This reminds me that they also had a US version of Skins that I think I saw the pilot (or a clip of it) somewhere and thought it was awful.
There’s some jokes in the IT Crowd that are clearly for the home audience (the fire extinguisher that doesn’t work having a big “Made in Britain” label on it) but I think a lot of it is just universal technologist stuff. Fooling your boss into thinking the internet all comes from a small box at the top of Big Ben, navigating a dinner party, dealing with inter-office politics…there’s a lot there to relate to.
