Funny IT video
If any of you have ever worked in IT for any computer company, and have not yet already heard of this site, you will love it! It's hilarious! And it has Fedora Linux in it, too!

Man this is actually amazing. I rang the guy in IT yesterday and told him I was Todd from accounting and that the server was down. The guy absolutely cracked up laughing.

Skittle, I usually find that about 9 out of 10 videos that users say are very funny really aren't, but that one really was!

Have any of you guys ever seen the IT Crowd? It's a comedy about two geeks and their non-IT manager. It's pretty funny and it's written by the same guys who wrote Father Ted and Big Train (if you've ever seen either).
This is a bad place to start without context, but I hope you guys like this. The guys are setting up their boss Jen for a fail because she hasn't a clue about IT and has to make a speech to the main shareholders:

The IT Crowd is perhaps the best comedy on TV at the moment. The episode where they go to the theatre is the funniest thing I have ever seen!

Haha I love it. Matt Berry was a great addition to the cast last season. The recent episode where he found his father's pistol in his desk had me laughing out loud. You know something is funny when you're on your own and you are laughing that loud.

Yeah. Inspired casting and inspired writing.
The moment for me is in the clip I posted. When Jen turns around and Moss is behind the bar. Truly laugh out loud on your own funny!If we hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate! (Zapp Brannigan)

Brilliantness. Pure utter genius, the IT Crowd is.
We need more famousness. We need a comedy series, where Linux is the cool guy.
Brilliant vid.

My sister actually met Graham Linehan and Arthur Matthews in Dublin one night. She said they were both really nice and they had a few drinks with them, even getting photos and sharing jokes. I loved Father Ted and Big Train and I love the IT Crowd now. I think I better go check out Black Books properly too.
