I skipped over this a long time, but finally gave it a chance. The episode when they go to the gay play called “gay” is hilarious. Richard Ayoade and Matt Berry are great.

I was late to the party and only watched it last year when I found it on Netflix. Fantastic.

A co-worker told me about it in 2012. I finally got around to watching on Netflix a few years ago.

Felt like it went off the rails a bit when Richmond and the boss's son appeared, but I enjoyed it.

I still laugh thinking about Messijo's restaurant.

It’s actual Gay: A Gay Musical.

One of my all-time favorites. It's got huge re-watchability.

One of the best comedies ever.

Sometimes the BBC's limits on show runs works out super well.

Be sure to watch the reunion episode they made several years later.

If you have prime, check out Travel Man. Richard Ayoade’s travel show. He has an episode with Chris and Noel from IT Crowd. Best episodes. clearly friends outside the show too.

Without sounding too much like a hipster, I saw it during its original run and it's ruined a ton of comedy series for me since rarely does anything else measure up. Funny without being crude or overly vulgar.

I don't want to say reboot it but another season or two would be great.

From the first scene with the dude hopping out the window...ridiculously hilarious.

One of my favorites, and I have seen it countless times.

The Haunting of Bill is one of the funniest episodes of television. So is the Gay! A Gay Musical! one. It’s one of the few I’d put up with Faulty Towers (almost)

Incredible show. Richmond is one of my favorite characters in anything ever. The episode where they are all invited to the dinner party at Jen's place is one of the pinnacles of human cultural achievement.

They tried to make an American version. They got the original actor for Maurice Moss, had Joel McHale in the Roy role, and a bunch of other actors. It was almost a literal copy of the first episode of the original.

It was fricking terrible. Denham (the boss) wasn't an idiot, which I guess the writers didn't realize is the only reason people found the stuff he did amusing. The jokes landed poorly and it was just... bad.

I don’t know soccer but I always say this when I see it on. And “Did you catch the ludicrous display last night?”
