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 :)

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)

"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.

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.

He was talking about Churchill the dog from Churchill car insurance adverts. Not Churchill the prime minister. 😂

Churchill the dog ads were original voiced by Vic Reeves alongside Bob Mortimer doing a voice over.

Lucy Montgomery is one of our best comedy actresses. Her Tom Cruise impersonation is very striking.

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!"

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.

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 .

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..

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.

Best fight scene ever for sheer ridiculousness.

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 😂

This was the start of Graham Linehan's fall from grace as the hottest comedy writer at the time. He was accused of being transphobic, partly because of the violence and that April was left unconscious on the floor at the end. Even though April was the one who threw the fist punch and went toe-to-toe against Douglas. Linehan did make his views known regarding trans people on social media, which annoyed some people. At the end of the day it's a comedy show. The ridiculous, over the top, nature of the fight scene is completely what you expect from the pen of Linehan and the I.T crowd.

I went to school with a kid who if you were at traffic lights together and you pushed the button, he'd press it after you, every time. We eventually started pressing it again after him and he'd need to press it once more. After a few of these encounters there came a day where we got the final press before the lights changed and he yelled, stomped, cried and ran home. After that he didn't seem to care who pressed it. It was as though he finally had to accept that the world doesn't always need your input on everything and that doing nothing will lead to the exact result you want if the required action has already been taken by somebody before you. He was about 7 or 8 at the time. Now, let's read the 1000th explanation of the Churchill dog from people old enough to have nostalgia for The IT Crowd.

It's a good anecdote, although I don't think it applies in this situation. It's impossible to King Boomer to read every comment on the channel, so you can never know if one comment will be read by them. In fact, it'll probably dissappear in the hundreds of other comments, unless there's a good bunch of people saying the same fact, what would make it have more chances to be read. So, in this case, you have to press the button as many times as you can if you want to get the response you want. And they even talk about that in this video: they wouldn't have watched The IT Crowd if there weren't a whole group of "people old enough with nostalgia" to insist on it. ;)

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”.
