The IT Crowd

British tech sitcom

The IT Crowd is a British sitcom (2006–2013) about a dysfunctional IT department in a corporate basement.

The show became a cult favorite for its absurdist humor and quotable lines, particularly "Have you tried turning it off and on again?" The title plays on "the in crowd," contrasting tech workers' actual low status with social elites.
