THE IT CROWD

The IT crowd is a channel 4 comedy based around three characters who work in the IT department if a large company. I watched the episode 'FriendFace' and here are some of the things I learnt about the characters and comedy used in the show:

The character Jen is used to be the most relatable character for the audience. Unlike Moss and Roy, Jen isn't nerdy, she is completely out of her depth when it comes to anything to do with IT and for probably most of the shows audience that is relatable for them. Jen's obsession with FriendFace is relatable for the audience because many people spend lots of time on Facebook which is what the show is parodying. Although in the show Jen is overly obsessed with FriendFace which is supposed to be humorous. 
  Moss and Roy are your stereotypical nerds who spend most of their time online and are socially incompetent. Their childlike mannerisms are at times humorous but are often just one of the shows silly gags. Their inability to find a girlfriend is used to make humorous situations throughout the show.
