Just realised Gervais has called the young stud of the office guy who gets the girl in the end Ricky.... Suddenly the office takes on a whole new level when you realise that.
Haha just noticed when gareth finds the stapler in jelly, the sign on the wall with drivers on it and Neil is spelled wrong it says Niel 😂 i have literally watched this programme 100s of times and still find it hilarious, Ricky Gervais is a literal Genius.
just little easily missable details like that is what makes the office great. I put Alan partridge mid morning matters up there with the office because you notice something different every time you watch it
They have to have added an extra mic to the paper in certain scenes because when Brent’s fiddling with the paper out of discomfort it is absolutely golden 😂😂😂😂😂
The bit where he pretends to fire Dawn is too much even for me. Ive built up a very high resistance to cringe but its too much i have to skip it every time. Thats talent.
imagine being in school ,leaving school to work and dress like school but just adding booze and a driving license 😂and these companies actually hold interviews to start
It's amazing how polite and affable the new temp was and he had respect for Brent initially but just very quickly lost all respect for him and then ended up calling him and finch sad little men. 😂
I remember stumbling across this by accident one evening. Was drawn in straight away and pretty much know every episode off by heart! The US version just doesn't do it for me i'm afraid. Loved Extra's too and just look how far many of the actors have come since the Office. Extra's is definitely worth a watch, I can't believe he convinced the celebs to say the lines they did. Ricky deserves an OBE - his integrity is second to none and I love the way he bashed the celebs at the awards, he was right and just look at how well it has aged and will age again - I can go on . . .too late I already have!!!!
I worked with an upper class Brent. He asked me if there really was a north/south class divide in the UK. He really was a kind man underneath his incredible inability to overcome his snobbery.
The man has an innate ability to make you cringe, even if you have seen it before. That 'interview' with Karen Roper, from the moment of him sitting on the corner of the desk to the point of him hiring her, I had my hands on my face and just repeating - no , no, no.
Possibly but a lot of the Brent mannerisms are all Ricky and it’s just so well done. Also merchant hasn’t been great individually let’s be honest @@MrArchie800
16:53 you can tell Tim was genuinely corpsing (breaking character by laughing) when David did the “exsperminate” bit with the inflatablecock (Dr Who villains called the Darliks who like similar to R2D2 just with a tank like cannon/gun on their heads and they say “exterminate”)
Nothing that it's also horrible bullying of Brent by his "good mate" Chris Finch who dominates and demeans him at any opportunity If Brent was smart he'd have reported him right there. But he was too under his thrall
To me the best thing about this series is that in the process of portraying David Brent trying and failing miserably to adapt to the new politically correct world, it became one of the very last politically incorrect comedies. The rapid change regarding what is 'allowed' is something everyone over a certain age can relate to. And as the western world becomes more and more insanely censored, the appreciation for his character grows. It really is timeless.
Good points Jamie. I was listening to the old radio show of Ricky Steve and Karl the other day and lamenting to myself that they’d never get away with it today. Someone somewhere would have shut it down. It’s sad where we’re all headed.
How can it be politically incorrect if it's doing it on purpose to parody people like that. Politically correct doesn't mean stop making jokes about races, disabilities etc it's about context. If you're making fun of the guy saying the insensitive racist remarks then it's politically correct.
I love that Guy's Face When David Says " don't be fooled by their Job description, they're all mad, Especially that one he's mental😂😂that guy's reaction! 0:05 - 0:15😂😂 Not literally obviously that wouldn't work,last place you someone like that is in accounts😂😂

Tim asking dawn out "as a friend" is the most cringe moment out of both series and the xmas specials
Been watching this show for over a decade and only just noticed Gareth's lunch box is a British Army mess tin.
Fun fact: The janitor type chap who appeared once briefly holding some paper roles is Stephen Merchant's father doing a cameo.
The fella who stares into the camera?? That bit still kills me
@@Panch21 yep that's the one 🙂
Actually resembles him.
"so what's a goblin?"

He had a falling-out with Stephen Merchant. Now we know who the real comedy powerhouse of that duo was.
Just think if Jeff hadn't been fired by David, how much better Mark's life would have been.
We'd all be reading Business Secrets Of The Pharaohs
JEFF?!
@lifeisaREDTIDE and if you watch that show you'll notice the main character, Mark, says "JEFF?!" on a regular basis.
It's a running joke.
Whoever plays Finch gets his menacing side perfectly …
Deliberately the most repulsive character …
The best British comedy show ever.
Well.... Certainly up there but my money on & officially it is *"Fawlty Towers."* 👍
