IT Crowd truest moment ever!

[MrOnionterror]

FSM poster on the wall...

[101metalfan2]

i love at the end of the episode when she comes down and starts beating him up :D

[kabouter592]

hahah i am an it guy to but still in school :P i understand:P

[TheTedryder]

@ShadowWolfofPack Well there was that one European that wasn't rude to Americans but he was just busy at the time.

[samantttha]

I used to work as hardware support...i know his pain

[athaz697]

@samantttha I did too.. had days where the solution was "go downstairs and plug it in for them"... understand, I had asked them if it was plugged in. They said yes. It was not. /facepalm

[samantttha]

@athaz697 hahaha people's brains turn to jelly when they come across anything electrical, makes me laugh, also gave me brain damage banging my head against the desk

[21samsilva]

Truest moment ever...?

[fabse64]

1:30 Synchronization ftw :)

[TheTedryder]

@Toycey123 Wrong! Europeans have an elitist attitude and always strike first. Every time! If you come to America, you will see that. People will embrace you. Most Americans love foreigners as we're made up of foreigners. We are proud though so if you offend, we will offend back. As far as wars go, I personally think you're partially right. I think we should take a different stance. We should stay out of everyone's bs but if they mess with us we should destroy them and rebuild nothing.

[ShadowWolfofPack]

@TheTedryder The fact that you just generalised all Europeans should counter your argument.

[ThingsWeSaidToday]

@TheTedryder I sincerely hope what I am smelling right now is troll...

[McMeevin]

Invalid memory, leads to BSOD, yes?

[Inzolity]

@McMeevin Hasn't occured to me. I'd say plausible, but highly unlikely.



[BvWGaragepoort]

@McMeevin It can, but most of the time the OS should be able to handle such an error. The program or thread trying to use the invalid memory will crash. I think when a driver tries to acces invalid memory there is a chance at bsod. But I can't imagine why a driver would do that, even a program most likely won't do that. It is possible they will try to acces parts of the ram card that are broken causing a bsod. I'm not sure about all this. But this seems logical. Better ask an engineer.

[nootkpr]

Wow... Rule 26 in action right here. How the hell did people manage to get onto the vietnam war from this?!

[crapatev]

@nootkpr "Rule 26" ... is that a variant of Godwin's (don't mention the Nazis) Law?

[athaz697]

@crapatev Google Rule 26, I just found it: Every topic can easily be turned into something unrelated. Preceded by Rule 25: Relation to the original topic decreases with every post. XD

[crapatev]

@athaz697 Thanks ;)

[Gavin17259]

Too many replies!

[FenrirStrife1]

I respectfully disagree. Truest moment on the IT crowd:

*Bomb defusal robot system crashes*

"What OS is it running?"

"Windows Vista!"

"We're all gonna die."

[bevivian22]

@FenrirStrife1 this is definitly one of the best - also the hot line guy in this episode is extreme ;)

for me I can't decide, is it this one or THE INTERNET ;)

[FenrirStrife1]

@bevivian22 Thats a nice tnetennba you have there.

[TheTedryder]

I'm not arguing. I'm just tired of Europeans offending America at every turn. It's disgusting. Americans don't do that for the most part. It seems to be ingrained in the educational and social system in European countries to denounce America at every turn.

As far as IT crowd goes. This is the one of the best comedies ever in my book. It's far better than the lousy "American" Big Bang Theory.

[bevivian22]

@TheTedryder

I wouldn't call Big Bang lousy but I agree, the IT Crowd is better, I think I'm laughing the whole time when I watch an episode, even if I already have seen it. To your point, this is true in some way (in my opionion) but often of course an Yes or No from Obama or who ever does impacts the whole world, not only North-Americans ;) A No from Mrs. Nein only Germany and Europe ;)

[Toycey123]

@TheTedryder The thing is, Americans are equally offensive and rude to Europeans. So don't get upset when we do it to you.

[TrentSki80]

If only our day was really this easy

[StripesElephant]

Why is everyone arguing? Just sit back, have a few laughs and that's it. And if you want to start a fight, well, fuck off.

[dorjjodvo1992]

wow wow why the fuck people are arguing on america and stuff on an IT crowd episode? O_o'

[TheTedryder]

If you don't like Americans then get off Youtube. It's owned by Google, an American company.

[TheTedryder]

Americans are getting real tired of fighting Europe's battles. You should thank us every time we do. As many times as we've saved your butts. Pretty soon we're going to let you deal with your own problems--I guess you liked having East Germany and Poland annexed? What did we take over? Nothing. We left.

Soon we're going to start just decimating countries and not rebuilding anything. Iran and North Korea should be very careful because they may become sheets of glass.

[dorjjodvo1992]

@TheTedryder whatever dude ;D

[Toycey123]

@TheTedryder The USA has been an independent country for 236 years and have been at war for 210 years - some wars overlapping (you couldn't even stop fighting before you started another war).

[TheTedryder]

I only responded to you jerks because, once again, you specks threw the first stone. As far as Vietnam goes, we lost? When did that happen? Is it our job to defeat armies, rebuild countries and educate their children before we get a win. We won EVERY battle in Vietnam. It's hard to lose when this happens. The US politicians pulled us out and the corrupt Southern Vietnam fell. Learn some history. We're tired of fighting your wars for you!

[carlosgodoy1]

@TheTedryder Dude... We definitely LOST vietnam. South VietNam had been completely taken over by the Communists, whom we'd gone over there to fight in the first place. The Goal? roll back communism. The result? We did NOT rollback communism.

[SpartanStig117]

so which part is true? lol

[hiddenbutdeadly]

0:46

tv hightlight of the weeeeeeeeek

[dameinisnumberthe1]

anyone else notice stewie behind roy?

[immot88]

RTFM :D

[theshocka1]

im glad this show was on netflix its quite hilarious

[1993gandy]

@theshocka1 You do realise you can watch full shows officially on youtube?

[zim831]

@1993gandy Not this one, well not in the U.S., the official channel refuses to serve us here. I suppose it's only fair given all the internet services America gets that are blocked from other countries (like Hulu).

[TheTedryder]

The thing is, we Americans, just don't care about those little countries over there. They are just specks to us. Sorry you thought it was significant to us. We do like your comedy here though. Keep that up and maybe we'll learn about your geography. You'll be the funny little specks that come up with those silly shows that make us laugh.

[AviatorAlex1]

@TheTedryder fuck off.

[helgih580]

@AviatorAlex1 I second that.

[Odribah]

@TheTedryder Do you try to make your country look like ignorant fucks or is that just second nature to you? They're all people too, not just "specks", and actually they colonized America, so get fucked.

[PTD01]

@TheTedryder THE THING IS its people like u tha giv the US a bad rep. I no plenty of lovely Americans, but at the same time u do tend to get a few ignorant and oblivious 1s. Ur completely full urself. Let me bring u bk to reality a 'tad' bit sweetheart. Ur country was created by every other country in the world - the culture, the blood, etc. How can u possibly be betta? I cud go on and on for longer than ur country has existed, but i'd rather not waste my time - more IT Crowd clips to enjoy :D

[elinxxxxx]

@TheTedryder Specks that made your country one of the most powerful countries on earth. Yeah, right specks.

Fuck off cunt

[hiddenbutdeadly]

@TheTedryder

just like jeremy clarkson said

everyone in america is very fat very stupid and very rude

[1993gandy]

@TheTedryder The thing is America has only been to one war without help from other countries and that country was Vietnam. The "worlds" most powerful country lost that war to a bunch of people who was basically using nothing but sticks, rocks and maybe a few handguns and despite it being 2012 that country America went to war with still doesn't have internet faster than dial-up.

[staggabob]

@1993gandy Well done, you've proved you know literally nothing about the Vietnam war. I assume Australia, New Zealand, Korea etc. don't count as other countries? I won't even bother with the sticks and rocks comment. Anyway, this is an IT Crowd vid- take your anti American rantings to an appropriate forum.

[1993gandy]

@staggabob The whole point of the Vietnam war was to stop the spread of communism right?

Well America did win pretty much all the battles, but communism still spread out therefore they lost the war. It's the same story for Korea, last time I looked North and South Korea are communist countries

As for Australia, you do know that was a fictional war thought up by Rockstar Games because their games get censored before releasing it to Australia and it never happened in real life?

[1993gandy]

@1993gandy Google seems to think there never was a New Zealand vs America war.

[staggabob]

@1993gandy Mate, seriously...you had to look that up?

[staggabob]

@1993gandy Those countries I listed are among the ones who were involved in the Vietnam war alongside the USA against a North Korean army (who used soviet built tanks, missiles, jet fighters- rumoured to have Soviet pilots- etc) and the VC guerrilla forces. I have no idea why you're talking about Rockstar games. South Korea is not a communist country, you aren't helping yourself here. Like I said, this is not the place to be talking about Vietnam anyway, if you want to discuss it further PM me!

[Rsspecial1]

@TheTedryder

Lol and you'll just be a spek when you talk like a mug like that to the wrong person. You're country is pathetic, the WORLD is against you. Grow up and open your eyes, before some big scary man gouges them out for you.

MORON

[secretmiggles]

ahahaha yeh hes so right, you dont want to left in the middle of invalid memory! lol

[mastoidrama]

@aarjcasey Hey now, I blame our American school system.

[FadingAway90]

thats about right Moss is epic lol

[mortic0n]

It's a bit scary that I can actually understand everything Moss is saying. OTL

[SanLong88]

@mortic0n It's a sign of a good show with good backgroud research! :D

[Kslowmo]

"I'm sorry you're from the past?"

[ReijiAoeGirl666]

ahhhhhhhhhhhh! I love that scene, but it freaks me out!!! ANSWER THE PHONE GODDAMNIT!!!!

[secretmiggles]

I love the contrast between the to characters in this scene. Moss is so enthusiastic about it lol

[AlexAlexno]

before the video starts i must so laugh about the commercial :DDDD

Bavaria visits brasilia i think its saying enough :DDDDDDD

seeing the video and im dieing :DDDDD

[scampben]

Love it how he reaches for ... his coffee!

[athaz697]

@scampben probably tea, they're british =D

[brewster99]

@athaz697 He's actually Irish, not british....

[athaz697]

@brewster99 Well obviously, but the show is set in britain...

[MrAdamocovic]

@athaz697 infairness in ireland we drink gallons of tea as well lol doesn't matter same for both ireland and britain so your probably right ha

[TheSevanthNinja]

@brewster99 Britaain includes (part of) Ireland.

[MicrowavableJo]

@brewster99 Ireland is in Britain, dumbshit

[doylo]

@MicrowavableJo No it's not, dumb ignorant shit

[doylo]

@MicrowavableJo you do realise that northern ireland and ireland are different countries? they even use different money...

[spoon149]

@MicrowavableJo they should really make people take an IQ test before commenting

[OneWayTrip1]

@brewster99 unless he's northern irish...

[tobzere14]

@brewster99 so, its wisky

[Olliesama]

@athaz697 I'm British and I hate tea. XD

[athaz697]

@Olliesama I'm American and I love it... we're both freaks XD

[Olliesama]

@athaz697 Outcasts of our cultures XD

[Morrisman1996]

@athaz697 I'm Australian and I like both. XD

[Ravenclawlover]

@athaz697 Ireland is part of Britain...

[Treacs05]

@Ravenclawlover

Actually ireland is part of the British Isles, Britain refers to the biggest island eg. England, Scotland and Wales.

[Ravenclawlover]

@Treacs05 well you learn something new every day

[LithiumDynamite]

@Treacs05 Northern Ireland is, the Republic is independent

[ZKY2]

@LithiumDynamite Ireland is not part of the United Kingdom, but it IS part of the British Isles.

[LithiumDynamite]

@ZKY2 True, true

[FrankioloDiddlyDee]

@ZKY2 not everybody would agree that Ireland is 'part of the British Isles'.

[ZKY2]

@FrankioloDiddlyDee It's not a matter of opinion. It's a matter of geography.

The chain of islands we live on are called 'The British Isles'. It has nothing to do with nationality, it's geography.

[FrankioloDiddlyDee]

@ZKY2 Yes but not everybody calls them the British Isles. That is what I meant.

[Toycey123]

@FrankioloDiddlyDee The British Isles are: England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland. The UK is: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. And Britain is: England, Scotland and Wales.

[kevinjonassupport156]

@athaz697 Another thing is that they do have a coffee maker in the office.

[athaz697]

@kevinjonassupport156 Do they? Well anyway (to everyone in The Great Coffee vs Tea Debate), you can see right at the beginning when he sets the cup down, there's a string and tab from the tea bag...

[kevinjonassupport156]

@athaz697 I think that's the design on the cup...

[athaz697]

@kevinjonassupport156 I rewatched it, and you are correct sir....

[MoolaTube]

As as ex-helpdesk agent I can say that this scene is in no way exaggerated or simply hyperbole. Infact I have heard much worse than this!

Society is doomed!

[AltitudeF22]

PEBCAK

[tuseroni]

yeah we had a lady in earlier this week she was sharing a story where one of the ladies where she works was absolutely livid that the computers werent working and she couldnt figure out how to get it to work, apparently her husband had shut them off the previous day and she was unaware that they turned on and off.

[athaz697]

@tuseroni o.O sadly... I can't say I'm shocked, I worked helpdesk too long... that's just par for the course >.<

My favourite lately was a Tier 1 and Tier 2 conferencing me about a customer with slow internet speeds. Was showing .11mb download and .21mb upload... I verified the speeds, said "wow, that's awful, what speed are they paying for??"

Oh. They were paying for 128k down/256k up. /facepalm

[tuseroni]

@athaz697 i...w...th....what the hell is wrong with this world?

[athaz697]

@tuseroni That's not the worst. A DSL modem has to train up with the network equipment. No train = not physically connected = no internet.

A tier 1 opened a chat about a customer w/slow speeds. I get in the equip, and I'm like "oh, I'm showin they're not even trained.."

tier 1 says "yeah, I saw that too, but they're online but it's really slow..."

/facepalm... that's like me tellin you the car's out of gas n you sayin "I know, but the problem is it's goin really slow when I'm driving..." >.<

[RandomizedMonkeys]

"I told her"

[gtaxcstories]

I told HER! xDD

[TheDarkNomad]

I always laugh at Moss' reply:

"See, the driver hooks a function by patching the system core table so it's not safe to unload it unless another thread is about to jump in there and do

its stuff and you don't want to end up in the middle of invalid memory... hehe... uh, hello ?!?!"

That scene was genius...

[athaz697]

@TheDarkNomad I like his "Have you tried forcing an unexpected reboot?" instead of "turning it off and on again" XD

[xeptiii]

@TheDarkNomad

it's "system call table" and it's a perfectly fine explanation why you shouldn't unload device drivers you don't really know what they're doing :)

[TheDarkNomad]

@xeptiii

I know it is, and I know it makes more sense to be "call", but I can swear he says "core" :P

Guess it is easier to digest than something like "mapped function table" :)

[starkidellen]

"are you from the past?" XD hahaha

[alfagius]

Flying Spaghetti Monster poster in the background!!

[NinjaHotel]

rtfm - read the f**k*ng manual :D

[johnnyrose666]

are you from the past? ha ha ha

[alexrod830515]

R.T.F.M  for god's sake

[windowsromania2011]

hahaha that's ME when I'm on Yahoo Messenger and EVERY single person bugs me with their PC problems haha

[fezile]

lol i love the it crowd

[dtihkse]

why can't inventors make computers idiot proof?

[athaz697]

@dtihkse because you can't make users not be idiots...

[VyseN1]

@dtihkse

Because the world will always create a bigger and better idiot.

[guitarguy1337]

@dtihkse The world is a battle between programmers making more and more idiot proof software, and the universe making bigger and bigger idiots. The universe is winning...

[2randomcrap3]

@guitarguy1337 and the universe will ALWAYS win every single time! The programmers and engineers will finally make computers that will read your mind and anticipat exactly what you want the computer to do, but the people who use them will not have a clue as to what they want the computer to do. The hyper-morons will get confused, and the computer will call tech support for them. Then the support tech will invent the dodecouple facepalm-headdesk

[froiddias]

@dtihkse A wise person once said: "Nothing is idiot proof enough to a sufficiently talented idiot"

[tuseroni]

@dtihkse as soon as you make something idiot proof someone invents a better idiot.

[TalesOfWar]

@dtihkse There's a great Dilbert comic strip covering that subject.

Boss: "It works great, but make sure this thing is totally idiot proof"

Dilbert: "Again?"

[IrdW]

@dtihkse It's called a "mac".

[tuseroni]

@dtihkse because someone makes a better idiot.

[ComprehendingChaos]

FSM?

[athaz697]

I work a helpdesk, and we WISH we could neglect answering the phone that long LOL!

Is amazing how many times turning it on and off actually does help... and honestly, I've answered two or three "oh, it's not plugged in" calls just in the last month... /facepalm

[Stormhammer87]

@athaz697 DUDE, I always feel like a moron when I finally hit a dead end, ask the Tier 2 guy, and he's like "... did you reboot?" <_<

[athaz697]

@Stormhammer87 I've moved onto Tier 3 support for an ISP - no more end users!!! /angels

[DemonAMVs]

@athaz697 Off and on generally works because they have started a program thats gone buggy. Ofcourse most people cannot use the control alt delete processes tab to find and remove it.

[Skython11]

@athaz697 You mean turning it off and on again, not on and off. :p

[hazer460]

lol so true
