10 Most Quotable British TV Shows

5. The IT Crowd

Peep Show
Channel 4

The IT Crowd is one of the funniest British sitcoms around, with a brilliant balance of mundane normality mixed in with the most ridiculous scenarios that the characters always seem to get caught up in. This is supported by a great cast with amazing chemistry, everyone nailing their respective roles. Who knew a comedy focused purely on a small IT Department could be so good?

Without a doubt the most significant quote to come out of the show is "have you tried turning it off and on again?" The one piece of advice that everyone hears from their respective IT departments, it quickly gained even more traction as a phrase after the popularity of the show. However the show did a pretty good job of also showing some of the stupidest requests that an IT department has to deal with. In that way, it pleased everyone.

The show isn't limited to just the office. We see an underground Countdown competition, a bomb defusal robot on the job and even a funeral interrupted by a long lost son mourning his father, to name a few. With each episode comes an assortment of quotes and lines to accompany the wild situations the group get into.

There's a high chance you've probably had to suffer through a family member's awful impression of Moss at some point in your life too.
