James Corden is far more of a genius than Noel Fielding.

do you love Gavin and Stacey (most boring, cliched, worthless program ever), or are you just obsessed?

James Corden is a fat bloke! Wow! That's brilliant

'oh look a welsh idiot and an essex prat get married and they 'luv each over!'

lets all cry and laugh and throw baftas at them
 

Well Gavin and Stacey has won award after award so i'd say you're definitely in the minority.

It's funny you called it boring, cliched and worthless as that's what I thought when I read your post

Just the kind of retort you would find in Gavin and Stacey.

Just to point out, I mentioned I'm in the minority you dick!

I said that most of the UK is made up of below average IQ, common, muppetts and old people.

IMO I don't think i fit into this category.

This sitcom is made for the great unwashed and appeals generically to as many morons as possible.

Personal insults like this are neither appreciated, nor needed. Please refrain in future. Thanks.

I like it, but I don't "love" it. Not sure what you're suggesting I'm obsessed with either, but any character in Gavin and Stacey is worth 20 of Fielding's in The IT Crowd.

It always annoys me though that the stupid link announcers always call it
"the it crowd" ("it" as in "pit") instead of "The Eye Tee Crowd".

Could be because Graham Linehan has stated that it's meant to be '(p)it' and not 'eye tee'.

Yes - I probably fulfill all those criteria - and I love IT Crowd.

Gavin & Stacey is quite good too though.

I saw this for the first time repeated on More4 (the one when they go to see “Gay” the musical) the funniest thing I’ve seen in a long long long long long long time.

I still believe Series 2 is better than Series 1.

I believe it is an intentional play on the phrase 'It Crowd' (i.e. hip and happening people). This was all part of the marketing for series one (remember the trailers?) but since seems to have been dropped.

He just really doesn't rate Noel.

At least in the IT Crowd. I'm not sure he's watched much of his other stuff?
 

Not recently enough to pass judgement, no.

I just really don't see any point or worth in that character. It's as if the part was written with no other reason than to put Noel Fielding in the show.

I think they were trying to expand the shows 2nd tier characters like Scrubs Sweaty Teddy and The Todd. I really like the character and think he is a positive addition.
