the only results Google came back with were from from here That's quite surprising.
*tries the notbbc forum search function*
0 results. Either the notbbc search is broken, or INHICTB is all a figment of mine, moss's and monkeyson's imaginations. Or it actually came from elsewhere and I can't remember where that is.

I just watched s03e01, it's good, but I still don't like her "deep" voice. It's not particularly funny, as much as it is annoying. |

Well, on the bright side - and going back to comments made today in another thread (by Toggle?*) - it should soon be very easy for people to find out what INHICTB means via Google.
* Shorter than what I normally use, so will henceforth be what I call Togglewossname. |

Oh God, this is the best new comedy series in YEARS!
Everything about it is just perfect. Message #108874, posted by moss at 06:33, 27/11/2008:
That there review wot I wrote here. Exactly how I feel.
The show hasn't been at its best since the second episode of the second series. Although it is just a downgrade from "best new comedy show in years" to "a great comedy show". |

I opened that page, looked at the length of your review, and thought "It's a less-than-half-hour comedy. I'm not reading that, it's far too long." Never underestimate how much you can talk about 25 minutes of sitcom! There's a lot going on there.
But yeah, it's a review designed for people who really want to go in-depth into these things. Certainly not for everyone. |

Episode 2, then. Some long sections without laughs, I thought. I liked all the police cars.
BUT: Moss uses Xara Xtreme! And Google Chrome!
ALSO: Why do TV show put prominent URLs on screen but not register them? |

ALSO: Why do TV show put prominent URLs on screen but not register them? I've now watched it, and now know what the is significance of the URL.
So, Mr Monkeyson, Sir, why were you attempting to visit a website aimed at teaching you to say football things in a football voice?

So, Mr Monkeyson, Sir, why were you attempting to visit a website aimed at teaching you to say football things in a football voice? For larks. And this is why websites like the fictional bluffball are needed, it seems.
I can understand someone visiting a football website expecting to see pictures of birds. That makes sense - it's in the nature of football type people (aka real men) to like birds and to read stuff (magazines, websites) claiming to be interested in the content, when they're really just looking at the pictures of birds.
(I know this because a football type person told me it in a pub, into which I had very daringly ventured.)
However, what you clearly fail to realise is that the birds in question are not even of the feathered variety, let alone that particular species. It's actually a word which refers to women. As I understand it, the normal preference is for blondes with big breasts. (Note, that's big breasts and not either red breasts or blue tits.)
I hope that clarifies things. |

Back to The IT Crowd, this is old but quite horrid to read - has the reviewer even really watched the show? It's nothing like The Office! Moron.

Meh, the sad Wikipedians have been updating their IT Crowd article for yonks regarding this. Linehan confirmed it about a month ago. Old news. Good news, to be sure, but old. |
