The IT Crowd
When I heard what this week's episode was about, I have to admit it didn't sound that great at first. However I was pleasantly surprised when it ended up being the funniest episode of the season so far. This was mostly due to Roy's story about his girlfriend's parents dying under weirdly inexplicable circumstances and his frustration at not knowing the details, at one point involving a classic Close Encounters of the Third Kind reference that worked better than it should have because it was so unexpected. It was predictable that Moss's cell phone was going to fall out of his shirt pocket, but I enjoyed his predicament inside the claw game, as well as his reactions to Roy and Jen in this episode. Jen's storyline was the weakest, as the clueless translator gag has been done before, but Douglas helped make those scenes a bit better than they could have been, and the saving grace was the moment when the "virtual marathon" woman, bumped from the spotlight by Jen, is looking around helplessly as she mimes riding a bicycle.
