The IT Crowd The Internet Is Coming (2006–2013) Online

Having learned from Douglas that the secret of his success is wearing women's slacks Moss buys a pair, which makes him brave and creative. Roy is annoyed that the tiny barista, Troy, is doing a bad job of making his coffee and they argue, after which Troy runs in front of a van. At the same time, Jen accidentally throws coffee over a tramp. Both incidents are captured on camera and then posted on the Internet, turning Jen and Roy into global hate figures. Roy also accompanies girlfriend Alice to her grandfather's funeral but overuses a pepper spray solution to simulate tears of grief. Douglas attempts to limit the damage done by Roy and Jen by going on "The Secret Millionaire" but blows his cover and gets in trouble with the law partying with minors. Moss devises a plan to market the pepper spray and turn his colleagues into heroes. However, it backfires and the IT crowd thinks they're going to have to clear their desks. When Douglas tells them he has to hide out from the law they ...

The last line of the show was the most used line in all 4 series: Have you tried turning it off and on again?

"Game Board" is based on the Internet series "The Dice Tower". The phrase "Shut the fridge!" in the second video is based on The Dice Tower's catchphrase, "Shut the door", which appears at the end of many of their videos.

At approximately the 30 minute mark there is a montage of photographs shown. One of the photographs is of two people sitting in a field with the house where 'Father Ted' was filmed in the background. Graham Linehan, who was a writer for 'The IT Crowd', was also a writer for 'Father Ted'.

When Moss shows Roy his tear solution the mini fridge has a Guided By Voices sticker referencing when Jen admits she has become a fan and a "nerd conduit."

Final episode of IT Crowd.

With everyone getting successful in other projects (particularly O'Dowd) it is a good thing that they go the cast together even if a whole season was not possible. This final special is not the perfect way for the show to bow out though, since it is not as good as it once was. In particular the plotting jumps around a lot and as such feels fragmented. This isn't a problem if it all works well, but it doesn't and as a result it opens itself to having "good bits" and then less good bits. The ideas are a bit all over the place as well and not all of them work in that way – some are silly but build well while others seem forced and go nowhere.

I did still laugh though – not consistently but enough to make me feel like I enjoyed the episode. The cast are on mostly good form. O'Dowd is very funny but as always Ayoade steals it for me with his Moss. Parkinson has one great moment in the episode but mostly seems out of it. Berry is a disappointment – I usually love his bits but the material isn't there for him this time. Nice to see Fielding in there briefly and there are some other nice throwbacks. Generally though it is not what it was. Worth a look for fans and there are some good laughs, but I could probably have lived without this one extra go round.

It came as no surprise to anyone that the show came to an end, with the cast all going on to big things. It had been such a successful and hilarious show, it deserved to go out on a huge high. While I don't think the episode reaches the status of huge high, it was still a very good ending with some truly funny moments, most of which this time around focused on Jen. The mishap involving her coffee and the homeless woman is very funny, as was Moss's transformation in the telephone box into women's slacks. I was among the vast number of people who were gutted when the show ended, but looking back now I think it's fair to say they ended it at the right time.

I watched this episode with my mum and my sister, both of whom are fans of 'The IT Crowd' more than I am (I watched a couple of earlier episodes with them in the past), this Christmas morning. I didn't find it too funny to begin with but as the episode progressed, there were at least three gags that made me laugh.

The first gag was a misunderstanding of the autistic spectrum (of which I am on the higher end) as "the artistic spectrum," the second involved Moss, I believe, saying he would do a series of board game review videos (cleverly named Game Board) online and last but not least, the pièce de resistance consisting of Jen accidentally throwing coffee at a homeless woman and Roy arguing with a short barista before the barista is hit by a van with breasts on the front (no wonder a smaller version was shown earlier in the episode). The subsequent reconstructions were hilarious, especially the first one and the CGI one with commentary in Japanese and a reference to the 'Cat Bin Lady.'

Although I've never been a massive follower of the show, I still found this episode a hoot and I'll never forget the moment Jen and Roy's incidents became online viral video sensations. 8/10.
