Not my kind of humor (I'm the guy in the audience who wasn't laughing).
"the internet"
[crowd start laughing uncontrollably, the booms of hystericallity are so loud they create a big bang]
That particular gag is rather meh, compared to the rest of the show, IMHO.
It's iconic, but there were many more subtle gags
The IT Crowd popularised "have you tried turning it off and on again"
I hope the advent of machine learning will afford us a way to filter out 50-95% of the laugh tracks in The IT Crowd. I'd love to be able to watch it for more than 5 minutes at a time again.
