Need to watch the thick of it!

2025-10-13 15:37:57 +0000 UTCYou never done Father Ted?
Ian Warren
2025-10-04 02:00:17 +0000 UTCI agree. I'm a huge Beatles fan and people actively seek out Beatles reaction videos to complain about how they're "overrated". I don't look at other bands reaction videos that I don't like to complain, I just leave them be. I think it's a jealousy thing. If what you enjoy is being called "overrated" then it's someone who is jealous by its success.
Ian Warren
2025-10-04 01:05:23 +0000 UTCTo those saying that the show is overrated: Why don't you just leave it to those who enjoy it? Rather than inflicting your sourness onto something others like. Arrogance.

2025-10-03 18:54:44 +0000 UTCOh my god i can't wait for the 'work outing' episode, Mike and Jess may die laughing at that one!! S2E1 i think so we're gonna have to wait a while unfortunately.

2025-10-02 18:23:15 +0000 UTCI love this show so much. I really hope one day maybe you guys could do The Mighty Boosh, one of my fave UK comedy shows

Alexander Munro
2025-09-30 14:21:25 +0000 UTCThe Bill is a cop show from the 80s and 90s, and Casualty is a hospital drama.
Alexander Munro
2025-09-30 14:18:13 +0000 UTCJason Statham would have been amazing in this show!
Alexander Munro
2025-09-30 14:12:11 +0000 UTCHe's not the only one from this show who was in Darkplace either. I recommended it for one of the empty slots as it's both brilliant and only one season long.
Terrahawk
2025-09-29 12:47:43 +0000 UTCGraham Lineham’s shows are the perfect mixture of absurdity and grounded comedy. I also recommend Father Ted and Black Books. I personally prefer Black Books.
Kayleigh
2025-09-28 23:19:22 +0000 UTCYES!! 👏
Indigo Blue
2025-09-28 11:16:07 +0000 UTCAbsurd take but ok
Steve Wood
2025-09-28 04:33:45 +0000 UTCI'm so happy you've started watching this, you wait until season 2 episode 1 - the whole episode is the finest piece of comedy writing I've ever seen, every single scene is absolute genius and it's highly regarded as one of the best episodes of any comedy ever produced
Christian
2025-09-28 01:11:03 +0000 UTCNever watched this before but was pleasantly surprised by how funny it was. The guy who plays Moss, Richard Ayoade is in a 1 series 6 episode show called Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace, he’s excellent in it. It is a parody show of old badly acted drama’s, it’s weird as hell but funny.
Delia P
2025-09-27 17:52:38 +0000 UTCMan, with the IT crowd and most of British comedy, nothing has been bettered... I'm sorry, but US comedy overly tries to explain why it's funny (which makes it unfunny) - whereas British comedy says, if you don't get it, that's on you. Love youre reactions... becasue you get it, no filler required. Love your reactions. Thanks.
Jonah Schooh
2025-09-26 21:37:03 +0000 UTCHis character name is Maurice Moss, he is called by his surname.
Susan Jack
2025-09-26 18:02:34 +0000 UTCFavourite by far
Ryan Naylor
2025-09-26 17:51:41 +0000 UTCMoss and The German in particular.

zStarr
2025-09-26 17:23:00 +0000 UTCA very similar show to this "Black Books", which has likewise has a trio of crazy Irish man, bewildered British man, and struggling woman. It was co-written by the writer of this, Graham Linehan.
Ronnie Cassinello
2025-09-26 11:54:03 +0000 UTCThe more UK comedies you watch, you’ll keep seeing lots of the same people popping up as different characters. The producer of IT Crowd, Ash Atalla, also produced The Office. He appears briefly as a character in IT Crowd too. Later episodes you’ll recognise actors that have been in Peep Show.
BlackCountrySoul
2025-09-26 10:01:24 +0000 UTCFather Ted next yes come on. I'm delighted ye love this show
Brian Boru
2025-09-25 20:01:23 +0000 UTCcan't wait for 'Work Outing' and 'Dinner Party'
Δ Tessellate
2025-09-25 11:27:28 +0000 UTCWhen they tell Renholm that his computer is voice activated lol, we did that at my old job. The person in charge of I.T. was just like Jen and knew nothing about computers/technology so we printed off a sticker with fake "voice command" instructions and stuck it on the photocopier to prank him and he fell for it! he was shouting how many copies he wanted and getting increasingly frustrated that it wouldn't work for him, it took him a good week to realise he'd been pranked XD. We also used to steal the ball out of his mouse so it wouldn't work and EVERY time he bought a new mouse, and later when he upgraded to the infrared/laser ones we would just put a sticker over the sensor, temporarily disabling it. He never thought to turn the mouse over, and continued to buy a new mouse EVERY time! Ahhhh, memories.
Δ Tessellate
2025-09-25 11:22:20 +0000 UTCMike, you're right in that this a show with whacky as well as realistic elements. Hence, Father Ted and Black Books are highly recommended as they are in the same vain (all 3 written/co-written by Graham Linehan). Of course future shows will be done with a vote.

2025-09-24 23:39:49 +0000 UTCThis is a show that just gets better and better. Can't wait for this!
Jamie Johnson
2025-09-24 23:12:56 +0000 UTCIt finally begins, so excited for this series!!!
2 ard
2025-09-24 22:15:59 +0000 UTCThey've explained over and over that they swap shows out. I'm sure they'll get back to it.
Kenneth Swan
2025-09-24 22:06:28 +0000 UTCI've never seen it either, like most of these series. I missed so many shows when my kids were growing up but I'm glad I get to watch them now
Rayne

2025-09-24 21:00:50 +0000 UTCI almost unsubbed when you dropped Peep Show. Now you hit us with Extras and The I.T Crowd....😂 Bravo, good choices.
Christopher West
2025-09-24 20:51:43 +0000 UTCI can name 10 shows that Mike and Jess would enjoy more
Stu 79
2025-09-24 20:31:49 +0000 UTCLove this show! Glad you enjoyed it

2025-09-24 20:01:47 +0000 UTCI've been saying this for years, I'm not sure it'll ever be topped
Doghole
2025-09-24 19:58:15 +0000 UTCWhile you're on prime, you need to watch LOL: Last one laughing. It has Bob Mortimer, Richard Ayoade, and a load of other comedians trying to make each other laugh. It's only about 6 episodes but it Is hilarious.
Craig Yates
2025-09-24 19:43:01 +0000 UTCWho needs a gym when you're subscribed to Mike and Jess?!
Emily
2025-09-24 19:24:11 +0000 UTCIn the episode of Extras that you just watched when Ricky Gervais' female friend (sorry can't remember her name) was trying to push in the queue for the toilet but the woman who she pushed in front of told the guy she fancied that she'd got diarrhoea?......well that was Jen in period costume! Don't know if that was worth it, but I found it interesting!
Tonia Laws
2025-09-24 19:10:33 +0000 UTCGarth Marenghi's Darkplace, you need to watch this guys
Boydern
2025-09-24 19:07:29 +0000 UTCNah, IMO The Royle Family is way over-rated (and I got what it was trying to do 100%, before anyone chirps in)
Fordy7169
2025-09-24 18:28:29 +0000 UTCDisgusting! No one wants to see that. Yuck.
Jeffrey44
2025-09-24 18:25:57 +0000 UTCMike and Jess, it's Moss, Roy and Jen. Denholm Reynholm is the top boss guy. You'll pick them up no doubt.
Fordy7169
2025-09-24 18:25:33 +0000 UTCSeason 2 episode 1 is one of the greatest TV show episodes of all time
Drjones22
2025-09-24 18:17:05 +0000 UTCYeh, I double taked /took as I have now seen her in other bits.. Katherine Parkinson right? Lady in the toilet queue.

Paul Coplen
2025-09-24 17:52:38 +0000 UTCIt just gets better and better. Season 1 sets it up but season 2 is where it properly finds its feet….”I’m disabled!” 😊
David JB
2025-09-24 17:51:05 +0000 UTCFantastic show!
Luke
2025-09-24 17:40:08 +0000 UTCThis is genuinely the most overrated show in uk
4houghts tgc
2025-09-24 17:30:37 +0000 UTCI suspect if we did a survey it wouldn’t be due to age. First episode is always just an introduction. It’s definitely very silly and not based in reality, there’s no denying that.
Julian
2025-09-24 17:04:47 +0000 UTCI must be the wrong age for this type of comedy as I didn't find it funny at all.
Eric
2025-09-24 16:15:43 +0000 UTCI thought was great richard Ayoude is hilarious and bob ofcourse
Col Boro
2025-09-24 15:40:07 +0000 UTCfinally!!!! this is serious TV gold

Bricktop
2025-09-24 15:30:52 +0000 UTCThis was great! Another show I've not seen before. This is gonna be a blast!
Emily
2025-09-24 15:19:26 +0000 UTCFunnily enough the lady who plays Jen was an extra in the episode of Extras you just watched!
Hallsja
2025-09-24 14:56:03 +0000 UTCOh no, ITC makes my belly hurt by crying with laughter, not again 🤣🤣🤣
Dan Anderson
2025-09-24 14:49:14 +0000 UTCYou guys should check out Jimmy Carr's Last One Laughing. Featuring Bob Mortimer and Richard Ayoade amongst others. A bunch of comedians trying to make each other laugh. It was stupid, stupid funny, but right up your street.
Jamie Macdonald
2025-09-24 14:30:04 +0000 UTCHELLLOOO! HEEELLLLLLOOO! Ladies and Gentlemen, President Elect Denholm Reynholm... 🤣✌️❤️🏴🇬🇧🏳️🌈

2025-09-24 14:15:27 +0000 UTCJen was actually in the last episode of extras u watched.
bdazzer85
2025-09-24 14:14:40 +0000 UTCHonestly my first ever watch of this program. Heard loads about it. Always put it off and actually enjoying it so far. Probably never would of gave it a chance if it wasn’t for Jess and Mike
Mark Rudd
2025-09-24 14:00:40 +0000 UTCKatherine Parkinson who plays Jen is going to be playing Molly Weasley in the new Harry Potter show
Michael
2025-09-24 13:25:18 +0000 UTCThe trip to the Theatre has to be the best episode ever
GeeBee
2025-09-24 13:19:29 +0000 UTCdid you not recognise the lady boss here? she was in the toilet queue in the recent episode on extras telling the dude that ashley jensen character had diarrhea.
Super Hans
2025-09-24 13:04:12 +0000 UTCYou're almost reaching the peak that is Garth Marenghi's Darkplace....
Kaz
2025-09-24 13:00:21 +0000 UTCSome of those on-screen text prompts during the pauses were quite interesting. There didn't seem to be any spoilers there, so maybe worth a read in future.
Tez
2025-09-24 12:44:03 +0000 UTCDefinitely! I heard he does a lot of good work around women's rights as well these days.
Tez
2025-09-24 12:40:54 +0000 UTCI hope they get to it one day too! I think it has the potential to be their favourite ever show.
Tez
2025-09-24 12:37:28 +0000 UTCOh dear, did Graham Linehan make your feelings all hurty?
Steve Moppett
2025-09-24 12:28:34 +0000 UTCChris Morris is a comedy genius and he is brilliant in this. Brass Eye in particular changed the game when it comes to British comedy. It was way ahead of its time with its themes. Much as I might despise the person Linehan is also one of the best writers that we have ever had. Father Ted and this are absolute genius shows. I know we are a way off but the opening episode of series 2 is one of the best 20-odd minutes of comedy of all time. I only hope that the version you guys have bought is uncensored. Episode 3 of series 3 ‘The Speech’ was removed from a lot of streaming platforms. You can despise people’s opinion but in my view anything is fair game when it comes to comedy and censorship in comedy retroactively is especially terrible. Hopefully you can find it elsewhere if not.
Garry Allen
2025-09-24 12:04:34 +0000 UTCLove this show and Jess will fall in love with Moss for sure - the adorable nerd! haha
Michael Ross
2025-09-24 12:04:25 +0000 UTCWould love to see you take on Father Ted, another show by this writer, my favourite comedy of all time. It's set in Ireland with Irish actors, but is technically a UK comedy by Channel 4. It's proven very popular on other reaction channels that I watch too.
Tim
2025-09-24 11:44:29 +0000 UTCIt's ridiculous, everything funny is stooopid, I love it. The show takes the piss out of itself for not really having any substance, don't look for any and you'll love it
Christian Rolfe
2025-09-24 11:17:38 +0000 UTCEvery show rotates, that’s how things are done in this joint.
Julian
2025-09-24 10:55:37 +0000 UTCI’ve not watched it and now you have put me off 😂
Craig Wright
2025-09-24 10:50:58 +0000 UTCOne of my favourite shows! You're gonna love it!
Jason White
2025-09-24 10:47:37 +0000 UTCthis whole show is epic and gets sillier :P

mark
2025-09-24 10:08:11 +0000 UTCThis is another new one for me, that was brilliant 😂 It reminds me of Big Bang Theory. Bye nerd! 🤓
Emma Edwards
2025-09-24 09:27:59 +0000 UTCExcept Richard Ayoade and Chris O'Dowd, you're right
Sean Riley
2025-09-24 09:20:12 +0000 UTCSo long since I’ve seen this show. Great to watch it back again, it’s hilarious 😂😂
Col
2025-09-24 09:17:38 +0000 UTCSo happy you’re reacting to this! And I really appreciate skip back because you miss so much less!
Eleanor Elliott
2025-09-24 09:13:01 +0000 UTCThe best one 😂
Lauren Massey
2025-09-24 09:07:47 +0000 UTCI'm fairly sure all three of the main actors have been on Taskmaster too, so there's that to look forward to! EDIT: Only Katherine (Jen)
DC
2025-09-24 09:02:45 +0000 UTCAbsolutely brilliant!
Marc
2025-09-24 09:00:33 +0000 UTCSo glad you guys are reacting to this! Hopefully it will lead to Father Ted & Toast of London eventually. Fingers crossed.
PunchyPariah
2025-09-24 08:50:06 +0000 UTCBrilliant reaction. Never watched this before, looking forward to enjoying this journey with you both.
Paul Archibald
2025-09-24 08:17:22 +0000 UTCAlso, most of the cast also played the part of guests on the Alan Partridge 'Knowing Me Knowing You' chat show. Anything starting Alan Partridge, (played by Steve Coogan), is comedy gold.
South Coast Rich
2025-09-24 08:13:24 +0000 UTCChris Morris, who plays the boss or chairman, Denham, is a very talented writer and comedy actor. He's absolutely superb playing the chief anchor on the rolling news spoof 'The Day Today' which just ran for one series of six episodes quite a few years ago but every episode was hilarious. Also, I loved Richard Ayaode when he was the host of 'Travel Man' where he'd accompany various celebrities, usually comedians, on short city breaks in Europe and sometimes further afield. Richard's dry wit was the best part of it, although it was quite interesting too.
South Coast Rich
2025-09-24 08:10:26 +0000 UTCGraham Linehan is just a genius.
Daryl Layton
2025-09-24 08:05:35 +0000 UTCShow takes a minute to find its feet. Some of the early episodes are just OK, but it ramps up into something truly great. Stick with it!
Menty
2025-09-24 07:47:17 +0000 UTCI think it’s best if we don’t discuss that. It will get political really quick.

Clive Parry
2025-09-24 07:39:07 +0000 UTCI didn't realise you were doing this. This is an all time great show, up there with the Inbetweeners. It gets better with every viewing. Like a lot of people, looking forward to the theatre episode in season 2! 🤘
MarkeB
2025-09-24 07:32:32 +0000 UTCi actually haven't watched this for legit over 10 years at least, had me laughing out loud! so happy to be watching it with you guys!
Watwhy
2025-09-24 07:29:39 +0000 UTCBack in the early to mid 2000s this was definitely the vibe, I had a PC shop and people were transitioning in the work place into PCs with very little idea how to use them. I once had to drive 20 miles on a call out only to find the PC wasn't plugged in, which I'd specifically asked if it was!
Athan Immortal
2025-09-24 07:25:39 +0000 UTCI only realized that watching their reaction!

2025-09-24 07:23:37 +0000 UTCLETS GOOOOO!
TES
2025-09-24 07:23:17 +0000 UTCIt's crazy what's happening to the writer of this show Graham Linehan, he also wrote other greats including father ted, he was on joe rogan a few weeks ago would defo recommend it, he then got arrested for some tweets when arrived back here in the UK
Antony Green
2025-09-24 07:20:38 +0000 UTCJen was also in yesterday's Extras, shes the girl in front of Maggie in the toilet queue
Kat
2025-09-24 07:20:11 +0000 UTCLove you have got to this show and I would bet the episode everyone is waiting for you to watch involves a trip to the theatre.

2025-09-24 07:13:59 +0000 UTCA true genius! I don’t think he was involved with I’m Alan Partridge other than being in it though
Kieran B
2025-09-24 07:13:47 +0000 UTCThis show is so good. Season 2 ep1 is my personal favourite, probably the funniest episode in the history of the world 🤣
Bikeaholic
2025-09-24 07:08:55 +0000 UTCThis is rotating with Only Fools and Horses
Julian
2025-09-24 07:06:47 +0000 UTCI needed an excuse to watch this again. I literally can’t wait for the theatre episode. Surely it has to be father ted after season 1 of this??? 😀
Graham L
2025-09-24 07:05:45 +0000 UTCWork outing? =D
Christopher Bergren
2025-09-24 07:03:02 +0000 UTC23 minute episodes is quite normal for Channel 4 (like Peep Show and Inbetweeners). BBC shows have no commercials and are usually 29/30 minutes.
Julian
2025-09-24 06:53:53 +0000 UTCDenholm is Chris Morris. The Godfather of British Satire. The Day Today, Jam, Brass Eye, I’m Alan Partridge.. What Ali G did to unknowing celebrities, Chris did it before to such an extent he had to take hiatus inbetween Shows, so people would forget about his attacks. He was raised in the House of Commons by an MP who thought he was real. The King of Satire.
Clive Parry
2025-09-24 06:51:24 +0000 UTC20 yrs hasnt made it any funnier i hope it gets better i miss peep show lol
Col Boro
2025-09-24 06:34:51 +0000 UTCIt gets so much better, and everyone is gonna be waiting for one episode in particular.

Stu 79
2025-09-24 06:19:13 +0000 UTCThis show is so good, an all timer. I mentioned it elsewhere but for the TBD slot I recommend Garth Merenghi's Dark Place, it's only one season long (six episodes), some of the cast from the IT Crowd are in it and it's just genius.
Terrahawk
2025-09-24 06:15:14 +0000 UTCGreat, great reaction
