Have You Tried Turning It Off an Don Again
Source: The It Oversupply
Speaker: Roy Trenneman
Hi. It. Accept you tried turning it off and on again?
Context
This line is spoken by Roy Trenneman (played by Chris O'Dowd) in various episodes of The Information technology Crowd (2006-2010).
With his Irish brogue and complete inability to do whatever piece of work or offer any tech back up, Roy Trenneman is kind of living the employment dream. Except for the fact that he and his It mates piece of work in a dingy basement where fires spontaneously start.
Equally part of his mission to practise as footling work as possible, Roy has put the go-to line of IT professionals around the universe on tape. So he can sit back, relax, and listen to his clients treat each new iteration of "Have you tried turning it off and on once more?" like information technology's the offset fourth dimension they've ever heard it.
Where you've heard it
You've heard this quote when your computer is on the fritz, and the tech support person decided to not be helpful that day. This advice does occasionally works though.
And if you're an IT person yourself and tired of telling customers this, you can habiliment this handy T-shirt.
Pretentious Factor
If you were to drop this quote at a dinner party, would you lot get an in-unison "awww" or would everyone roll their eyes and never invite yous back? Here it is, on a calibration of one-10.
This quote is a surefire mode to way to out a tech know-information technology-all. Or maybe they're just a big fan of The It Crowd. Hopefully it's the second affair.
