What you've just experienced is a kind of new form of humour in which the characters play things perfectly straight, but in fact say things that are rather outlandish and difficult to reconcile.Yeah, like remember that mini-show-in-a-show they did on Curb your enthusiasm called "Seinfeld" The "Kramer" character would be an example. Or new retro 1950's web TV show "I Love Lucy". This new form of humor is really catching on.
I'm prepared for a lot of crazy ideas and sentiments coming from Metafilter, but to have this many people just popping in to share that they dislike the IT Crowd confuses me to no end. How is it possible? Where did you come from?Um, yeah. It's like reading a decent article in the Guardian, and then finding it's been inundated with comments like "WE NEED 5000 YEARS OF DAVID CAMERON!" and "Margaret Thatcher's handbag proves climate science a hoax! I eat baby seals!" And that they all have a bajillion "recommends." Who are you people? And why now? Is it Phase 2.0 already?
