The IT Crowd - S2E1: Moss and The German

Make notes on the post modern aspects in this episode

8 bit style intro and music (Old game consoles) (DJ Scotch Egg) (Tubeway Army-Are friends electric, Fine Young Cannibals-She Drives me Crazy)
Link to The Pink Windmill Kids (Emu Puppet) "Somebody at the Door"
Morecombe and Wise - Bromance, men acting as a couple

Parody of video Piracy advert - Exaggerate, funnier
Tarantino
Bromance break up, old married couple. (Eastenders conventions, storming out, 2 onlookers, street, dark)
Dramatization on non smoking, smoking like Russian war films, revolution, soviet, Slavic - Change of mise en scene, orange glow inside, bleak outside. Changes Jen's appearance and accent to match. 'The Ballet in Prague....' spy movie reference, code word sentences, 2 spies meeting
"Marriage counseling"
Russian Smokers
picture of blood on wall
doorbell jingle
police interrogation
break 4th wall, musical performance at end
Cannibal guy is very polite and lets him go, breaks generics stereotype of cannibals. Normally if we enter their homes we would end up as dinner. Hannibal Lector is closest to this guy. Urbane, polite and neat. Had a sense of humor. Over exaggerated evil laugh, advertised rather than hunt
The boss seems ridiculous, childlike, called Bruce Wayne (Batman), inherited his wealth/company, stupid.
