god forbit you should relate to anyone from the computer industry
I do relate to certain things about the show, it's not all distant. But on the whole it's not funny, because the characters are caricatures, not real. Or at least not like the people I know and have met in the "industry". It may be amusing to some to think that computer geeks have no confidence and no motor skills and hate sports with a passion (there is actually an episode on the show where one of the characters has to kick a football and it's like torture to him), but here we are on a football forum that I started because I was playing a lot of footie and I got interested in Serie A.
And more importantly, the show is not even about computer stuff or working in IT and fixing people's computers most of the time. It's about awkward social and cultural statements that I don't relate to very much.
If you want to see something a lot more real to me then you have to see Office Space. It kills.
