30+ 'The IT Crowd' Quotes That Are Mother Flipping Funny

The IT Crowd was a staple of British comedy throughout the aughts. Premiering in 2006, the sitcom followed a 3-person IT team and their antics. Fans loved genius and nerdy Moss, whose social awkwardness made for some hilarious line deliveries. Chris O’Dowd (we see you, Bridesmaids fans) stars as Roy, the lazy teammate whose sarcastic one-liners bring a little Irish humor to the British show. Jen brings some (funnily-packaged) common sense to an otherwise chaotic team.

To pay tribute, we’ve compiled a list of some hilarious the IT Crowd quotes that show the group’s stellar characters. If you’re an old fan of the show, take some time to bask in a little nostalgia. If you’ve never heard of it before, have a read and convince yourself it’s worth watching (because it is).
