- Moss from the IT Crowd deals with the fire emergency in the only way he knows how - by sending an email. Subscribe to the official IT Crowd channel www.bit.ly/SUBSCRIBE_THEITCROWD
- Komedie
He has the "stay calm" part of an emergency NAILED.
Keep calm and email the emergency services
That's the only part you have to focus on really.
The best scene in the history of TV. Just missing one part at the very end where the firemen arrive: 'we've had an email about a fire!'
That was truly hysterical as well!
You are 100% correct!
Well, and the bit with the emergency number ad for context.
Your're all wrong. The best moment of that episode is when Denholm walks into the office, says: "Nice screensaver" then proceeds into Jen's office and says, without hesitation: "Aha! A stressmachine!" and takes it from the shelf :D
Finally someone said it
"ill just put this over here with the rest of the fire"
i, too, watched the video
613mw Best line of the whole series...
One big fire is better than two small ones, right?
when he makes you, his mom, and his sister angry
That has become my routine reaction towards reading the news lately.
I like when he says, "Why'd it done that?"
'MADE IN BRITAIN'
"Ohhhhhh." *acknowledging nod*
XD
I don't get it, can you explain?
@@TheMcstevester It's a jab at Britain.
@@TheMcstevester it's because Britain is incompetent
British cars are known to have had bad electrics and catching fire.
@@HaraldSangvik The only person to actually get the joke.
This needs to be extended to the part where Denholm walked in, pointed to the fire (now framed with a broken CRT monitor) and shouted, "Nice screensaver!"
Fire exclamation mark, Fire exclamation mark, looking forward to hearing from you Maurice Moss. Oh my god i have never laughed so much than i did at this part. He should have put a kiss on the end.
“I love how the smoke seems to come out of the top of the monitor”
That was the first clip I saw of The IT Crowd, my dad showed it to me when I was a kid and I was rolling for like 10 minutes straight.
@@MacTechG4Just a second… I’m late for golf!
Remember Jen's toes
“I’ll just put this over here with the rest of the fire”
-My brain in 2020.
When I first watched that I died of laughter
All of us.
"Four! I mean five! I mean fire!" may be my favorite joke in the history of jokes.
I don't get it :(
you must watch a lot of stand up
Could you explain PLS?
Four sounds like fire but with the middle 'ou' wrong. Five sounds like fire, the middle is right but it's with a v instead of an r. Saying fire is sort of like saying four and five at the same time.
Later (I think, can't recall) after this his boss looked at the fire which Moss hid with a monitor and said it was a screensaver. His boss said it reminds him of golf.
For some reason fire reminds him of golf.
So when Moss noticed the fire, he said "Fore" like the term used in golf, since "Fore" sounds like Four, it became Five... then naturally turns into Fire.
Don't quote me on that though. It's just how I thought the joke worked.
This is pure genius, the funniest British comedy I've seen in ages. "I'll just put this over here with the rest of the fire." This man is a riot.
As a Brit. I agree.
It’s the elite of comedy .
You know, I'm impressed by how contained that fire is. Any real-life fire would have burnt down half the building by the time Moss had done all that. Clearly, Moss had it very under control.
The papers in the office were made in Britain so they did not catch fire
@@johnmcauliffe8824 Also the fire was made in Britain so it didn't spread
@@hgfuhgvg And it was itself a British fire, politely waiting its turn.
I love how he looks at the fire twice before realising there's a fire
Speaking as team ADHD here, very relatable
When there’s a serious problem at work but you don’t get payed enough to care
Had that today
*Paid.
Yup. And if you don't know how to develop a sufficient sense of depraved indifference, try becoming a government worker.
Nothing builds indifference faster...
*Paid
"Don't look at my feet!!!"
"Fire? Fire...? No?"
Lol!
There's an extra layer to the beginning of the fire joke that I only just realised.
Before the fire starts, moss tells Roy he always gets the previous fire situation confused with a golf situation.
Then what's the first thing he says when he sees the fire?
"FORE!"
Yes, that was extremely funny
"well no, it was quite dangerous and people almost died"
Yep nope, I was thinking of the golf situation
Oh geez, I didn't get that; thanks! The "Fore" then "Five" did block that joke for me😁👍
Aaaaah that's where the 'four' bit at the start come from! I never got it till now, thanks!!
and then at the end of the episode Denholm, standing next to the fire says, "Wait a minute.... I'm late for golf!"
The email part always gets me hahahhaa
+PixelatedSparks really?
hahahhaha always gets me. In fact I am willing to spend half an hur hur hur discussing a show that ended a decade ago and some that only ran for an half hour too long in total.
Dear Sir/Madam,
-I am writing to inform you of a fire which has broken out on the premises-
FIRE! FIRE! HELP ME! 123 Carendem Road, looking forward to hearing from you.
All the best, Maurice Moss.
I was studying for my Certificate 3 in Business and Certificate 3 in Customer Contact. This included a unit on Workplace Health and Safety procedures. Our instructor used this clip to introduce the subject material.
Lol
Classic
Your instructor was wise.
I love how you can tell it's a real fire because the heat is causing the picture to warble over Moss's face
"Made in Britain" haha i love this show ^^
1:15 The way he delivers this line, with the tiny pause in the middle, is just excellent. I laugh everytime I hear this line in my head.
"FOUR! I mean FIVE! I mean FIRE!" That's one of the best lines that I've ever heard
First time I saw this I could barely breathe through my laughter, hilarious!
Because of your laughter or because of the smoke?
@alysdexia You have no sense of humor
What makes this funnier is the fire department actually responds to the email lol.
That is TYPICAL!
Moss is one of the greatest TV characters in history. The writing and acting/casting Richard were all brilliant.
"I'll just put this over here with the rest... of the fire". One of my favourite quotes from the entire show. :D
moss is so great at organizing! no one else would even think about putting all fire in one place! ^ ^
"No that's too formal". It was a masterpiece
I'll just put this over here with the rest of the fire.
"FOUR, I MEAN FIVE, I MEAN FIRE!" LMAO XD
Are you alive XD
I love that screensaver
It almost looks like the flames are coming out the top of the screen.
“I am a giddy goat!” 😂😂😂
Jen: DON’T LOOK AT MY FEET!!!!
Moss: Fire? Fire? Ok?
“Hello? Is this the emergency services? Then which country am I speaking to? Hello? Hello?” Lol
Emergency Services has been outsourced.
"Four! I mean five! I mean fire!" is easily one of my favorite jokes...ever. I don't even know why, but it cracks me up every single time. The absurdity of it all just kills me haha.
It gets me every time when he writes that email. I cant stop laughing one bit!
Dear sir/madam,
I'm writing to inform you of a FIRE which has broken out at the premises of --
Nope, that's too formal....
Fire! Exclamation mark. Fire! Exclamation mark. Help me! Exclamation mark.
All the best, Maurice Moss.
I like how he has the good sense to keep the fire in one spot
Had to do fire training for work today. This came to mind.

Graham Linehan, what a fantastic writer.
A shame about his views on gender though :(
shitty person tho
@@sitcomenjoyer7950 Unfortunately a lot of the best writers are...
The first time I saw this I couldn't contain myself. I had tears in my eyes from laughing so hard.
"I'll just put this over here with the rest of the fire" LMAO
This is me when I procrastinate on a giant project assignment.
I love it how he puts the fire extinguisher in the fire!
That might actually work. The fire heats the fire extinguisher until it explodes, releasing the fire fighting chemical all over the fire, thus putting it out.
i am a giddy goat
Anyone who's autistic with executive dysfunction knows exactly what it feels like to be Moss in this moment.
"Nice screensaver"
I'm a foreigner and I live in a middle eastern country. Long story short, English is really my third language, and I have to say that between British and american humor, the Brits take the cake.
Brits seem to love a lot of American programming though, and vice-versa, so it's not that easy to draw lines. Simon Pegg's movies are basically British homages to American movie conventions - zombies, buddy cop movies, paranoid sci-fi thrillers, etc. And British people seem to adore The Simpsons and movies like Office Space.
American "Humor": *LMAO! FUCK FARTS SHIT PISS PENIS! LULZ!*
British Humor: Actually being funny.
Matrilwood That's called "selection bias." We see the best British humor in the US because that's what they export. We don't see their horrible failures.
British humor is actually funny, and American is inconsistently, barely, or never funny at all.
Shane McCarthy
The British don't seem to agree on the second part. American comedies couldn't keep making money worldwide if your opinion was normal.
working in IT support suddenly all of this makes sense
I think the British fire extinguisher just killed me. Haha! I'm sure british stuff isn't that bad.
It’s worse
There was a time. But now after most production moved out to China, suddenly British made stuff doesn't seem all that bad :D
Cars from the Midlands.
It's every bit as good as our last few prime idio... er, ministers.
Lol
I love the part after he sends, when he sits back and puts his hands behind his head, Ive worked with some many ppl over the years that do that after and email, because its hard work writing on a screen
So good!!!!! I LOVE the call back to the new emergency services number! Funny every time! And...so good that I made the phone number into a canvas print! I heart Moss.
It would be cool to actually add that number specially to transfer to emergency services with the usual.
@@Fanta.... knowing my luck, I’ll have dementia in my old age and will remember 01189998819991197253 instead of the simple 911 in an emergency.
@@Fanta....
If you enter the number on a 2016 vintage Android phone and hit Call, the phone vibrates rapidly and the Call button flashes blue and red, impersonating an emergency vehicle. I've heard it still works on the Phone by Google app.
I just came back here because i just read the emergency guidelines of my company that ask you to immediately call first a 10 digit phone number and then they will call the firefighters
Was the phone number ‘0118 999 811 999 119 7253’?
Nobody does comedy better then the British. On the Buses, Monty Python, Benny Hill, , Faulty Towers, are you being served?, Allo Allo, Red Dwarf, Mr. Bean, Keeping up appearances, my Family. etc.....................
+Timothy B Tony Hancock was the best.
+Timothy B etc! Cheers.
Benny Hill was shit tbh.
Peep Show, Inbetweeners and then The Office as well!
Don't forget Greg Hemphill and Ford Kiernan.
Later on the fire brigade turn up and say "we've had an email about a fire". I totally creased up at that point!
Moss is like looking at the fire and looking away two times i mean like there is a fire going on but thats my favourite part
Something bad happens in september 2020
moss:"ill just put this over here with the rest of the fire"
The fact that the fire department actually breaks in as a response to the mail at the end of the episode
"4! I mean 5! I mean Fire!" killed me the first time I heard it.
Damn i miss this show....
I come back to this all the time. Just brilliant.
lmao its hillarious when he looks at the fire and continues working. hahaha this is the best programme ever!!!!
Moss can handle a situation like this, he knows what he's doing.
i love it. it makes me feel like i'm a part of the audience. i'd love to see something like this on stage.
“I’m writing to inform you of a fire.”
Real polite and calm under pressure, I’m envious 😂
This is my favorite IT crowd episode.
I'm a tiny bit disturbed that I remembered the new emergency number perfectly, thanks to that catchy jingle
I love how he adds Looking Forward To Hearing from You.
Fire! Fire! Help Me! ..... Looking forward to hearing from you . All the best - Maurice Moss. ( fucking brilliant)
This is just my absolutely most favorite episode. And this is one of the greatest scenes. His "Fire! Fire. Fire." to Jen very often comes back to me whenever someone (me?) wants to make someone else aware of something.
And that is also the episode which my previous post occurs in. :D
The work outing episode is a classic.
This show is so friggin' awesome xD
I love moss! My favorite tv character ever!
I just used this clip at work to explain something... love this show.
"Nope, that's too formal..."
This is sooooooo funny, my favorite IT Crowd episode so far, I'm new to the show but I'll catch up. I love this one
This is Boris Johnson in 2020!
This is my go-to scene to explain Asperger’s to people who are getting to know me.
“Four. I mean five. I mean fire.” 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
"Fire! Fire! Help me! [...] Looking forward to hearing from you."
the first time I saw this sketch I laughed so hard I couldn't breathe
🤣 and I was just looking for that clip🤣 thank god for CZcams
Haha, Moss.
"FIRE! FIRE! HELP ME! ...Looking forward to hearing from you, all the best, Maurice Moss."
This scene always gets me 😂⚰️
I also liked the "Nice screensaver!" part of this episode...
"Four, I mean five, I mean FIRE" 😂
0:30 Stand Upright. 1:08 Hold Upright.
Never fails to make me laugh.
The best bit is when the fire extinguisher burst into flames and Moss reads the label and it says made in Britain.
When Moss wrote the email I think I pissed myself laughing
love you Moss
What is literally happening over here in Australia, damn it Scott 😂😂😭😅
"stand upright"
"I _am_ a giddy goat. :D"
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
It Crowd so funny no four five I mean fire I am a Giddy Goat 🤣 I'll just put this with the rest of the fire!!!
Richard Ayoade, the actor who plays Moss, his mother is Norwegian, and the Norwegian word for four is 'fire', pronounced 'fee-reh', I don't know if that's the obscure train of thought behind the 'four five fire' line, but I found it interesting.
There was a line earlier in the episode about Moss confusing golf with fire. So it's not "four", it's "Fore!"
Not it at all. The joke is that Moss gets golf and fire mixed up, so when he saw the fire he yeled fore
I AM a giddy goat
Oh god! I am so in love with Chris O’Dowd!!!!!!!
ce que j’ai retenu de la video: fire fire
Fire fire
Ok
0:59 when task manager stops responding
