I miss the IT Crowd.

I have a weird relationship with The IT Crowd. I haven't watched a lot of it, and didn't really enjoy it when I watched it, hence why I stopped.

...but having watched it, I find myself really enjoying when people made references to it. Like it was more enjoyable referentially than it was to actually watch.

Honestly it's not all great, lots of it I kinda check out through, but there are some great bits that make the whole show worth it for me at least.

But yeah being in on references to it is honestly great because of how original/memorable some of the bits are, I think.

Similar situation with some of the less popular Monty Python movies or sketches, while watching I'm just like, ok this is weird, then while you're explaining it or talking to someone who knows you're just cracking up...

I felt exactly the same way about the UK version if the office - great in jokes but waay too cringe inducing for me

This is how I feel about a lot of shows in this vein, The Office, Parks and Rec, Sienfeld etc. They have really funny and quotable/refrenceable bits but actually watching whole episodes or seasons can get oddly depressing.

I have this relationship with the Old Gregg video. Hated it the first time I saw it, love it now (it gets funnier every time), don't really care for the show
