Graham Linehan's record of writing and directing TV comedy is probably second to none and it appears from the three series of IT Crowd that he hasn't lost his touch.
The Irishman's ability to make audiences laugh using original clever modern ideas must be applauded, and his latest incarnation is no different.
A sitcom based in and around the IT department set in the bowels of Reynholm industries, centres on three key characters. Moss is a cyber geek who still lives with his Mum and Roy is a computer nerd with a lust for the girls. Both of whom lack severely in the social skills department. Jen is the manager of the IT department. Unfortunately for her she knows nothing about computers.
The gags are a combination of some effective bizarre visuals and circumstances expertly created by Linehan and comments and catchphrases delivered perfectly by the cast of Richard Ayoade, Chris O'Dowd and Katherine Parkinson.
Many of the funniest moments appear in episodes where Moss and Roy are placed in strange (to them) situations. This brings out the full extent of their characters especially when situations get out of control and snowball.
As IT Crowd progresses through its three series the characters are allowed to develop more and escape the confines of the office basement. This allows the show to stretch its comedic legs. Some of the strongest episodes which do this include 'The Work Outing', 'The Dinner Party' and 'Are we not men?'. The show however doesn't forget its I.T roots and plays out a great take on modern social life in the episode 'FriendFace'. Based on the internet social network websites, the writer exaggerates a point to a precise level without overcooking it for us non geeks ending it with hilarious results.
Silly, ridiculous and imaginatively written. If you like your comedy like this then you won't be disappointed!
Have you tried turning it off and on again?

Funny from start to the end. It is one of them things you can watch again and again and find new things to laugh at. Good, clean, family humour
