The three main characters in the IT crowd are Roy, Mos and Jen. Roy is lazy, where as Mos is technical but because of this also incredibly stupid. That may sound weird but because of how technical he is there are sometimes when he does things that he thinks are technical which then later on will turn in to something would make people think that he was someone incredibly stupid. Then Jen is someone who says things when she thinks no one is listening which then gets her in to situations that will just make her look bad.
Mos is comic because when he puts his phone in his top pocket he thinks he is being smart because it is quicker to get to his phone, but it is actually stupid because it falls into the toilet when he goes to flush it. Jen is comic because she makes quick responses to what people say without even thinking about the consequences. Roy is comic because when he hears about his girlfriends parents dieing in a fire at sea parks he gets really obsessed with it and his life starts to revolve around trying to work out how it happened.
The audience are positioned in relation to each character in a way where they know more about the characters then the other characters do or more then they know about themselves.
