Wasn't the joke with JFK that he should have said, "Ich bin Berliner", because the "ein" is unnecessary for demonyms in German, but a Berliner is also a kind of donut, so when JFK said that, he was sort of saying "I am a donut"?

We knew of the internet in 1993, not because of bloody school, but because a mate was online arguing with yanks in a message forum. I was bored by it and thought it would never amount to much.

The boss, Matt berry, has been my celebrity crush since mighty boosh (like 2008). I moved to London for a few years around 2015, and was working at a restaurant in the soho area. One day I saw him walking across the street from my work, and he stopped in this power stance, dramatically pointed at some guy he was apparently meeting, and loudly, in a total Douglas voice said “You there!” I started laughing my ass off and ran from the table I was serving to grab my phone and get a photo of him. Only got his side/back from across the street, but still… it was such a cool moment for me.

The phrase "Tramps like us" is from the Bruce Springsteen song, "Born to Run". And a tramp is one of several slang terms for a homeless person, who sometimes would 'tramp around the country' by railroad, especially back in the middle of the 20th century.

'Ich bin ein Nerd' is a play on the phrase 'Ich bin ein Berliner' - translated 'I am a Nerd/Berliner'- which was in a famous kennedy speech made in Berlin during the cold war.

Matt Berry in “what we do in the shadows” is fantastic. He’s such a great actor.

For some reason I never got around to watching IT Crowd but watching it with you guys doubles the hilarity. Your channel rocks!!

Here in New Zealand a tramp is a bush walk mostly. Although these day's you'd say hike instead. But we're familiar with all three meanings. So if someone said "that tramp went tramping with an old tramp" we'd know some slapper went hiking in the bush with an old homeless guy.

Yes it can mean both but mostly here it means a homeless person. Also please check out Garth Marenghi's Dark Place. 😬

Matt Berry is a comedy genius. He's great in Toast of London & Snuff Box.

Before this video it must have been over a decade since i last saw this episode, but... "god damn these electric sex pants" and the "fuck off" scene is embedded in my memory forever.

“Tramps like us” is a line from “Born to Run” by Bruce Springsteen. “Tramps like us, baby we were born to run!”

WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS (TV Series) - Matt Berry is sublime!

Totally off subject, but have you ever heard of "Zapped" ? It stars James Buckley as an office temp who is magically transported to a strange, fantastic land of wizards and warriors, wooded taverns and crazy warlocks. A sitcom in middle Earth, policed by fairies. ******Edit ***** Inside No.9 - from the makers of "The league of Gentlemen"

22:22 - "Ich bin ein nerd!" is a play on the words of JFK, your ex-president, as he greeted the crowds at the Berlin Wall in the 60's, in what was then West Germany, where he said "Ich bin ein Berliner!" meaning "I am a Berliner"....though apparently, as a Berliner is a type of doughnut, he was also saying "I am a doughnut".

They make sure the internal systems have a gateway to the internet where appropriate, but the internet service provider is the one responsible for supplying an internet connection to the building for the IT department to connect everyone to.

1:28 Tramp. 1. A homeless alcoholic. 2. An unemployed, homeless person who is kept moving for place to place by the authorities. See "Down and out in paris and London" George Orwell.

For anyone interested, IT stands for Information Technology, it's a wide field that has everything to do with building, maintaining, and deploying applications, websites, and other software. Software Engineering, DevOps, Web Development, and Data Science are some of the professional fields that come under IT.

You need to react to "gareth marengy's dark places" its a spoof sci fi with Douglas and Moss (the actors i mean) from IT CROWD.

If you like the actor who plays Douglas Dernholm, you definitely have to watch the comedy series about vampires who share a house "What We Do in the Shadows." His role is equally great.

Who had some problematic images on his computer. 10-month sentence, suspended for 15 months after court in 22.

Douglas and Moss (the actors I mean) are also both in a show called "Garth Marenghi's Dark Place". It's a parody of an 80's horror hospital drama written by an awful horror author that is deliberately made to be absurd and ultra crappy mixed with a mockumentary on the production of the show. If you like the stupid humor I think you'd enjoy it. It really is absurd.

15:50 IT also stands for Itchy Testicles, but don't get those mixed up. I made that mistake once, I was rubbing a DVD drive on my testicles 3 times a day for over a week, and they were still itchy. The cream from the chemist did the trick though, and I no longer have itchy testicles, however, my DVD drive isn't working now. Maybe squirting itchy testicle cream in it wasn't such a good idea after all? 🤔

Quid a £1. From latin " Quid Pro Quo." Basically "you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours." Ian Dee.

Charlie Chaplin's character was always called the 'Tramp'. As his movies were in Hollywood I assume it was once a recognised word in the US. I assume it's from the verb 'to tramp' meaning walk heavily. Hence the joke, I went for a tramp in the woods but he got away.

Roy has every right to fight the tea lady for his jacket!

Kennedy's remark to a German audience played to them as "I am a doughnut!"

I'd highly recommend watching Derry Girls after finishing The IT Crowd. Really funny and emotional with a great main cast and supporting cast. Sister Michael is one of the best comedy characters of the 21st century.

There are a few shows out there that star Matt Berry (Douglas). Take a look at Snuff Box, Garth Marenghi's Dark Place, Toast, or AD/BC A Rock Opera and The Mighty Boosh. There are also a few records out there that he has released. He's a genius

There's a Bruce Springsteen song called "Born to Run." "Tramps like us" is a lyric in it.

when you guys was having your computer troubles, me thinking: have you tried turning it off and on again? :D

22:22 Ich bin ein is German for ''I am a'' and then Jen adds nerd at the end.

The nerd quote is in reference to "Ich bin ein Berliner" a speech by United States President John F. Kennedy given on June 26, 1963, in West Berlin. Twenty-two months earlier, East Germany had erected the Berlin Wall to prevent mass emigration to West Berlin. The speech was aimed as much at the Soviet Union as it was at West Berliners. The famous phrases are "I am a Berliner" and "I am proud to be in Berlin" It is one of the best-known speeches of the Cold War and among the most famous anti-communist speeches, it was a powerful statement to the West Berliners now surrounded by the wall and Khruschev and the Soviets that the US would not abandon the West Berliners. Jen will not abandon the nerds, they need her - look at what happens when she leaves for one afternoon!

All that could’ve been avoided if Roy had just simply rinsed his coffee-stained T-shirt in the sink in one of the men’s toilets and then put it back on. 😂

You two are brilliant 🤣 thanks for the giggles. IT Crowd is an amazing show

5:23 a priest here in Brazil attempted the same thing in 2008 (15 years ago). It ended up just as well for him as it did for Freddy..

Katherine Parkinson (Jen) was also in a comedy series called The Kennedys, which was based on the autobiography of comedienne Emma Kennedy. Definitely worth watching if you can. Note: Graham Linehan wanted Matt Berry (Douglas Reynholm) from the beginning but he had other commitments, so Chris Morris took the role of Denholm Reynholm for the first seven episodes.

What is "ich bin ein Nerd?" Dear oh dear. A very famous reference from modern American history. They handed that to you on a plate...and you smashed it.

At my old school in the UK 🇬🇧 it used to be called ict, standing for Internet communication technology. But was shorted in the early 2000's to it, Internet technology.

The reason why IT stands for Information Technology is because it's an umbrella term referring to all internet capable technology, and it doesn't refer to a specific profession. Though IT is commonly used to refer to repairmen or software experts.
