    Tremendous

    Most satisfying and well-fictioned episode of it crowd while approaching to the end. God I'm going to miss this show.

    My absolute favorite episode

    Everything about this episode is so funny. Comedy gold. I quote "have you tried turning it off and on again" all the time and the bomb squad scene runs in my head constantly. I love all of the computer jokes, and they've really captured the atmosphere of tech industry. Fantastic show.

    To the guy who said he didn't laugh once

    If you didn't laugh at the beginning when the cop doing the briefing about talking to troubled teens moves aside to reveal Moss trying to look tough, you're dead inside. That was one of the best laughs of the series. This show needs a reboot.

    My new favorite episode

    I think, there are so many to choose from, but Matt Berry ripping through the same poster twice has to be one of the funniest things ever.

    I didn't laugh once

    Since season 1 this show has been going downhill fast. This is probably the worst episode yet. It appears that the show's writers have stopped trying, and instead of geek jokes they have decided that every episode should be about geeks getting into some unusual situation.

    Honestly I get the feeling that the "studio audience" must be comprised of either a room full of people and laughing gas, or else it's canned laughter. There is something not quite right when the laugh track bursts out into hysterical laughter over a man using the word "bloody".

    It may be kinder to just put this show down after this season, as it is obvious that the producers, writers and actors just couldn't be bothered trying any more.

      Bomb Disposal: [referring to the bomb disposal robot] I'm just having a couple of problems with it.

      Moss: What kind of operating system does it use?

      Bomb Disposal: It's er... Vista.

      Moss: We're going to die!
