the IT crowd

Got caught up in the British show 'The IT Crowd". I don't know why maybe it is all the stupid jokes, and bad, I mean really really bad, prat falls. And there's this guy, Roy, he is fantastic. "Are you from the past?" It could be his weird accent (Irish), or that he hurts himself constantly, I wish i knew.
But it does not stop me from thinking about Steve Coogan for too long.
