More David Brent

Post by Doin »

Ricky Gervais and Steve Merchant, creators of The Office, were asked by Microsoft UK to produce a parody training video.

It comes in two parts - one 20 minutes, the other 17.

Enjoy....

The US version is actually really, really good from the second series. You can see the pressure lift off them.

Did you see Ricky on the Simpsons a few weeks back? I don't think I've ever seen someone do awkward so well as the guy. Not even in real life. The Simpsons writers knew exactly how to handle him.

I love the US version, I'll have to check out the UK version, but if its like other UK versions of shows (original or not) then I have my expectation set low :P
