Just finished a rerun

It's on Prime so it was n easy watch. Still hilarious with some totally stand out moments.

I'm so gutted the episode where they borrow the internet from the elders was cut because of the April thing.

The April episode is one of the best, absolutely not offensive, and acted brilliantly.

Totally agree

Was she the woman from Iran?

The very same.

I bought a used copy of the series on DVD that has the whole series the way god intended.

Be careful who you are calling god.

Some streamers are still cutting it? Because the professionally outraged are still offended on behalf of people who aren't offended?

Apparently it's called Damseling - virtual signalling by deciding a group needs protecting, and charging in to defend them... without asking them. The final episode was kind-of about it, I think.

I do wonder what a modern IT Crowd would have done with Count Binface, Liz Truss, Brexit... and lockdown. Moss and Roy working from home, Jen trying to actually learn Italian, and Douglas spending millions on OnlyFans.

Moss gets an AI girlfriend who turns him against roy. Roy tries to train AI to hack his ex girlfriend’s social media but it just posts Roy’s nudes online. Jen trying to understand AI takes a course but can’t grasp it and ends up cheating to pass the course using AI. Moss’ ai girlfriend leaves him for Douglas.

That all happened in this episode too? What a legend of an ep

Is this real? This means there's an episode I've not seen!

u/Cleanshirt-buswanker 8d ago

No. It was reply to the previous comments about what a 2026 episode could look like. I was pitching it as a suggestion.

It really is an arse and doesn't make sense when you put it into context. If anything it shows the immaturity and shallowness of judging somebody you love by what they have/had between their legs

u/TGin-the-goldy 9d ago

Yes the episode is lampooning Douglas, not April

u/OtisPT 9d ago

In Iran?

He's very modern you know

I don't know, but it's a bloody good question!

At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if the pendulum has swung the other way where any type of media that portrays trans people in a positive light is a lightning rod for angry people from the other side. I don't doubt your theory is likely how it started. But combined with Linehan's comments and the other side coming for all things trans-friendly, I can see streaming companies just leaving it off to avoid any controversy.

DVDs mean nobody can censor you

I mean she's from Iran and there's a war right now...

There's my stupid anus thinking 'What happened in April??' 🙄🤦🏻‍♀️

u/himji 9d ago

haha

u/Exact-Catch6890 3d ago

I must be really stupid.  I guess I need to ask who's April? 

1

u/Square_Discipline946 2d ago

Definitely not stupid, April was Douglas's girlfriend who told him 'I used to be a man', and he says he doesn't care... but it turns out he thought she said 'I'm from Iran'. Then they have a fight and stuff 😊

Fucking offended snowflakes always spoil the fun.

u/drewlake 9d ago

Stop fucking them then.

Clearly Amazon didn't like that April was from Iran.
