Been watching IT Crowd lately so have said 'Have you tried turning it off and on again' many times recently, the amount of people that don't realise that is a solution that works in many cases is amazing.

I work in a psuedo IT position right now, and I can tell you I've been using that phrase (not verbatim mind you) for years before I saw the show. I just wish they had continued it beyond it's four seasons :(

I can imagine, its a simple solution to many a technical problem and too many people are stupid.
And yeah big shame it didn't carry on, think its pretty much just because the two guys wanted to go into film, which is a shame.

I have quoted every line from both seasons of the show Code Monkeys every day for the last four years... fething hilarious

Whenever someone has a suspicious bulge in their pocket or is carrying a package I say "Whats it got in it's pocketses Precious?"/"Whats it got in the boxeses"

The best I ever heard was from a mate who was out with a couple of his cousins after a night on the lash.

They go to get a kebab, they make there order and the guy behind the counter says....

"anything else?"

Which was met with

"phased plasma rifle in a 40 watt range"

Kabab man retorts with

"hey just what you see pal"

Word for word Terminator quoting with some some guy in a kabab shop, just brilliant
