tell right now, it's an awesome tv show. But you're wondering: what does it talk about ?
Well, it's about Jen, and the two men at each of her side, Moss and Roy.
Jen doesn't know a damn thing about computers. She thinks she is going to work in some building, have an office in one of the highest floor (with a nice view) and may be have some crazy time with her co-workers....It seems as it's going to be what she thinks, even her crazy ass boss states in the first episode: "That's the sort of place this is Jen....A lof of sexy people not doing much work....and having affairs !"
Except that Jen, desesperatly wanting to have a job lied a little in her resume, and said she knew about computers and stuff. She does not. And because her boss lacks IT people, she is gonna join them. 2 men. Offices in the basement. Don't ever lie about your resume. Ever.
What to say about Moss and Roy ? Well, they are geeks. Now, before you say anything, I know this term is now widely spread and that anybody who just discovered Mozilla Firefox instead of Internet Explorer tells his friend "Oh man, in fact, IE, it's so crap. You should totally use firefox.. It's like way better! I discovered it on some unknown forum where I'm not gonna go again. I'm so geek!"
But here, we have, if we could say, the first geeks. The one that were there before the fashion "geek" settled itself in our minds.
So, you can imagine that this woman, who doesn't know a gorram thing about computers, and who is going to be Head of the IT department, is going to be in a very bad position.
This TV show is one of the funniest I've ever seen. And I've seen a lot of them. It's almost as good as "Friends" (I'm a big fan of Friends, so it can't be as good as, but still).
The characters are all great, all very british. Even the second characters, and those you see in 2/3 episodes in the entire serie (4 seasons, with 6 episodes each time. English format) are very well done.
Here are a few examples of the secundary characters you'll meet in the tv show:
This man is the boss of the corparation they are all working in. He is crazy. One of my favourite.
This is his son. He has a problem with women. You'll see...
My favourite. Oh Richmond...
You got the message. Each of The It Crowd's characters are very well constructed, batshit crazy (or at least, half of them), which leads to some very funny lines, and sketches.
But this show presents also a very nice humor with some reflection on society sometimes
I remember for example the episode on "piracy" and with the german cannibal. Or with the emergency number....
So, now that you've seen a few scenes of this awesome tv show, I really advise you to take the leap and see it. You can watch it with friends too, you'll have a good time.
This man came here to drink milk and have a good time. And I think he just finished his milk. What about you ?
