I used to think Coogan was the best comedic actor I'd ever seen but Ricky tops him I think. The subtlest of looks, nods etc. I think the best example is when Brent is interviewing for an assistant, that is amazing!
You need to watch the U.K. Office and the film “David Brent: Life on the Road” to really get the context of this music video and why it’s so character accurate.
Hey Josh, This song has a massive back story. It plays on all of David Brent's insecurities about not being seen as a racist, sexist, homophobe to the point that he tries sooooo hard to show that he isn't (he does this all through The Office series as well) that he actually accidentally seems to be all those things. This song came about when Ricky's character wormed his way into becoming a manager for his black musician rapper friend, but during their first recording session he starts to gradually take control of the situation and injecting his own music until finally his "anti racism" song is used and his mate only has a feat part. You totally need to watch the British Office. It's a completely different baby to the US version and Ricky's character is so well acted, so aware of the cameras it is just pure cringe (but in such a true to life way - we all know a David Brent, but no one actually knows a Michael Scott).
Ricky Gervais never fails to make me laugh. This guy has got so much classic material it’s unreal. This man really is Comedy genius. Television would be dead with out him. 👊💯
Really old! It was for comic relief in UK. The other guy is Doc Brown who is another good comedian from the UK should watch if you haven't. He's quite good on the Russel Howard show. Also Ricky does a whole guitar lesson series as David Brent and a movie after the office called life on the road.
Really old but timeless. Me and best pal still randomly sing snippets on site at work. Crazy how Brent stuff just pops in your head. "Just wanna be popular as the new boss love me pathetic
Doc Brown, the rapper in this video would have no doubt collaborated with the song writing. He's a Stand Up comedian that incorporates Raps into his routine. Doc Brown "Slang 101" or "Proper Tea" are worth a watch, he was also on a series of Taskmaster (same series that had Joe Wilkinson which i believed you've watched some of)
@@AfterWorkReactions To avoid confusion the video with the bloopers is called "the making of Equality Street" and the sort of making of Equality Street is called "The Return of Brent"
Nice one Josh, I've not seen this in years, forgot how good a wee tune it is. I love reggae, and the 'biddly biddly biddly biddly bom' always makes me think of Musical Youths 'Pass the Dutchie' 😂💛🏴
Recommendation ::::::::: The other guy in this video is a comedian called doc brown. I recommended a long time ago his rap called 'proper tea'. He performs it on the Russell howard show which i think is his best version. You could even watch his whole section on the russell howard show as his comedy generally is great. When i saw ricky gervais stand up live, doc brown was his support act.
Good old Ricky - legend. Went to see the office movie at cinema with a Q&A after with Ricky and two others from the cast including the rapper. Ended up meeting Sam from game of thrones there and got a pic haha
Mate, you've got to watch The UK Office. Ricky Gervais' genius right there and what made him what he is today! Absolutely brilliant, pure cringe!! Also Learn Guitar with David Brent is pretty funny. Keep up the great work.
Josh, have you seen the UK Office? This is David Brent from that series, he was trying to be a music star, this video was done around the last "Office" series which was just Brent doing crappy gigs. If you've never seen the UK Office you NEED to watch it, that's where it all started. 2:47 The fk is that dance move?! Hahahahaha Like a supersonic walking frame! The other guy was in "Derek", another of Ricky's series you should watch, you watched the bloopers before.
Probably mentioned by others. This from the Soundtrack for David Brent: Life on the Road film. About Ricky's Office character after the series ended. One of the best albums I've brought in the past 10 year. Ricky was in the music biz for a short while when he was younger.
He did all these music videos because David Brent, the character, always wanted to make it as a singer/songwriter. Ricky released an entire album of material called 'Life on the Road' to coincide with the movie of the same name (Brent's life after 'The Office', trying to make it as a star). Both the movie & album are great. Also, he did more music material on his channel called 'Learn Guitar With David Brent' based around short guitar teaching comedy sketches. All of that may be worth your time.
I've seen Ricky say a bunch of times that he loves people posting his stuff in whatever way they like, so hopefully he's told whoever manages his channel to go along with that.
Watch movie called David Brent,on the road again...its him and other guy in the video as the main characters..I'm assuming they made this song about the time the movie came out
The song came out in 2013, the Life on the Road movie was 2016. The film is a sequel to the TV series based on the same character called The Office. There was a US remake, but the UK version is better and smarter comedy, and the original of course.
Also, he wrote a whole album of music as the Brent character for the sequel movie Life on the Road. Not as great as the series, but still worth a watch for some chuckles!
A peter kay interview you reacted too the other day reminded me of ,Freddie Starr and Mohammad Ali on Parkinson, I would love to see you react to that.
Its time for The Michell and Webb clips. Made by the people from Peep show, im sure you will enjoy. Try "That Mitchell and Webb Look: Homeopathic A&E"!
I've been subbed for about a year now man, Great honest reactions. You should watch the full father Ted "racist " episode if you can it's fantastic. All the best from the U.K. mate. PEACE!

Those little "see that" nods and points are SO david brent haha - you should watch some more Office UK stuff
I will check out more clips if I can man I know clips from the office get blocked.
@@AfterWorkReactions ah okay mate makes sense! No worries
Funny story - I was talking some nonsense the other night, and my boyfriend actually gave that look to my dog - like 'are you hearing this shit?' 😂
@@Kazza_8240 Your story was funny - it made me laugh! Thanks!

The face ricky pulled when the gay guys kissed absolutely kills me every time 😂😂 great reaction as always
makadeni123 I have no idea what you’re talking about 🙄
LOL that face was hilarious =] Thanks man.
@@AfterWorkReactions bit disrespectful laughing at this is serious music, Josh, with a serious message about equality an all
😂👍

Then Extras, just because it's awesome.
I will check it out soon man thank you and stay safe =]
@@AfterWorkReactions Seriously tho....you gotta start with The origonal Office ASAP BRA
@@AfterWorkReactions The Character is "David Brent" no one knew Ricky Gervais back then. He's not Ricky in this.
After Work Reactions no worries! You too pal! :)
My favourite line: "And dwarves aren't babies, you can't just pick them up, they've got rights, and don't assume you could, they're not light.
Or, the rapper to the two gay guys: "let's be friends, but just friends!" Classic Brent line.
"Lady Gypsy" is another one from the 20 song (yes, twenty) album that he did. Good video for that too.
This!!
I will check it out man thank you =]
After Work Reactions he was a singer in a band in the early 80’s “before he made it” they were called Seona dancing 😁
It's actually a nice wee song, my mum likes it 😂
Another great song is "Please Don't Make Fun of the Disableds."

Love David Brent! Have you see the British Office??
This is one of the few songs that I know off by heart, and I love it
Please please please watch the office uk so you can appreciate brent at his best
Maybe try the original UK office.
The original Office. I dont think another office has been made in the UK
I might try some clips but but I know the show gets blocked =/
@@AfterWorkReactions Use Daily Motion right?
This reaction video always puts me in a good mood

Aka Ben Bailey Smith.
That's awesome bro, I will check both of those out soon. Stay safe =]
Ahhh I recommended this ☺👍🏻 thanks matey xx
No prob thanks bro =]
Lady Gypsy is my favorite Brent song coz it sounds like a genuine good folk music.
Totally agree with everyone else about the office uk. You would totally get it and love it
Your laugh had me in stitches, holy shit!
That’s Doc Brown with Ricky, his Proper Tea and Slang 101 stand up clips are well worth a watch
This! Doc Brown is really funny.
Gotta agree its unreal doc brown is so underrated and funny af give it a go pls
You should watch. Four lions. It’s a very funny film.
one of the funniest film ever.
Four Lions should have been way more popular than it was.
Yay, love this!!!
Just wanted to say thank you for the amount of content you post and how regularly you post. Fantastic work

Doc Brown "Slang 101" or "Proper Tea" are worth a watch, he was also on a series of Taskmaster (same series that had Joe Wilkinson which i believed you've watched some of)
I went to Ricky's Humanity stand up and Doc Brown opened for him. He's also the drug dealer in series 3 of the Inbetweeners.
Doc Brown (His real name escapes me) is indeed mentioned in the song credits in the cd booklet.
That sounds hilarious, I will check it out soon =]
I really enjoy your laugh...it makes your videos ten times better 🤣
Quality Street is a classic British Christmas chocolate box (actually a tin) :) Hence the song title's origin
The making of this and bloopers are even better
I will check those out man thank you =]
@@AfterWorkReactions To avoid confusion the video with the bloopers is called "the making of Equality Street" and the sort of making of Equality Street is called "The Return of Brent"

This is brilliant.
Another great one is called " don't make fun of the disableds "
Josh, suggestions are Meet Karl Pilkington 2, Karl predicts black mirror and Karl ricky and warrick MSN interview about an idiot abroad 3
Great suggestions!!!😉❤😉
Definitely the black mirror stuff
I will add those those to my list man thank you =]
David Brent is one of the best characters ever created! You need to watch the UK office, only 2 seasons but its brilliant from start to finish!

Should do his Learn Guitar episode where he teaches "Ain't No Trouble". Banger
Heyyyy thanks bro that was quick!
I hope Ricky sees this video, I bet he'd love it.
great reaction josh

You should check out Brents version of 'If You Don't Know Me By Now'..Classic
I will check it out man =]
Other music video from the same film; Please Don't Make Fun Of The Disableds by David Brent (Ricky Gervais)
ylvis, massachusetts - just wonderful
I will check it out man =]
It started with KP, but seeing how much Ricky’s humor and mannerisms make Josh laugh, I’d love to see a reaction series to The Office UK!
Could you react to Please Don't Make Fun Of The Disableds by David Brent
(Ricky gervais)
I recommend, "Billy Conolly on a plane to Austrailia"
I'd pay to have Office UK reactions!
He did all these music videos because David Brent, the character, always wanted to make it as a singer/songwriter.

His folk song video in the woods about a gypsy girl is sooooooooo good. Ha.
I have added it to my list bro =]
The other guy rapping is called Doc Brown and he has some funny raps that he does in a stand up comedy set
1:25
I've seen Ricky say a bunch of times that he loves people posting his stuff in whatever way they like, so hopefully he's told whoever manages his channel to go along with that.
Biiiiiiddly-biiiddly-biiiiddly-biiiddly-biiiiddly-bong
Any publicity is good publicity
🇬🇧 UK Favourite tin of chocolate selection called Quality Street. Normally for Christmas 🎉
Definitely gotta watch the uk office. I've seen a few people recommend the show.
The other guy is comedian and rapper Doc Brown. He's got some good stuff.

Now you have to watch Life on the Road...
Biddly bong?
Definitely.
You'll love the original Office if you enjoyed this haha
Also, he wrote a whole album of music as the Brent character for the sequel movie Life on the Road. Not as great as the series, but still worth a watch for some chuckles!
Doc Brown - My Proper Tea. The guy who is rapping another one that you need to check!
An thats why, the problem is so much smaller over here my friend 😍
Even people from Luxembourg :)
You should check out some of Doc Brown's stand up. He's the rapper in the video with Ricky
A peter kay interview you reacted too the other day reminded me of ,Freddie Starr and Mohammad Ali on Parkinson, I would love to see you react to that.
Thanks for the recommendation bro I will check it out =]
Think he has one called "gipsy" too lol check it out.
Definitely check out The Office UK
Ricky use to be in a band years ago ,he's even had a band recently who done a tour can't think of their name .
Watch Brent the movie it's funny .
There’s a ‘making of’ this video somewhere 😉
Its time for The Michell and Webb clips. Made by the people from Peep show, im sure you will enjoy. Try "That Mitchell and Webb Look: Homeopathic A&E"!
What kind of music do you like? I’d like to recommend music for you
David Brent - Lady Gypsy & if you don’t know me by now (genius)
Loved this! Doc Brown is brilliant, maybe you could check out his song about tea!
Doc brown makes an appearance in the inbetweeners
Ricky was a pop "star" in the 80s he was in a group called Shauna dancing i think he had a song in the UK top 40 charts.
Siona Dancing

At some point I hope you will watch the entire series of The Office or Derek ... for me they are the two best things Ricky has written
I've been subbed for about a year now man, Great honest reactions. You should watch the full father Ted "racist " episode if you can it's fantastic. All the best from the U.K. mate. PEACE!
Doc Brown is a good rapping comedian. You should check out Doc Brown Comedy Rocks, or a couple of shorter clips Proper Tea or the Slang one.
Do a reaction to “Doc Brown” on Russel Howard. Honestly. Fell in love with this guy because of it.
If you don't know me by now. By David Brent
Dude, you gotta watch the UK office and the David Brent movie. Even if you can't react It will give you a lot of context of the Brent character.
You’d have enjoyed that so much more if you watch Brent in the Office
