I watched a couple episodes of The IT Crowd. When does it get good?

LMAO the dinner party episode where Roy spends the entire dinner trying to figure out how badly the bandage woman's face is.
The laugh track put me off at first as well, until I stubbornly realized that the show is pretty good. Ayoade kills it.
The joke that always gets me is when Jen causally mentions she's dating a guy (who we haven't seen yet), then Roy says "Oh the guy who looks like a magician."
The next scene we see Jen sitting at the table looking at someone uncomfortably, then the camera cuts to this
One of my favourite gags in tv history

Gentlemen, when I first started Reynholm industries, I had just two things in my pocket: A dream, and six million pounds. Today, I have a business empire the like of which the world has never seen the like of which. I hope it doesn't sound arrogant when I say that I am the greatest man in the world.

Cheers, Frasier, Roseanne, Seinfeld, I love Lucy, MASH, The Dick van Dyke show, The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, The Golden Girls, Mary Tyler Moore all have laugh tracks and are among the best comedies ever made.
I hate these kind of threads and the OP sounds utterly poe faced to me however in a desire to stay positive I will offer Peep Show as an alternative. No laugh track; filmed with one camera and all POV. Seasons 1 - 5 Give it a go but please if you don't like it don't make another of these wretched threads or I may lose my manners.
Reynholm Industries...
A big hard business in a big hard building...
Lol... I just remembered in the letter he mentioned he ended his life by jumping out of the window...

Yeah, Americans don't understand British humour. It's the same with Aussie humour.
I'm from Texas. I find the show, and Father Ted, both hilarious.
EDIT: Re: aussie humor is funny, too. I love Summer Height High.
It got much better with a Matt Berry - in fact you should give Toast of London a spin as it's on Netflix everywhere
My lovely horse
I want to hold you so tight
rub my fingers through your tail
and love you all night

JUST PLAY THE FUCKING NOTE
That episode is an absolute treasure. The show is a treasure.
Oh btw, introduced my parents to this show, when they got to this episode my father was genuinely laughing so hard he fell onto his knees from his chair and rocked around on the floor laughing. Literally the only time I've ever seen someone actually ROFL.

They're all pretty funny, including Ja'mie and We can be heroes. I still think Summer Heights High is the funniest.
The ecstasy song in particular had me in tears.
Limmy show is another great show. Completely different, but my god his Mr. Mulvaney sketches alone make it worthwhile. The Star Bar one is something I have to just go back and watch sometimes.
Limmy's Show is like nothing I've ever seen, it's almost painfully intense but I think there's greatness there.
I've noticed Americans are particularly squeamish about sex. Like the British were before the Carry On films.
The creator of this was co-creator on FT. I love them both, although Father Ted is better. Possibly my favourite sitcom ever.
Yeah, I've just checked and they're all on Netflix. I know what I'm doing tonight!
I basically discovered Never mind the buzzcocks and 8 out of 10 does countdown thanks to him. I also discover Jimmy Carr and so many others
I've genuinely cried with laughter at this show.

All it takes to get a few laughs from this thread for me is the reading of the episode quotes to bring it all back.
I've watched IT crowd from start to finish many times and it's always just as funny. One of the best modern TV comedies.
Honestly, it may just not be for you.

I just checked it after typing it and can't believe I still remembered all the numbers from the jingle.
