Yes! Direct hit. The knife cleaves his head in twain and some of his brains runneth down John Two's invisibility cloak.

Jen the Fredo is about Jen having to entertain three of Douglas's business associates. She treats them to a game of Dungeons and Dragons with Moss and Roy.

A hilarious episode, the best the show has to offer and it ain't close. Each character shines and of course Moss steals the show, but not to the usual extent as everyone's great. The three rowdy associates terrific in their only appearance on the show, especially by way of physical comedy. Love Jen the Fredo!

Roy: So, everything's going to be OK from here on in My heart hurts! Jen: You do seem better than yesterday.

Roy: Fredo, Jen, he was, he was sort of a pimp. Jen: Oh, shut up. Roy: Wasn't he, Moss? Moss: What? Roy: Fredo, in the film, he was essentially a pimp. Moss: No, he took the ring to Mordor.

John One: I still don't understand what this game is! Phil: It seems gay. Moss: Are dragons gay, Phil? Mighty warrior priests wielding golden staffs. I suppose they're gay too? Here are your character sheets. John One, you're a unicorn man. John Two, you're a wood fairy. And Phil, you're the Gypsy assassin, Esmerelda.

Douglas: One of the women in the IT department?

Chris O'Dowd is brilliant

The whole episode is among the best ones. But Chris O'Dowd's performance in this in is sheer brilliance. Especially in the Queen Elf scene. Genius.

Poor Roy

D&D game is so difficult for Jen to understand, but... Maybe board game is not an entertainment. Roy is a photoshopping master. And what Jen think about entertainment is not the same thing as Douglas. The ******** award is amazing.

The start of season 4

Warning: Spoilers
One of the three guys has a resemblance to Ed or David Milliband in this season 4 opener of The IT Crowd. Jen is the Fredo (not Freddo Frog) which is similar to The Godfather about the mafia.
