She has to give a speech, so Roy and Moss write a speech for her &#8212; because she still doesn&#8217;t know anything about computers, they know they can get her to say something silly.<\/p>\n<p>Season 3 of <strong>The IT Crowd<\/strong> originally aired in 2008. If you want to think of the show as brilliant, just watch the first season &#8212; it goes downhill a bit.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t like it when we&#8217;re supposed to laugh at bad things happening to people. When something unfortunate is happening to someone, whether they&#8217;re in physical or mental pain, I don&#8217;t find that funny at all. For example, when Roy takes his shirt off because it has a coffee stain on it he gets kicked out of the building by security. He doesn&#8217;t have any money on him so he starts asking people on the street for money to make a phone call. There are people laughing on the laugh track all through this but it&#8217;s not funny.<\/p>\n<p>Douglas the boss is played by Matt Berry (<strong>AD\/BC: A Rock Opera<\/strong>). He&#8217;s ostensibly the son of the previous boss, even though there doesn&#8217;t seem to be a big enough difference in their ages.<\/p>\n<p>The theme music was composed by Neil Hannon (<strong>Wide Open Spaces<\/strong>). It&#8217;s catchy and suits the humorous IT-related nature of the show.<\/p>\n<p>I previously reviewed <a href=\"http:\/\/www.davidmswitzer.com\/blog\/2012\/06\/the-it-crowd-seasons-1-2\/\">seasons 1 &amp; 2<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>{4\/5} &#8220;You best put seat belts on your ears, Roy, cause I&#8217;m going to take them for the ride of their life.&#8221; The highlight of season 3 is in &#8220;Are We Not Men?&#8221; when Roy and Moss pretend to know about soccer in order to talk to &#8220;real men.&#8221; In\u00a0&#8220;The Speech&#8221; Jen wins employee of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[16,5,11],"class_list":["post-910","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-tv-shows","tag-comedy","tag-review","tag-tv-show"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.davidmswitzer.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/910","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.davidmswitzer.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.davidmswitzer.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davidmswitzer.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davidmswitzer.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=910"}],"version-history":[{"count":17,"href":"https:\/\/www.davidmswitzer.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/910\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9629,"href":"https:\/\/www.davidmswitzer.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/910\/revisions\/9629"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.davidmswitzer.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=910"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davidmswitzer.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=910"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davidmswitzer.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=910"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
