anyone been watching?? made me cringe all the way through it, where he was telling the joke about the Black mans cock, too too much. very very good, a programme that makes you feel totally embaressed all the way through. |
||||||||
|

It's excellent. Easy to draw parallels between it and my workplace... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yep it was great! The best bits arent even jokes, just expressions and mannerisms that make you crack up |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
deffo, i think thats why it makes me cringe so much, its too true to life, scary. |

My favourite bit was when Brent walked past his a-jar door to his office, then realised the camera was there. Then he gave a little smile and backed back out of sight.... HAHA ahhh. (sigh) |

Ello Chri5py! I'm off to Lau Gar this thursday, how's your training (and life in general) going? |
||||||||
|

|
|
Is this a reality show, or a sitcom? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Sitcom. It's a satire of office life. Very accurate and cutting :) |
||||||||
|
|

haven't heard of it |

VERY funny... award winning comedy... not sure how well it would travel across the atlantic though... whatcha reckon phiz? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

i work for an American company and the way they work is different but theres alot of similarities. i dont think it would travel well, it's VERY English. the whole embrassment thing is VERY English also, maybe cos of English society we cringe so much, i'd say the English feel alot more embaraasment in general to the Americans, alot of Americans really dont give a shit if they look like a cunt or not. |

I potentially contraversial point well made phiz! |

I missed the last episode but it's so good. I used to work at a BT call centre and it was JUST like that even down to the creepy assistant and assesments every 2 weeks. Great prog but I can't see it working in the US, it's far too specific. Dunno though i'd like to find out.. |
||||||||

I like when the bloke (can't remeber name) mentions weed and says "you know what i'm on about" to the blake bloke. Exellent! |

ricky gervais is brilliant. great series. |

"i saw her first"...*indicates own eyes then points |
||||||||

|
|
Yeah, that cracked me up. It's the only good thing about mondays :) |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
we've all been there i think. brilliant show. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
anyone catch it last night, brilliant stuff. when he was giving the motivational talk, i was proper embarassed, too much. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

He's a great comic actor and might even have the edge on Steve Coogan; he's more subtle. The one where he was talking to that black guy about Denzel Washington and Sidney Poitier killed me. Reminded me of the time I was on a bus in Nottingham and this cockney geezer statrts talking to this Asian guy about India. He kept saying "Yeah, Iget on with the Indians". "I knew this geezer called ------. now what part would he be from?". I was pissing myself. |

urgh...what's happened to the office??? i sat through thewhole episode w/o laughing almost at all : / the 2nd series seems more cringewrothy and less funny, uncomfortable viewing |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yep, my flatmates and I watch it religiously. The speech was awful... my mate reckons it's building up for a nervous breakdown for mr. Brent in the last episode of the series. I don't think he cares enough too though... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think thats whats great about it, the way you just sit there cringing all the way through. were the lad caught the other two getting stuck into eachother, and he goes "whats goin on here then?" and he rags the lad for copping off with a bird that he fancies, marvellous. |
||||||||
|

Quality show. I love the way it's so naturally acted. The bit where (insert name here) catches those two kissing and starts going off at them about how he was more attractive. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm not too keen on the new series - oh yeah it's still really funny (last nights episode with brent running out of the door after his 'gig' was fucking mint) but i don't think it's half a subtle as the first series. Brent is no longer a believable person, if it were real life he'd probably have been committed/sacked long ago, so the whole documentary theme goes out of the window... spoils it a bit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I know what you mean about it being less believable. My flatmate continually points this out whilst watching it, "He's too much of a joker, he doesn't do any work, he'd get sacked for that, etc." I agree that the first one was a lot "better", but in all honsty I laugh at the new one just as much. The bit where he was laughing hysterically in his talk had me (rather ironically) in stiches. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i love the 2nd series, i've cried with laughter at it and hid behind my hands for the cringy bits! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
don't forget, the time span that the two shows cover is only a few months, and since the people from the other branch moved in only a matter of days, so he probably willl get the sack, HA HA! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that must spoil watching it somewhat, having someone around who is constantly criticizing it... i missed it dammit but i was watching the sopranos, so that's a good excuse i'd say :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
He doesn't do it all the time, just a couple of times and episode :) The same guy likes the sopranos... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Tough choice, but I'd go with the Sopranos. But of course, they are different things. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
when he got bollocked by the new boss and went 'ooh, think you're hard do you in front of the camera' |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, bit unrealistic, but you do get some really disobediant people like that who step out of line :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah and he didn't say it with much conviction.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
too much last night, after they offered him redundancy and he got up from behind his desk in the Bernie Clifton Ostrich, never laughed so much :O) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Was very funny. Finchey's predictable gag with the £1 a kiss was amusing as was Brent grabbing the disabled woman's wheelchair. Gareth's mates were great too :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeh, where his mate ran off going "i didnt call you fatty" and they were all just stood there, a couple of moments like that, just the silence, great stuff |
