IT People Suck at Soccer. FACT.



Since I know I'm not alone in my love of The Office I thought I'd hip you to a similar show out of the UK called The IT Crowd. It's about a group of socially inept IT workers at some British company or other, and if you're into the uncomfortable laughs that The Office trades in you might be down with this.

I keep hearing that the show is coming to America as a mid-season addition, then I've also heard that the plans have been scrapped. Either way, if you can get past the canned laugh tracks (and if you like British humor) the show is really funny.

The most illicit site on the web, TVLinks.co.uk, has every episode available for streaming if you fancy taking a crack at it. Hopefully you are better at using the Internet than these 2 are at footie.

Obviously. And actually this show is more like the UK one than the US one. Truth be told this show is a little more "slapstick" as well, but fun.

Its kind of the poor man's The Office. I gots mad love for Richard Ayoade. He went to Cambridge with John "I'm a soccer fan first, person second" Oliver.

Season one of IT Crowd is one of the best shows ever. Moss freakin RULES. Oh...and BTW...the US Office SUCKS compared to the UK Office. Ricky Gervais is brilliant.
