There was a series of Car Insurance commercials in the 2000's in the UK, for Churchill Insurance. Their mascot was a bulldog that resembled Winston Churchill and he used to say "OHHH YES" in a deep voice. I think thats what Douglas is referring to :)
He also did a cameo ... or two in Father Ted didnt he ... for eg ... he was one of the priests on the plane ... cant quite remember wat he said but ... hes a genius isnt he .
The Churchill reference is about a car insurance advertising campaign at the time for the Churchill insurance group. Their "mascot" was a nodding dog, called Churchill, who's catchphrase was "Oh yes".
They were afraid of being called “transphobic” along with the rest of the western world. It’s a shame they use tyranny to intimidate people in fear of being cancelled or attacked by the left.
Unfortunately, this episode is banned from the Channel 4 streaming site because it offends the transgender community. Personally I think that’s not fair. These days some people are so sensitive, they just can’t take a joke and have no sense of humour.
It wasn't the transgender community it offended, it was people choosing to be offended 'on behalf' of the transgender community in an attempt to prop themselves up. As usual.
Churchill is the name of a mascot for an insurance company (also called Churchill) he’s a British bulldog who says “oh yes, oh yes, oh yes” I think he was originally a toy nodding dog (one of those car dashboard things that constantly nods its head), but later became an actual dog (or at least CGI)
Very much in the same vein as the Father Ted episode with the sheep, when someone says "Fuckin' 'Ell!", twice, in the background, also written by Graham Linehan.😅
@@johnboy2562Yes, in the sheep episode! I laughed so hard when it was first screened I had a five-minute coughing fit afterwards. The fact he slipped it in twice so perfectly 😂
I don't know if it's been recommended to you yet or not, but for those who enjoyed the ridiculousness of the IT Crowd, I always also recommend Black Books. If you've seen any Simon Pegg/Nick Frost films, you'll probably recognize some familiar faces in the cast. It's a surreal bit of a nonsense I that I personally really enjoy and hope you do to if you decide to check it out after IT Crowd.
"It's not you, it's me. No, it's not me, IT IS you!" XD! The fight scene was hilarious. And Moss completely refusing to trust Roy. I honestly wouldn't mind being April's boyfriend. Even if she was from Iran.
My favorite quote from Winston Churchill is : Lady Nancy Astor: Winston, if you were my husband, I'd poison your tea. Churchill: Nancy, if I were your husband, I'd drink it.
This episode had the Series 3 cameo of Graham Linehan who was the man who yelled "We're all going to die!". He appeared as a mariachi singer in Series 1 and the shaman who gave Douglas the "magic potion" in Series 2.
lol, I've binge watched the entirety of this show many many times and this episode is BY FAR my favorite. The actress playing April (Lucy Montgomery) was AMAZING and "the internet" which by the way I know of several people that are dumb enough to believe lol, was just icing on the cake.
Churchill ( as referred to ) was a talking " nodding dog " car ornament in an insurance company advert . Just think , if you had a PO box now many boxes of internet you'd get after this . Always great to see you reacting together to these .
THANK YOU for being brave enough to react to the entire episode (I never doubted you for a second! lol) Great reaction as usual! There are some woke you tubers that have reacted to it by sitting stoney-faced all the way through then being outraged at how shockingly transphobic it was! Keep up the good work, and please check out Matt Berry in "Toast of London" soon? :)
Watching this in hospital on a morphine drip, your both good people and mom and dad got me crying a bit now, most likely be laughing once I start watching ❤ the only fools and horses stuff on patron is getting me through too used to watch that with my grandad we'd both be laughing like children love and appreciation mate
When you've finished the IT Crowd, you need to watch Garth Marenghi's Darkplace. Another Channel 4 show with Richard Ayoade and Matt Berry. And it's only 6 episodes, so you'd get through it quickly
You need to watch Operation Good Guys, was by far the funniest police comedy ever, the episode with cocaine at the Christmas pantomime is hilarious. I flew from Heathrow to Dubai and laughed most of the way with tears rolling down my face. Think it is now on Prime
People can be convinced of some pretty ridiculous things... In about 2005, I managed to convince a girl I know that the Queen had died and been replaced by a robot. I told her she'd been run over by a horse not long after Princess Diana died, and the authorities had thought the public wouldn't be able to handle such an extreme amount of grief all at once, and so they'd commissioned Jim Henson's Creature Workshop to build an animatronic replacement to be wheeled out at public appearances. True story, she genuinely believed me 😂
If QB is enamoured by Moss now, she going to be head over heels after the Fredo episode. KB is probably going to have to take nerd lessons in order to stay in the race..
Probably not many Brits have even heard of Oman (in fact I just had to Google it myself), but otherwise I would agree the joke would have worked better.
I hadn’t seen this episode for a while and was misremembering that Douglas did actually think she’s said she was from Oman, so I was kinda surprised when he said Iran, ha. As for not many Brits having heard of Oman, that’s pretty harsh! I’m British and I have 🤷♀️
I'll try to explain the whole deal with this episode as neutrally and factually as possible (because it's a topic that inevitably riles a lot of people on both sides). When it aired, there were a few comments in the press and online that it was transphobic, but not much furore really - and it was about typical for the humour of the day (2008). Most people defended it, and many still do, because that viewpoint is pretty much in character for Douglas - the humour's punching down a bit, but it was 15 years ago, and there's a general expectation that audiences have the emotional maturity to recognise that a fictional character having a shitty viewpoint should not be taken as an endorsement of that viewpoint by their creator(s). However, after some limited accusations of transphobia following the airing of the episode, the show's creator/showrunner, Graham Linehan, started making some overt transphobic statements online and, over the years that followed, morphed into an all-out anti-transgender activist. There's a lot of stuff online which you can look up about his opinions on the matter, but suffice it to say, he's deeply committed to being anti-transgender, to the point that it destroyed his marriage and ended his career. So I suppose that's the thing. A lot of people find that it's harder to take the episode as a product of its time, or separate out the character of Douglas just being a fictional character being shitty, when it was written by someone with such strong anti-transgender views. Hope this helps give a reasonably neutral explanation of why this episode is divisive.
Yup. Graham Linehan's later behaviour inevitably pushed this episode from 'he a little confused but he got the spirit' to 'ok no that was just transphobic all along' for many people
I think I agree. In the context of the era some of the humor is a bit cringy, but in the end it's pretty much harmless. It only seems sinister In light of all the craziness Linehan spewed years later.
The guy who yells the line *”We’re all going to die”* when the internet gets destroyed is Graham Linehan, the show’s creator who also co-wrote Father Ted.
He also plays one of the 2 Irish men who go along to Ged Maxwell's house in S1E5 of I'm Alan Partridge. Along with Arthur Mathews, another fellow writer for Father Ted.
I think the King and Queen Boomer would enjoy the "Coupling" Series. There is some unusual comedy invention in the plots in some of the later episodes of Coupling.
Churchill was a British Prime Minister, who nodded at comments about insurance made in parliament, and when asked about invading Hitler’s Europe, said “Oh yes”.
I worked in IT from the mid 90's all the way to 2015, you would not believe how dumb some people were and are about technology. The turning it off and on again, totally a thing, the is it plugged in, totally a thing. In 2008 you could convince plenty of people the internet was a tangible thing. (well actually plenty of staff referred to modems and routers as "the internet")
I even had someone not that long ago look at the system case for my home PC and say "That's a big hard drive". It took me back to the late 1980s when PCs first had a hard drive inside them (rather than the operating system being on a ROM chip and any data had to be loaded from a floppy disc into RAM, each time you started up the computer) and everyone usually referred to the whole system case as "the hard drive".
My best IT call was for a "monitor problem" ... when i got there it turned out they had opened a window and accidently knocked a CRT monitor out of it, which was dangling by the cable.
i have that box at home next to my router lol. good conversation piece 😂😂 also got the mugcwith moss on the bottom, i use it too without saying, just so funny
So... usually I hate when people pause too much during reactions, but you folks are different. Your discussions during the pauses are so funny, insightful and they kinda make the reaction even better! Thank you for reacting to this series! BTW, after you finish IT Crowd I highly recommend you to next react to Black Books. You'll love it.
the churchill joke you wont get if youre not from uk, we had a car insurance company called churchill with a bulldog cartoon that said "oh yes" as a catchphrase, its not an uncommon joke here in uk back in the day to intentionally mix up the two for the banter
Richard Ayoade used to present Travel Man touring with fellow celebs in Europe, i.e. Paul Rudd etc but you'd enjoy episode when he takes his fellow cast of IT Crowd, Jen, Roy and only on for half hour under Travel Man on TH-cam.
I think this content of the episode isn’t actually that controversial, it’s relatively tame and has Douglas regretting his actions at the end. It’s more notorious because this kickstarted Graham’s spiraling after getting some light criticism for a couple of scenes. Also just to say I appreciate your message of acceptance at the end and really enjoyed the reaction to the whole episode.
Point 1. It’s ok to cry! It’s ok to bicker. Point 2. Can I please request… just try it … a BLUEY reaction with Queen Boomer!!! “I’ve slipped on my beans” 😂
@@KingBoomer so do I… but nobody is doing bluey reactions. Lots of very good episodes to discuss. My daughters first words were “Mom! - Dad! - Bingogoogo - buwwwwey!” The grannies are my favourite though. I mean my daughter’s favourite. I’m a grown man who doesn’t cry watching children’s cartoons. (Sometimes)
@lifesbutastumble yeah, blue movies, blue jokes etc. It turns out that due to dogs vision being the way it is that they can watch this particular cartoon on TV. There's video of dogs doing just that
I think the joke of the fight-scene is that she still has her man-strength so when they get in their lovers quarrel they're beating the shit out of each other? This is the Churchill thing: th-cam.com/video/N_eCLJglhy4/w-d-xo.html
Yeah that’s where it’s a bit distasteful and the bonding montage where April enjoys stereotypically masculine things , I will give credit for the ending scene with Douglas though
I know it is a near impossible task saying what the best episode is, but if I had to chose one, it would be The Work Outing. "A Gay musical called Gay. That's very gay" - "I thought it could work between us because you looked a bit like a man"
you're not pausing too often, buddy, THIS IS WHY WE ARE HERE!!! to see and listen to your reactions! THATS WHY IT'S A REACRION VIDEOGRAM ... oh you silly sausage. I bet you feel silly now. HAHAHA
No....the 'Churchill' bit, was him referring to a then very popular ad on the TV, for Car Insurance, where a comical 'nodding dog' (don't ask!) just says "Oooh, yes!" when questioned about something.....it has nothing to do with the Statesman!
The reference to Churchill saying “oh yes” refers to a car insurance advert for an insurance firm called Churchill who is a British bulldog who says “oh yes”…..not Winston Churchill
There was a series of Car Insurance commercials in the 2000's in the UK, for Churchill Insurance. Their mascot was a bulldog that resembled Winston Churchill and he used to say "OHHH YES" in a deep voice. I think thats what Douglas is referring to :)
Voiced by the inimitable Bob Mortimer.
Correct my dude.

He was the UK equivalent of the Geico gecko.
@@PedroConejo1939seriously it was Bob Mortimer who did the voice of Churchill the dog?? Well I never knew that?🤣
That was Graham Linehan wearing the glasses who stood up and shouted "WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!" in a panic after the internet was destroyed!
Ha ha ha.
He also did a cameo ... or two in Father Ted didnt he ... for eg ... he was one of the priests on the plane ... cant quite remember wat he said but ... hes a genius isnt he .
Yes and also his second cameo in the IT Crowd when he gives the love potion Douglas in the earlier episode.
I thought that was David Walliams
Alan offends the Irish. I'm Alan Partridge.
Came here to clear up the Churchill thing. I see it's already been comprehensively covered. (No pun intended).
No, puns are always intended, even when they're not.
I bow to you, o witty one.
The churchill comment is about Churchill Insurance company's adverts featuring a Bulldog which says "oh yes"
Voiced by the great Bob Mortimer
@@stevenprofittno way! Really? Well bugger me sideways, I never knew that 😂
@@thatsthat2612Yes, you would be surprised how many ads Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer have done over the years.
@@stevenprofitt il bet I would
The fight scene is absolutely epic. Love the way Douglas keeps jumping back up in his fighting stance like every bad guy in every Bruce Lee movie 😂😂😂
Or like a cracked out weasel
I've read the comments and I still feel a self obsessed compulsion to repeat what has already been said about Churchill for some reason.
Oh yes
Go on then. We need to know what the Churchill thing was about.
This is by far my favourite episode. The Douglas storyline in this episode is amazing
The Churchill reference is about a car insurance advertising campaign at the time for the Churchill insurance group. Their "mascot" was a nodding dog, called Churchill, who's catchphrase was "Oh yes".

It's not you it's me, no actually it's not me it is you. Best line I've always quoted it since.
George Costanza from Seinfeld used that line too. Probably a bit of a meme at the time.
I like to break up with someone, just so I can use that line. Maybe that's why I'm now single.
"It's not you, it's me. No, it's not me, IT IS you!" XD!
The fight scene was hilarious. And Moss completely refusing to trust Roy.
I honestly wouldn't mind being April's boyfriend. Even if she was from Iran.
My favorite quote from Winston Churchill is : Lady Nancy Astor: Winston, if you were my husband, I'd poison your tea.
Churchill: Nancy, if I were your husband, I'd drink it.
Disputed.
One of my favourite quotes full stop....sums the man up perfectly too 😂
My favourite episode of the IT Crowd.
The A plot is good, Douglas’s not so much
The Churchill reference was an insurance advertisement with a fake bulldog
"Fake" is a strange choice of word.
Nah it was a real dog
Lucy Montgomery is one of our best comedy actresses. Her Tom Cruise impersonation is very striking.
Did you see that hole in the wall? That was an accident! The stuntpeople got carried away. The director saw it, and loved it, and decided to keep it.
Really? I thought it might be a Terminator 2 reference.
He was talking about Churchill the dog from Churchill car insurance adverts. Not Churchill the prime minister. 😂
I love how Douglas pops back up with his hands limp haha
This episode had the Series 3 cameo of Graham Linehan who was the man who yelled "We're all going to die!". He appeared as a mariachi singer in Series 1 and the shaman who gave Douglas the "magic potion" in Series 2.
"Miranda" is a great comedy series, and Miranda Hart breaks the fourth wall!!! And its crazy funny!!!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😆😅😂
The works outing and the dinner party are peak IT crowd
lol, I've binge watched the entirety of this show many many times and this episode is BY FAR my favorite. The actress playing April (Lucy Montgomery) was AMAZING and "the internet" which by the way I know of several people that are dumb enough to believe lol, was just icing on the cake.
Every time I finish watching the IT Crowd reactions here I'm always bummed out it's over.
Followed by "OMG the next episode is this one! Can't wait!"
Churchill ( as referred to ) was a talking " nodding dog " car ornament in an insurance company advert . Just think , if you had a PO box now many boxes of internet you'd get after this . Always great to see you reacting together to these .
Best fight scene ever for sheer ridiculousness.
Lucy Montgomery (April) she's such a beautiful woman and funny too,
I loved her as the maid in 'Tittybangbang' - "Don't look at me I'm shy"
Churchill the dog ads were original voiced by Vic Reeves alongside Bob Mortimer doing a voice over.
THANK YOU for being brave enough to react to the entire episode (I never doubted you for a second! lol) Great reaction as usual!

Richard Ayoade and Chris O'Dowd also worked together on an episode of Travel Man - such a classic episode!
There was a car insurance ad with one of those toy dogs with a bopping head and he'd say "ooo yes", the company was called Churchill.
I think enough people have explained about Churchill now 😴 😂

Toast of London. Mat Berry's finest work.
this episode is now "cancelled"' in the UK - accused of transphobia. No longer available on Channel 4 (the channel that made this show).
Graham Linehan kicked himself and said later that Douglas should have said, "... You said you came from Oman." Instead of "Iran".
Probably not many Brits have even heard of Oman (in fact I just had to Google it myself), but otherwise I would agree the joke would have worked better.

Denholm is in the new Comedy drama "What we do in the shadows" about Vampires, well for a few years now..
Playing a character who's sex-mad ... a real departure for him 🙂
British Navy had limes, lemons and other available citrus. "LIMEY" comes from that!!!!🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓
I think the joke of the fight-scene is that she still has her man-strength so when they get in their lovers quarrel they're beating the shit out of each other?
This is the Churchill thing: th-cam.com/video/N_eCLJglhy4/w-d-xo.html
Yeah that’s where it’s a bit distasteful and the bonding montage where April enjoys stereotypically masculine things , I will give credit for the ending scene with Douglas though
I've been watching your reactions all this time just waiting for this episode. I'm so glad you liked it.
I know it is a near impossible task saying what the best episode is, but if I had to chose one, it would be The Work Outing. "A Gay musical called Gay. That's very gay" - "I thought it could work between us because you looked a bit like a man"
Yep, or The Dinner Party. Three-way tie.
you're not pausing too often, buddy, THIS IS WHY WE ARE HERE!!! to see and listen to your reactions!
THATS WHY IT'S A REACRION VIDEOGRAM ... oh you silly sausage.
I bet you feel silly now. HAHAHA
Another one to remind you of besides the series, "Brass Eye" and "The Day Today", is (if you haven't seen it) the spoof film, "The Death of Stalin".
No....the 'Churchill' bit, was him referring to a then very popular ad on the TV, for Car Insurance, where a comical 'nodding dog' (don't ask!) just says "Oooh, yes!" when questioned about something.....it has nothing to do with the Statesman!
The reference to Churchill saying “oh yes” refers to a car insurance advert for an insurance firm called Churchill who is a British bulldog who says “oh yes”…..not Winston Churchill
Having a Princess Boomer can be very tiring, edgy and hard. But, you love them so much, it is all good❤❤❤❤❤👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
This episode of The IT Crowd has been banned from being shown on British TV again, you can't even watch it on the channel 4 on demand anymore either.
Churchill is an insurance company here and we used to have a talking CGI dog that would say "Ohhhh yes" lol.
I think the first actor to break the fourth wall was the brilliant Groucho Marx.
