I didn't like the bits he was in in the previous series and the first couple of this one, but the last two episodes has had me laughing out loud at him. Electric Pants and from Iran!
Last nights episode was the best for ages. The character April was lovely even if she was from Iran*
I thought it was slow, and largely laugh free. It felt like a filler episode to me. And the "I used to be a man"/"I used to live in Iran" misunderstanding was lame, couldn't they come up with a better misunderstanding than "I used to live in Iran"?. How about if she'd been reluctant to reveal her secret, and then reluctantly said "I used to be a man. There, I've said it". And he misheard her as "I used to be Amanda. I've said it", and he thinks she's just changed her name for some reason, maybe because as a girl she hated being called Amanda, and prefered April.
And as for the actress being attractive, I personally don't think so (though she probably wouldn't fancy me either, so I don't think she'd care!). I think she was in Titty Titty Bang Bang, an *awful* BBC 3 "comedy", compared to which the I.T. Crowd is hilarious.
He steals every scene for me :) Much prefer this guy to the Chris Morris character.
Chris Morris was funny, but last weeks episode with the huge fight scene was the funniest moment with the new boss. I literally had tears in my eyes from laughter.

One of the worst comedy shows on TV is The Katy Brand one, its so unfunny, and what gets me is she appears on these panel shows and is funnier than her shows ( not that much funnier though, admittedly ) the best new comedian is Michael Mcintyre hes excellent
I don't personally think Mcintyre is that great. At times his delivery of a gag is pretty poor, he's too busy laughing at himself and how clever he is. And his panel show appearances are not brilliant either. Don't believe the hype.
I'm warming to Mcintyre - didn't like him to start off with (poor man's Jimmy Carr), but he's certainly getting better. Still patchy, but I think he just needs slightly better writers and he'll be there.
As for Lucy Montgomery, she still needs more exposure - better than BBC3 anyway. Poor scripts mask a good performer.

Yeah, just wated it too.
I like the whole "this is the Internet, its wireless.. the internet doesn't weigh anything"
"You're going to have to put seatbelts on your ears, because they are in for the ride of their life" :D
Previous week was great too - what does I.T. stand for?
i hate boss levels in video games, and i hate them in sitcoms :D
