“The Work Outing” is one of the best episodes ever. It’s comedy gold, I was laughing so hard and your reaction to Season 1 was fantastic Jen. I knew this one was gonna be a blast as well.
God, I love "the work outing" so much - "Im disabled" (with the voice and everything) is a running joke in my family, and the bit where Jen turns around and sees Moss as a bartender is one of my favorite jokes in anything ever.
Jen, I have never seen a reactor laugh so much as you did during the work outing scene. ------- I've never gotten so much joy from a YT video ever. Thanks so much
49:30 Moss appearing on the wrong TV show is a reference to a hilarious 2006 event when BBC News interviewed the wrong person live on air about an ongoing Apple legal case. The man, who could hardly speak English, had told them: "I'm here for the IT interview" -- but meaning the job interview he'd come for. They pushed him into the studio and in front of the cameras. The man, Guy Coma, shared the same first name as the Internet legal expert who turned up late.
"The work outing" is one of the best episodes of comedy I've ever seen - pretty much brilliant from start to finish and of course with the IT-crowd specialty - plant a small joke in the beginning, bring it back for a big laugh in the end 😄
@@jenmurrayxo I think maybe I've reached that point where I'm too old to understand this world anymore. That TH-cam rule makes no sense to me. Perhaps I should be put out to pasture. So to speak.
@@jenmurrayxo Yeah, I know their reasoning, I just strongly disagree with it. But I won't get into it here, because I'm going back to enjoying your reaction!
The finale of "The Work Outing" is some of the best comedy writing I've ever seen. It's just five minutes of straight punchlines and callbacks. Absolutely phenomenal. And then to go from that straight into the introduction of Matt Berry's character in the next episode... Absolutely stunning to me that this show isn't more popular
I love how season two Immediately goes off the rails in the first episode. "I'M DIASABLED!..... LEG DISABLED." My coworker and I would see each other in the hall and just quote it all the time LOL!! My favorite episode.
I love it how this is making you crack up! ... I recommend "Coupling" from about 20+ years ago, if you like British comedy. It is a comedic compass to female-male relationships 😀
The really, really weird thing about 'Moss and the German' is that it's based on something that actually happened (the audience back in 2007 would have recognised its origin).
Yeah, a German cannibal reached out to find anyone willing to let him unalive and then eat them after. Someone did come forward. The events happened, and they even recorded a video of the whole event.
Just a little something to show my support Jen. Congrats again on 1.5k in the chat for the premiere, that’s amazing you deserve it for all the hard work you do to entertain us and this was one of your best reactions ever.
It's Friday night, I sit down to relax, oh look, a new video! 10 minutes in, and Jen is laughing hysterically at a guy in a wheelchair. I feel like this bodes well for the weekend!
You have no idea how much this made my day ❤️ Also great editing keeping a lot of the important bits while cutting out some filler. Great job on that! 👍🏻)
I loved your reaction to these, Jen, I've just rewatched them all again from the beginning as I missed the start. I hope that you react to more of it and do the other seasons.
These I.T. Crowd reactions have been such a joy to watch! Can't wait for season 3! My big recommendation for other British comedy shows to watch are Black Books (my absolute favourite) and No Heroics
Denham's death; Anyone who is old enough will be reminded of Robert Maxwell, who "accidentally" drowned from his private yacht under the same "pension fund" cloud.
And his daughter was epistiens girlfriend gislane Maxwell. I've got 2 questions what happened to the pension money and what happened to all the evidence of the rich, famous and powerful who went to the ISLAND gislane went to jail and the FBI misplaced the evidence and everybody else forgot
There was also a prominent German politician who died skydiving, minutes after getting a call that police was raiding his office because of a bribery scandal. This actually happens.
The actress who plays Laura Knightly in, The Work Outing, episode is Lydia Fox, Richard Ayoade (Moss') wife. Also the bald gay guy with the 'tache' who flirts with Roy at the end of the same episode, is Ash Attalla, the series producer. Also, also, the mystic who Douglas buys the rohypnol from in the beginning of the last episode is Graham Linehan, who wrote this, Father Ted and Black Books.
Yeah, the Work Outing is my favorite episode. Never heard Jen laugh so hard, it was so enjoyable to hear her laugh like that. Love this show. Love her reactions. Well done again!
The montage gag (59:10) with Douglas losing his hand was an homage to Roman Holiday (1953) with Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn. The crew reproduced a Roman sculpture called the Mouth of Truth. And the interaction between Moss and the trainwreck blonde (40:53) recalls Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966) with Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton playing a couple in a passionate feud. They were a real-life couple who married and divorced each other twice.
This episode is my favorite of the series. That's saying a lot because I'm a big fan of this series. This day my wife and I do the voice and the I'm disabled and we always laugh. Also when the camera turns on Moss and he's tending bar I thought I was gonna pee myself. Terrific episode thank you for doing these I enjoyed watching it with you.
I actually saw Kathleen Parkinson in the theatre. She was starring in Much Ado About Nothing at the National Theatre, in 2022. A brilliant performance, lots of physical comedy and a lot of Jen! You can find clips on TH-cam.
I was there at Pinewood Studios for the shocking moment Denholm died! I cannot begin to tell you how nervous Matt Berry was on that night, fluffing lines etc but he turns into an incredible character going forward. The phone vibration scene was also something that had numerous takes as no one could keep a straight face!! 😂😂
The German Cannibal episode was based on a real event where Armin Meiwes killed and ate Bernd-Jürgen Armando Brandes, who answered an online advertisement Meiwes posted stating that he was "looking for a well-built 18- to 25-year-old to be slaughtered and then consumed."
Denholm's rather... swift exit is one of the most underrated jokes in television. And then we get Matt Berry. And I love Matt Berry. I can't believe I totally forgot about Moss and the German. 😂
Matt Berry is exactly the missing piece in the season. His energy just blends perfectly with the rest of the cast. And yes, the "matter of fact" manner in which he knows what he must do makes his last gag so much funnier on top of the perfect comedic timing.
Season 2 of The IT Crowd is one of the funniest comedies I have ever watched in particular episode 1 is comedy genius. Jen's reaction to this series is up there with her best. Keep on laughing Jen 👍
That was so hilarious and such a fab reaction! 😂😂😂 That's a beautiful summer top you're wearing well. This show is so very re-watchable and quotable. Theme tune is awesome, it's like an intro to a Gary Numan classic. Roll on Series 3, please. 💜🥳🎉
Matt Berry who plays Douglas Reynholm is fabulous in the TV mockumentary What We Do In The Shadows which is a show about really rubbish vampires. Also The Green Wing a TV show about a nutty hospital is incredible fun.
32:38 he is a well known musician and performs with symphonies. So when he is playing, he is legitimately playing the instrument. Those crowd cheers you hear at the end are real.
I think when Roy is in church screaming for a “frigging ambulance “ is one of my fave moments. All of season 2 and then season 4 are my faves. Thanks Jen!
I'm really enjoying this format of reaction videos. 1 video for a whole season works well for a show like this with only a few 30 minute(?) episodes. Also Matt Berry is great in what we do in the shadows tv show.
@@e.d.2096 Sorry about that, I do Hate to Miss a Premiere with Friends.💔I'd fallen asleep about 2 hours before, had my alarm set to wake me up😠BUT I'd set it for the wrong time!🤷♂Just My Dumb-Luck, huh...
The sorcerer in Men without Women is Graham Linehan the creator and writer of the show. That was his cameo for series 2. He makes one cameo per series.
The guy who put an ad in a paper to eat a person is based on a real guy who did it named Armin Meiwes. He was German, and did find a volunteer (Bernd Brandes) who agreed as long as he could eat a part of himself first. They both dined on Bernd's severed man part before Armin ended Bernd and ate portions of him. Rammstein made a song about it called "Mein Teil".
Also the "consensual cannibal" was based on a real person named Armin Miewes. I do a comedy/history podcast and we did a segment on him awhile back; it's a really wild story, definitely worth a read
"Did someone else die?" Had me in stiches😂 The "Son" is Great in "Garth Mirengi's Dark Place". Speaking of original hiests Please check out the original "Italian Job"👍
In Germany we have the word "fremdschämen", which means to feel embarrassed by somebodys else behaviour -- and it feels quite uncomfartable. The episode "The Work Outing" is like some kind of aversion therapy for that ...
This show is so hard to get people to watch but it is unexpectedly brilliant and hilarious. Not a second of time is wasted in this show-- every 5 seconds of screen-time has some purpose you can gleam from it. It reminds me of trying to get my friends to try and play Harvest Moon 64. It was such a great game. "Okay guys you gotta try this game!" "What's it about" "uhh.. well, you run a farm and-" "Ahh and you get attacked by aliens and have guns and stuff?" "...no, you grow crops. but you also have animals! like cows and chickens. You brush them and talk to them every day and they like you!" "and... they... fight for you, or?" "No, no, no. you can get milk from cows and eggs from chickens and then sell them. Eventually you'll have money to get better tools so you can farm faster and..." "okay but what else can you do?? it can't just be farming?" "No, of course not. You can romance the local girls and you can forage for berries, and upgrade your house so you can cook some great food, and fishing! There's a lot to be said about fishin why are you running away from me?!" harvest moon related story: I first rented it at blockbuster video and it had a save file at day 1 so I just assumed this was the default and played on. I did everything a normal and went to the village and bought every upgrade I could and bought everything I felt like and as many seeds as possible and went about my business making the best farm that was impossible. I had to return it to the store unfortunately and then a week later when I could convince my mudder to let me rent it again, It unfortunately wasn't the same cartridge, so I restarted... and... it turns out some legend had created a fresh save at day 1 and just loaded a gameshark and cheated infinite coins (or 999,999 or whatever) into the account and nothing else.. and then saved and quit so the next guy would have basically infinite gold in his playthrough. I had no idea. It wasn't until I got the game for christmas one year and played for months that I got back to the point that I got in that one week and was able to actually "finish" the game. (everyone gives up at like year 10 lol, and I got ocarina of time and majoras mask after that...)
27:50 There was an 80s kids TV show in the UK called "Emu's All Live Pink Windmill Show", hosted by Rod Hull & his puppet Emu. Whenever anyone knocked on the door they'd do that dance & exclaim "There's somebody at the door! There's somebody at the door!"
One of my favorite shows.... I don't know how many times I've binged this series Loving your reactions Jen. I can't tell you my fav episode....yet. it's in the later seasons 😎
a token of my appreciation for giving me so many laughs this week Jen and all the hard work you put in everyday , even when you're not working you're working and it never goes unnoticed 🔥🥂 really hope you continue with this hilarious show you have a great time we have a great time 🙌
49:15 - MISTAKEN IDENTITY ON LIVE TV - On 8 May 2006, BBC News 24 was supposed to interview technology journalist Guy Kewney about the Apple Corps v Apple Computer legal dispute. By mistake, on live TV, BBC News let journalist Karen Bowerman interview Guy Goma, a business studies graduate, who’d come to the BBC to interview for a job in the IT Dept.
This group of kids is the era of my younger brother. I was busy in college and didn't really focus too much on the culture then; being not too much different than the 70s but I enjoy catching this series for the 1st time with you, seeing how you react to the culture, enjoying the music. I believe in interviews the showrunners, the Duffer Brothers, have said they wanted to bring the magic of that time back into people's minds and it was a hit for that as much as for the story line. I do enjoy how you and Ash love movies from that era too. He's a lucky man. Great reaction Hannah!
Jem. I know you love your beers (you are such a beast for knocking back 3 brewers during your reaction. ------ BTW small pineapple chicks on Pizza is really great. The combo of sweet and salty rocks everytime.
The episode about the german putting an ad to find someone to eat... is actually based on a real case in germany where a cannibal put an ad in the newspaper to have someone to eat... and someone was okay with it... I think it went to court but i dont know the decision... but if you agree that someone eats a part of your body, why not lol
Just to let you know In January 2004, Meiwes was convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to eight years and six months in prison. In a retrial in May 2006, he was convicted of murder and sentenced to „life imprisonment“ (a usual „life sentence“ in Germany is only between 15 to 20 years (in some extreme cases even (but extremely unlikely) up to 25 years, not any longer) except if the psychological analysis comes to the conclusion that the offender will be always a danger to society and is never able to be properly rehabilitated/resocialised, the judge can impose the „Life imprisonment“ sentence, which means that the convict even after passing the 25 years maximum punishment in Germany, will still remain in prison for the rest of his natural life, but with more privileges as a usual convict (like a larger single person cell/room, the possibility to redecorate the room with personalized furniture, not the standard dormitory style furniture of the usual cells and the privilege to buy/order certain electronic and „luxury“ items (like a bigger tv or videogame console) from his own money/savings, normal prisoners aren’t allowed to have) Which means Armin Meiwes (63 years old) also known by the German public as „der Kannibale von Rotenburg“ [the Cannibal of Rotenburg], is still imprisoned fulfilling his regular 25 years sentence and will be never released except rolling out lying on a metal flatbed feet first.
I really love the IT crowd.. it sort of resonates with me.. I would have loved to be working in this kind of environment. The setup and jokes were just chef's kiss
“The work outing” might just be the best comedic tv episode ever written and acted in television history! It’s so well done I watch this episode once or twice every year! Easiest answer to the question: What do you think is the single best single episode of all time from any comedy tv show!❤🎉❤

I think The Work Outing may be the best episode of The IT Crowd ever. Its perfect.
If i was teaching a TV writing class The Work Outing would be a required watch. It is a master class is tight comedy writing.
It kinda ties for me with the Countdown episode, I'm a sucker for secret societies of mundane things
season 2 hits a lot in general though
Agreed, its my fave episode
I think Work Outing is my favourite episode. But it's so hard to choose!
The Work Outin is one of my two favorite comedy episodes in all of British television, the other being Fawlty Towers: The Germans.
Should I react to Season 3?
SEASON 1 IT CROWD: th-cam.com/play/PLQHhQlj8i5drV1Iau2HeUnhy6p1_VCOtM.html
Yes, by all means, please continue!
The biggest yes i could ever give definitely do season 3 your it crowd reactions are phenomenal
I think you already know the answer to your question Jen, of course YES! 😊
You've always got My Vote of Support😇especially when it's This-Much FUN!👍
Yes Yes Yes! :)
“People, what a bunch of bastards” that is my spirit quote 😂
Put it on my tombstone, lol
Or you could put it on a t-shirt and make a fortune
I got it made many years ago and I still wear it all the time :D
Hell is other people - Jean-Paul Sartre.
"People, they're the worst!" Jerry Seinfeld.
The sudden moment where Jen turns to see Moss behind the bar & taking her order is the funniest scene in TV history
That got a big laugh out of me!
I thought I was having a heart attack I was laughing so hard.
It's her "nothing surprises me anymore" face that kills me.
First time we watched it we had to rewind because half of us were on the floor and the others were gasping for air
A full season reaction in 1 video? No 45 minute introduction with your childhood backstory? Commentary that goes with the show rather than over it? No long pauses? This is a reaction channel I can get behind, great vid!
“The Work Outing” is one of the best episodes ever. It’s comedy gold, I was laughing so hard and your reaction to Season 1 was fantastic Jen. I knew this one was gonna be a blast as well.
My friends and I use "act normal. MORE normal"
All the time
God, I love "the work outing" so much - "Im disabled" (with the voice and everything) is a running joke in my family, and the bit where Jen turns around and sees Moss as a bartender is one of my favorite jokes in anything ever.
moss's beady eyes when tv-Jen sees him crack me up
the way that Richard plays that part cracks me up, his voice and mannerisms are so perfect
Jen, I have never seen a reactor laugh so much as you did during the work outing scene. ------- I've never gotten so much joy from a YT video ever. Thanks so much
So glad you enjoyed ☺️👍

Thanks for this one Jen, really made my day. Yes please to Series 3. It only gets better x
That was so hilarious and such a fab reaction! 😂😂😂 That's a beautiful summer top you're wearing well.

Matt Berry who plays Douglas Reynholm is fabulous in the TV mockumentary What We Do In The Shadows which is a show about really rubbish vampires.
Also The Green Wing a TV show about a nutty hospital is incredible fun.
Richmond hiding on the ceiling from Jen is too funny. I laughed so hard at that moment. 35:20
Fantastic! Was looking forward to season 2 with you Jen. Ok, finish work, get beers and watch IT Crowd with Jen. Cheers!
32:38 he is a well known musician and performs with symphonies. So when he is playing, he is legitimately playing the instrument. Those crowd cheers you hear at the end are real.
Loving revisiting this.
Yes, more British comedy please. Coupling is a must.
I think when Roy is in church screaming for a “frigging ambulance “ is one of my fave moments. All of season 2 and then season 4 are my faves. Thanks Jen!
You can see when Jen just wants to have a fun good time.
Gawd i love Matt Berry. Jen needs to add Garth Marenghi's Dark Place to the watch list after this
The Boss’s son is played by Matt Berry. He’s also great in the TV show What We Do In The Shadows.
You might like Mighty Boosh if you like this. Maybe even "what we do in the shadows"
55:42 "Tramps" - US translation "hobos". Both rather antiquated words open to bending.
I'm not native in English and the only reason I know what the world "tramp" means is because of the famous Charlie Chaplin character.
I'm really enjoying this format of reaction videos. 1 video for a whole season works well for a show like this with only a few 30 minute(?) episodes.
Also Matt Berry is great in what we do in the shadows tv show.

@@garycameron8167He tried turning his victim off then on again 😂
I use the gif of Denholm walking out the window way more often than is good for one's mental health
Also the "consensual cannibal" was based on a real person named Armin Miewes. I do a comedy/history podcast and we did a segment on him awhile back; it's a really wild story, definitely worth a read
Exactly what I think about whenever I'm somewhere high up
I've been ill so I've watched Jen's reaction to this 3 times... so far
"Did someone else die?" Had me in stiches😂 The "Son" is Great in "Garth Mirengi's Dark Place".
Speaking of original hiests Please check out the original "Italian Job"👍
In Germany we have the word "fremdschämen", which means to feel embarrassed by somebodys else behaviour -- and it feels quite uncomfartable. The episode "The Work Outing" is like some kind of aversion therapy for that ...
This show is so hard to get people to watch but it is unexpectedly brilliant and hilarious. Not a second of time is wasted in this show-- every 5 seconds of screen-time has some purpose you can gleam from it.
It reminds me of trying to get my friends to try and play Harvest Moon 64. It was such a great game. "Okay guys you gotta try this game!" "What's it about" "uhh.. well, you run a farm and-" "Ahh and you get attacked by aliens and have guns and stuff?" "...no, you grow crops. but you also have animals! like cows and chickens. You brush them and talk to them every day and they like you!" "and... they... fight for you, or?" "No, no, no. you can get milk from cows and eggs from chickens and then sell them. Eventually you'll have money to get better tools so you can farm faster and..." "okay but what else can you do?? it can't just be farming?" "No, of course not. You can romance the local girls and you can forage for berries, and upgrade your house so you can cook some great food, and fishing! There's a lot to be said about fishin why are you running away from me?!"
harvest moon related story: I first rented it at blockbuster video and it had a save file at day 1 so I just assumed this was the default and played on. I did everything a normal and went to the village and bought every upgrade I could and bought everything I felt like and as many seeds as possible and went about my business making the best farm that was impossible. I had to return it to the store unfortunately and then a week later when I could convince my mudder to let me rent it again, It unfortunately wasn't the same cartridge, so I restarted... and... it turns out some legend had created a fresh save at day 1 and just loaded a gameshark and cheated infinite coins (or 999,999 or whatever) into the account and nothing else.. and then saved and quit so the next guy would have basically infinite gold in his playthrough. I had no idea. It wasn't until I got the game for christmas one year and played for months that I got back to the point that I got in that one week and was able to actually "finish" the game. (everyone gives up at like year 10 lol, and I got ocarina of time and majoras mask after that...)
You need to see Matt Berry in What We Do in the Shadows.
Bat! 🦇
Seconded.
A night watching IT crowd with Jen, dreams do come true
27:50 There was an 80s kids TV show in the UK called "Emu's All Live Pink Windmill Show", hosted by Rod Hull & his puppet Emu. Whenever anyone knocked on the door they'd do that dance & exclaim "There's somebody at the door! There's somebody at the door!"
One of my favorite shows.... I don't know how many times I've binged this series
Loving your reactions Jen.
I can't tell you my fav episode....yet. it's in the later seasons 😎
I was waiting for this, I laughed all the way through this. Brilliant episodes and introducing Reynholm the 2nd...FARTHER!!! thanks Jen 😂🤣
I'm Leg Disabled!
omg I laughed so hard the first time I saw that episode.
Yes! I've been looking forward to you reacting to season 2! 🙌
As a smoker, the smoking gulag is truth. The German is about Armin Weiwes who did have someone over for dinner.
But forgot to go shopping 😂
Moss and the German is probably one of my favorite episodes of any show.
a token of my appreciation for giving me so many laughs this week Jen and all the hard work you put in everyday , even when you're not working you're working and it never goes unnoticed 🔥🥂 really hope you continue with this hilarious show you have a great time we have a great time 🙌
Nice, Ian!
Thank you Ian and thanks for everything you do for the channel :)
There's somebody at the door! There's somebody at the door! There's somebody at the door!
49:15 - MISTAKEN IDENTITY ON LIVE TV - On 8 May 2006, BBC News 24 was supposed to interview technology journalist Guy Kewney about the Apple Corps v Apple Computer legal dispute. By mistake, on live TV, BBC News let journalist Karen Bowerman interview Guy Goma, a business studies graduate, who’d come to the BBC to interview for a job in the IT Dept.
I always hoped he'd gotten the job afterwards
@@tigerbread78 Yeah, that WOULD have been a happy ending.
This group of kids is the era of my younger brother. I was busy in college and didn't really focus too much on the culture then; being not too much different than the 70s but I enjoy catching this series for the 1st time with you, seeing how you react to the culture, enjoying the music. I believe in interviews the showrunners, the Duffer Brothers, have said they wanted to bring the magic of that time back into people's minds and it was a hit for that as much as for the story line. I do enjoy how you and Ash love movies from that era too. He's a lucky man. Great reaction Hannah!
Good Afternoon, Jen💜I think We've-All been waiting for this one😅I'm Ready to Download Your Most-Hysterical Laughter yet!👍
This first episode is gold. The set up and execution of the intertwining plots is genius.
Jem. I know you love your beers (you are such a beast for knocking back 3 brewers during your reaction. ------ BTW small pineapple chicks on Pizza is really great. The combo of sweet and salty rocks everytime.
The episode about the german putting an ad to find someone to eat... is actually based on a real case in germany where a cannibal put an ad in the newspaper to have someone to eat... and someone was okay with it... I think it went to court but i dont know the decision... but if you agree that someone eats a part of your body, why not lol
He loved Willy's willy. 🍆
Just to let you know
In January 2004, Meiwes was convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to eight years and six months in prison.
In a retrial in May 2006, he was convicted of murder and sentenced to „life imprisonment“ (a usual „life sentence“ in Germany is only between 15 to 20 years (in some extreme cases even (but extremely unlikely) up to 25 years, not any longer) except if the psychological analysis comes to the conclusion that the offender will be always a danger to society and is never able to be properly rehabilitated/resocialised, the judge can impose the „Life imprisonment“ sentence, which means that the convict even after passing the 25 years maximum punishment in Germany, will still remain in prison for the rest of his natural life, but with more privileges as a usual convict (like a larger single person cell/room, the possibility to redecorate the room with personalized furniture, not the standard dormitory style furniture of the usual cells and the privilege to buy/order certain electronic and „luxury“ items (like a bigger tv or videogame console) from his own money/savings, normal prisoners aren’t allowed to have)
Which means Armin Meiwes (63 years old) also known by the German public as „der Kannibale von Rotenburg“ [the Cannibal of Rotenburg], is still imprisoned fulfilling his regular 25 years sentence and will be never released except rolling out lying on a metal flatbed feet first.
I never knew where the guy jumping out window meme came from before I saw this.
Watch the show "Toast of London" with Matt Berry. Oh and of course "Garth Marenghi's Darkplace".
I really love the IT crowd.. it sort of resonates with me.. I would have loved to be working in this kind of environment. The setup and jokes were just chef's kiss
“The work outing” might just be the best comedic tv episode ever written and acted in television history! It’s so well done I watch this episode once or twice every year! Easiest answer to the question: What do you think is the single best single episode of all time from any comedy tv show!❤🎉❤
Your laugh is awesome and contagious!!
Before the IT Crowd, Richard Ayoade and Matt Berry did Garth Marenghi's Darkplace. It's a brilliant take on low budget horror shows.
