Funniest moment?


What do you consider the funniest moment/situation out of all the episodes? For me it's when Moss throws the coffee to Roy thinking it's empty for a joke when it isn't, followed closely by the Gay musical.

My favorite episode is the one where they go to the musical and Roy pretends to be disabled.

My favorite moment? The latest one I watched. Jen says she "needs a browser", and when she opens up her laptop and has all kinds of popups and banners all over her desktop. When Roy tries to fix it she screams, 'Don't touch it, I like it this way!'. It killed me specifically because I've had that exact thing happen multiple times, usually preceded by someone telling me that their computer was "slow" or "acting weird". When Roy said "That computer is infected, it is was a person, I'd shoot it in the face!", I almost cried.


In other words, I work in IT. Some of the most relevant moments are the best for me.

"The Work Outing" (Gay Musical) episode. I have watched it 4 times and I still find it funny....the ambulance scene, the wheelchair and especially the bar scene. Funniest scene since Belushi broke the guitar in "Animal House".

Richmond hiding in the corner of the ceiling in the Dinner Party episode, the look on his face.

What about the second episode? It was the funniest episode ever. Stress class, Jen fitting 8.5 size foot in a 5 shoe (all of Jen's expressions and when she walked so proudly but utter painfully in those), Moss writing email for fire and later hiding it as screensaver, the whole episode was epic. I am still laughing remembering it. Second to it was the 'gay musical' one. Rest were good.

Jen sees Roy in the wheelchair and goes to the bar to get a drink and Moss is the one who's bartending

I laughed so hard and so loudly I started crying...

Stress Class episode was brilliant, that episode really hooked me on the series ... Christopher Morris was so excellent in every scene, I don't know why he was replaced - was he too expensive or something?

I laughed so hard when Moss was being bullied and Roy tried to teach him how to stand for himself, but instead made him cry 2 times.

Roy : Them glasses is *beep* , i'n it ?
Moss : (Crying) It's too real, Roy. It's too real !

My favorite bit is when Jen is yelling at the Japanese business man after he stomps on her foot. After her profane tirade the translator appears and calmly translates what she said.

Love it!

The entire Gay Play episode was a masterpiece - laughed so hard I needed Depends for a week! The look of doubt on Roy's face when his girlfriend describes the death of her parents in the tragic fire at the Sea Park venue, which escalates into his reconstruction of the scenario with a set built of matches and paper. Moss's "discovery" of the rogue robot that was attempting to remove the bomb-in-the-bag: the moment when he asks the policeman operating the faulty remote control what system he's using and hears, "Vista" and screams out, "We're gonna die!" The poo-head award. The wearing of the electric sexual harassment pants. The discovery of Richardson behind the red door, pondering the meaning of the flashing lights. The tossing of the coffee-cup. The black box of the internet, delivered by The Lords of the Internet from its perch atop Big Ben, where the reception is best. The Italian translation episode, start to finish. Moss trapped in the grab-a-soft-toy machine, pointing out that the toys would be moist by morning. Pass me some more Depends . . . I'm in for a re-binge!

SO many funny moments, my favourites keep changing. Right now my top moments are:

1. The most recent special episode, the Internet is Coming, when Roy ("small person racist") is at the funeral, and is called to be a stand-in pall-bearer. I love the way he builds up the scene, even the way he sweeps his hand as he says "...and we're going to put the casket ... on our collective shoulders..." Then, just as it's built up to the comedy moment it cuts to the next scene and Roy's saying "no, it wasn't a successful funeral for me. The timing and acting of that piece is genius.

2. Season 4 finale, Reynholm vs Reynholm, when Moss takes the stand. Amazing physical comedy, and the staring serious face.

3. Italian for Beginners, the post-credits bit where Moss is still stuck in the cabinet, and he says "these toys may smell of wee come the morn"

4. Another moment from Italian for Beginners, when Roy is caught by his girlfriend while looking up Sea Parks, she asks him what he's doing, and he says....well I'm sure you all know what he says.

Far and away my favourite TV show of all time
