I AM a Giddy Goat! ;o)

Ok, it's Friday. This means I like to go into the weekend laughing!
If you like clever dry wit, rather than the 'oh I punched you in the face and you fell on the floor, how exciting, I'd better laugh and applaud so it sounds electronic' humour, then watch this! It's one of my most favourite scenes from one of my most favourite British comedy shows, called The IT Crowd. Enjoy!
After watching this, if you know of any comedies you think I might like, PLEASE DO RECOMMEND! Living in Greece sure has it's drawbacks sometimes ...




And have an awesome weekend!

  1. Fantastic clip! This is written by Graham Linehan, who co-wrote Father Ted and Black Books, both of which I highly recommend but you probably know about! Also - have you caught the new version of Reggie Perrin with Martin Clunes? I'm not a Clunes fan but like it very much.

  2. Yep, Faher Ted and Black Books are great! I've never heard of the other one. Thanks I'll have to check it out! :o)

  3. That was hilarious! I love the dry, British wit. Is Greece lacking in comedy, or is their humour just...different?

  4. Neh, it's just different. They get off on a lot of physical over-acting. I don't find it funny. It makes me cringe! :o)

  8. British humor is so much more mature than American, and apparently Greek.

    Can't watch this at work but I bet it's hilarious.

  12. Hilarious! British TV rocks. Hubs and I have been longtime fans of Absolutely Fabulous. You can hardly ever find it here in the States, but we watched a few episodes in France over the summer.

    Still Giddy Goat about your news, btw!!!!!!!!!

    Happy Dance!

  18. *snort* Loved it. You probably have far better access to British stuff than I do, but that is also the humor I like best.

    This post has my most recent fall-off-my-chair laughs: http://themiddle-ages.blogspot.com/2010/10/umyeahso-anyway.html

  20. I head over to get my daily does of Jess only to find out that my computer doesn't like things that are foreign... for instance, my work doesn't like me to laugh... losers.

    I'll have to check it when I get home... luckily that's not too far away.

  21. I just found this show a couple of weeks ago.

  22. Great Video! I'm usually not for British humor, but I liked this one. You have a great weekend too.

  23. Ha! That's great. I love Brit humor. Brit just about anything, really, tickles me. Like Jude Law. Well, I wish Jude Law would tickle me, but you know what I mean!

    Happy Weekend! :)

  24. Jessica, that was so funny. I've wondered about the instructions and the time it would take to read when a fire is burning. LOL!

    Thank you for sharing, you're so cute!

    BTW, I've missed you! <3

  25. Hello Jessica...I see this programme on TV sometimes and I find it funny, too. I also like watching Everybody Loves Raymond! :)

  26. I agree with the suggestion of The Big Bang Theory. That and Modern Family are my two favorite comedies as of late.

  28. There is no substitute for dry British humor. I need a daily dose of it to survive at my blood center.

    Hope your Sunday is going well, Roland
