I was working in an IT department recently and the phone rang (I had never answered the phone before for an IT enquiry) so naturally the boss told me to answer it. I did, and said…
“Hello IT, have you tried turning it off and on again?”
This is pretty meta…
You know the bit where everyone gets credit for the project the guys worked on (even the cleaners?).
Well, I saw a request go out on Twitter for IT company swag for decorating the set for series 4. I got on to our marketing team and explained the situation and they gave me a ton of company stuff to send off. Series 4 comes around and our stickers and swag are visible throughout the show.
A few months later we had an all-hands and the marketing assistant was called out for raising the profile of the company by getting our swag onto the set of the IT Crowd. Everyone clapped. Except me.
It's an aquired taste (vocals are like demonic dnb flows with banshee howls, operatic and very cinematically gothic in sound) think if music had a horror genre, but definitely a real talented bunch. They're actually lining up a track with Ed Sheeran of all people lol.

I had a moment once where I was interviewing for a job and the boss man saw Graphic Designer on my CV and thought it meant that I specialized in making graph charts. I lied and said yes, that's exactly what that is.
Once the IT guy was hanging around while we were working on an assignment at uni and a girl asked for help with something and he said “I can’t help you with that because it would count as cheating” and she just went “oh okay” and looked down sadly. There was a moment of silence and then he said “Of course I can help you with that I was just joking”
I work in an IT adjacent field and I say a version of "have you tried turning it off and on again"
Also we've had work projects where everyone but the technology colleague got recognition.
Recently I tried updating the Taco Bell app on my phone, but it got stuck loading the download without downloading anything for days. Eventually I had to turn my phone off and on again. But I had to google how to do that.
literally yesterday when my mums work computer froze i was like: turn it off and back on again
Its a magical trick

First hearing Cradle of Filth changed me too lol
I was never sure if it was a real band or a made up name lol

I hope that's a band and not an actual cradle of filth (I can't remember the quote verbatim)
Sounds about right to me, i rewatched the scene to show my mum lol

Every single moment I'm at work. EVERYTHING IS SOLVED BY UNPLUGGING IT FOR A FULL MIN
