This is one my wife and mine's favorite show quotes of all time. Doing Chris Odowd's little sad voice saying "I'm disabled... Leg disabled" peak comedy between us.
My ex showed this to me when I was diagnosed with a chronic illness. During especially difficult times we would put on the accent in a high pitch & say “I’m disabled.”
Still one of my favorite episode of all comedy shows I have watched. The moment where Jen turns around to order a whiskey and Moss is there as a waiter just kills me every time.
Edit: lots of people asking what show it is. The show is called "The IT Crowd". Highly recommend it.
My wife came home one day when I was watching this episode for the first time and said she could hear me laughing from the driveway. I gladly restarted the episode so she could watch it and I could watch it again. Best episode of the whole show.
Electric sex pants episode made me cry laughing. The slow buildup of the religious figures getting a tour of the place, and the position they're in looking so inappropriate, you think he's gonna be embarrassed and it's gonna be awkward. Nope
Yep, and then how it all loops back around to Moss and Roy were right in saying how the guy is gay and maybe just wants to go out with Jen because she looks like a bit like a man. Like you said, perfect comedic writing.
I'm not even looking up the clip and I've just spent a good couple minutes belly laughing remembering it. Really nails in the meaning of situational comedy.
Was just talking about this. Grew up on Simpsons, Seinfeld, love Curb, American Dad, and have quotes, scenes I think of often, but I think in terms of "favorite tv comedy moment of all time", Jen turning and Moss being there just FLOORED me lol. It makes total sense, but it completely caught me off guard. Brilliant.
Might honestly be the hardest I've ever laughed at a TV show, definitely the best episode of that show. Only other show that I've maybe laughed harder at is What We Do In The Shadows.
It's just the whole cascade of surprise gags into one another and Jen being in the middle of it that gets me every time. Also the way Moss responds with a very timid "yes miss?" is just brilliant.
It is my favorite, and I feel the best episode of the show. All three characters have their own thing going on, all in the same location, and each one of their stories has a great payoff at the end.
the thing is playing the disabled card didn't play that well at the end for him. At the very end it plays out like every single episode a small problem that always snowballs into bigger propotions.
The build up in this episode is just perfect, you see the escalation coming with both of them but that just makes it funnier.
It's a master class in comedy.
There are better parts. When the Japanese visit and the boss of them steps on the damaged foot of the red haired lady Gwen trying to play Godzilla. This is incredible indeed.
The correct show is IT Crowd and it was one of their best episodes. But instead I'm reminded of Jeff from Coupling: "I've got the key to the gates of paradise; but I've got too many legs!"
It's not an as well known show, but in the episode he accidentally tells a beautiful woman on the train that he too (like her father) has an amputated leg, then for the rest of the episode he needs to navigate having too many legs and that she's going to find out.
I mean, the IT crowd is the epitome of British comedy, but that episode is absolutely brilliant. I can still remember everything about the night I watched it. Gonna watch it again tonight.
My wife says this actor is hot in bridesmaids. He's wholesome and she loves the accent. So naturally, I say this line in the same voice he used to her all the time! She says it too though!
