good point, he's self conscious about the fact he is fat and yet he' s oblivious to the fact he's showing how self conscious he is by making such a fuss about it instead of ignoring it.
Yes Sam, I know it's personal taste/opinion but I agree this is definitely some of the best and sharpest comedy I've ever seen and I've been studying, analysing, and enjoying comedy for forty years. There is however (in my opinion) some stuff that operates at the same level. There may even be aspects of some of the below mentioned comedy that eclipses The Office (U.K.). Check out: Sacha Baron Cohen's work (e.g. Ali G, Bruno, Borat, Ricky Sherman, Dr. Nira Cain-N’Degeocello). Chris Lilley's work (e.g. We Can Be Heroes, Angry Boys, Summer Heights High, Lunatics). Nathan Fielder's work (Nathan For You). To a much lesser consistent level, but with flashes at absolute genius that (at its highest peak) reaches the above levels: Check out: Asim Chaudhry's work (e.g. Chabuddy G). Steve Coogan's work as Alan Partridge (e.g. notably Mid-Morning Matters).
"At least start with him, and then move on to me" hahahahaha love this show. Although some references I don't quite understand since I live across the pond, but still very funny.
This is not the first time you’ve failed to understand something. It’s not the first time this week. If you continue to not understand, you and I are going to have a very serious chat.
I love Gareth's little hand gesture as he says 'Swindon lot don't seem to respect you'. Also 2:25 might be the most perfectly timed and comedically effective "zoom out" in a comedy programme. I nearly shat myself when I first saw that I was laughing so hard.
You used to call Malcolm Kojack. That was affectionate. Yes it definitely was. Is Mr Toad affectionate. No it's definitely not. Kojack was a famous character played by a rather famous actor Terry Savalas. Toad is the ugliest creature. Big difference between Kojack and Mr Toad.
Just don't have a go at the eyes, cos that is a stigmatism I've had from the age of five, so that's what make them a bit bulbous, so don't just... I didn't call you the whale-man or like blubber-man!!!
Nah he doesn't just want to be liked, he's full of himself. He wants to be the best and everyone to think he's brilliant. Wants to be the centre of attention. An egotistical narcissist.
@@mrfish9876 Yes but that's all the result of him wanting to be liked, loved, and accepted deep down. He's so insecure from the obvious lack of affectionate and positive interpersonal relationships he has that he exudes egotistical characteristics. We see the real brent on two occasions towards the end of the series, when he begs for his job and then when he finally tells finchy to fuck off. Already he seems to mature and grow after just one positive interaction where someone actually seems to care for him and like him.
"theyve given you a nickname.." "What is it? "Bluto" "the villian from popeye? because of the earring?" "No because.." "WHATS THAT?! " Brilliant hahaha
lol i'm back on this video two years later, and was wondering who replied to this comment. It was me! I'm back. This was the most memorable line in this scene for me.
Keith's indifference is just brilliant
"I'll show you how to roll with the punches"
*Has instant meltdown*
Mackenzie's "Daviiiiid.." is so perfect
Reminds me of his character in POTC
Such an amazing actor. He's sublime in the dectorists.
@@Mayaman67 Agreed. That was a fantastic show!
@@Mayaman67 He's not my favourite actor of all time, though. My favourite actor of all time is Mr Sidney Poitier.
“Leroy” 😂 The way they portray Gareth is hilarious.
Where’s Leroy come from
@@cartmanofsp he's the coloured fella from fame
@@cartmanofspHe’s gay
Now that was an expert demonstration of how to roll with the punches.
🤣
Water off a ducks back
@J Ygb that's the joke you spoon
@J Ygb err yeah exactly…
Well done. You got it.
LOL. Big Keith totally unfazed.
Best character.
@@ScoopMeisterGeneral lol doesn't even stop chewing his gum
@@ScoopMeisterGeneral He guarantees every women at least one orgasm.
Love Big Keith
@@rosiek1990 like that.....ahhhhhh.....nggggh ngggh nggggh
A brilliant mixture of total self awareness and total lack of self awareness...
self consciousness you mean plus lack of etc
identification with mind that is
good point, he's self conscious about the fact he is fat and yet he' s oblivious to the fact he's showing how self conscious he is by making such a fuss about it instead of ignoring it.
"I didn't want ya here....but you're here now, welcome" Fucking genius
“Well done.”
To think the whole debacle started with Brent asking Gareth to "throw some insults at him and I'll teach you how to roll with the punches" 😂😂😂😂😂
And he collapsed and got knocked out at the very first baby punch 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
David Brent was a brilliant creation by Ricky Gervais. Such a jerk.
Wow! Very observant of you. You must be great fun at parties.
@@boogie4943That’s not how that phrase works buddy.
@@cardrop33 Whoosh!
It's only when you look back at clips, you remember how good it was.
Big Keith was rolling with the punches.
It’s just a wonderful, wonderful comedy show and I suspect it may never be beaten.

@@Rusitii Laughable opinion.
"nicknames are bad...names." that bit is so awesome.
I always loved how David's voice increased in pitch at 'Look at him!'
"At least start with him, and then move on to me" hahahahaha love this show. Although some references I don't quite understand since I live across the pond, but still very funny.
David Stewart - what references don't you get, David?
Mr Toad also lives across the pond.

+JonBonDonegan The coloured fella?
mmmmmjenkins

Where's Leroy come from?
JENKINSSS
"Fatty fatty toad boy".....it's just brilliant comedy acting at its best ,it seems to put all our inner insecurities into comedy gold..I love it .
"I didn't want you here! - so *well done* " - he says it like two parents who say to their child you were an accident - lool
"at least start on him..." amaze
"Swindon lot don't seem to respect you"
He failed to roll with that punch
I still say it to my brother sometimes
This show gets funnier and more genius every time i revisit it
It does
"The toad is the ugliest of all the amphibians" 😂😂
There's the face again!
Fatty fatty Toad boy.

''Mr. toad ... I can't...'' lmfao
lmaooo
The fact that Gareth's mind jumps to Leroy, the coloured fella off of Fame kills me
Ah. That's racist.
@@TonyEnglandUK 😂😂
OP, how do you know Gareth was thinking the black guy from Fame?
Hmm feel like I should tell ya that coloured isn't ok anymore. Times change
@@Fxyknxy23did you watch the series ?
Mackenzie Crook is a first class actor!
Jack Cox have seen detectorists mate? He is amazing in that
Almost like kojak
He’s absolutely brilliant
Leroy so random love it.
"I didn't want you here, but you're here now, so, you know... well done."
The Mr Toad demonstration is just outstanding made me laugh so much
Martin Freeman (Tim) almost breaks character when that dance happens, that's how good it is.
1:12 David! 🤣🤣🤣
"I'm not going to be wearing the shoes, am I" [Brilliant]
I love David, you can't help feeling bad for him, all he wants is to be accepted and liked but he tries too hard and ends up coming across as an idiot
Just don't have a go at the eyes, cos that is a stigmatism I've had from the age of five, so that's what make them a bit bulbous, so don't just... I didn't call you the whale-man or like blubber-man!!!

@@earzy9729 In the same episode he tells Finchy the f off he's really rude to his blind date because he doesn't think she's good enough for him.
I swear to god this is the funniest scene ever
‘At least START on him…’
😆
One of the best pieces of art ever created
I love how Brent's voice gets high pitched when he's upset
Anyone notice when he insults Big Keith, Keith ironically doesnt actually give any shits unlike David lol
Difficult to phase a man who watches Peak Practice.
Might be the best scene in the whole show
"I'm not gonna be wearing the shoes am I!?..."
"Are you gunna be wearing the earring?"
@@Goochbot 'What they're having a go at that as well are they''?
''There's the face again!''
classic!
What -
Haha, this series really is genius. Never gets old. Can watch it again and again.
Keith: Zed fucks given.
I love how Gareth stands behind David like a sulking school boy
0:22 “Where’s Leroy come from” hahaha
Ouch. Works on multiple levels. Beautiful bit of writing.
"theyve given you a nickname.."
"What is it?
"Bluto"
"the villian from popeye? because of the earring?"
"No because.."
"WHATS THAT?! " Brilliant hahaha
"The Toad is the ugliest of all the amphibians"......pure poetry.
“”But names will never hurt me” 😆
The great thing about this show is that there is no canned laughter
Canned laughter ruins shows. Alan Partridge would have been so much funnier.
@@chadwickmcfaggins9734 Alan Partridge is a rare exception to the rule.
"...you know I didn't want you here, but you're here now so, well done. Welcome"
Body fascism XD
I like your body.
"and he's got gal-lar-sis" lol
the toad impression, i am dying ahahahahahahaha 😂😂
I met someone at my new job called Leroy and nearly burst out laughing thinking of this clip 😂😂
Was he colored fella?
@@raminybhatti5740 No that was Oliver. Say Afro British or Afro Carribean.
You know at least start on him and then move on...
2:28 the way he says it lol
And he's got glasses .
the deep process of looking up and saying 'nick names are... bad names'. Deep man
It's the 'nicknames are... bad... names' bit that cracks me up. It's like he can't even begin to articulate what his point is.
The writing is absolute Genius
"Nicknames are bad names. They are not helpful, yeah?"
Best bit of comments here are observant intelligent people who appreciateto notch scripts and acting , classic situations...this is so good !
Never got The Office at first glance but the more I rewind the better it gets...
0:44 "They're not gonna know that, and it's not true" great example of what Brent knows and what he pretends to believe
That stare he gives Keith at 02.39, don't know how he managed to keep a straight face. That must've needed a few takes
From what I’ve seen of Gervais, that could’ve taken dozens of attempts 😂
You can tell he was about to lose it at the end. How they keep a straight face is amazing.
Brent quipped “nicknames are bad names yeah”
So hilarious. 'What's that...' killed me.
Nicknames are...baaad, names. Yeah?
hahaaha
lol i'm back on this video two years later, and was wondering who replied to this comment. It was me! I'm back. This was the most memorable line in this scene for me.
He was a great detective and a fine actor.
This is the point where I begin to die inside
Probably the best series ever released on TV 📺
Alan Partridge?
A prime example of how to roll with the punches
I still come back to this scene again and again. One of the funniest moments in British comedy 😂😂😂
"Body Fascism"...love that!!!!
***** The US version is like a Ben Stiller movie, it totally misses the mark that the UK version set up.
Alpha Delta they're both hilarious. Just different styles
totally agree
not trying to hit that mark. it made it's own.
What, what? Which UK mark was Ben Stiller trying to hit? Your analogy is like a Trump comment, it totally misses the mark that reality set up.
Yep. US one is watchable but not great.
I love how Dawn is looking on at 2:05. She was absolutely stunning.
This is a hilarious clip. Expertly done!
Ricky is such a good actor a fact that many seem to overlook.
I f$$%%^ing loved this show
'Not to me.....its like water off a ducks back'
'Fatty fatty toad boy...at least start on him'
Leroy....the coloured guy 🤣
I'm on a binge ..but have to stop now! ...I'm getting side intercostal cramps from too much laughing!🙏🏼😬😅
I'll show you how to roll with the punches . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Keith rolled with the punches.
Telly's Daughter is a member of Post Modern Jukebox where they do amazing interpretations of Pop Songs.
I lost it at "Leroy" :D
‘WHERES LEROY COME FROM?’ 😂😂😂😂
RIP Leroy. Died in 2003 aged 41. 😥
''What else'' 😂 i'm dead - plus ''Well you're here now, so...''
I'm not surprised the Brent went into TV. After this documentary I doubt anybody would have hired him as a manager again.
Brilliant camera work on this
2:17 Ricky gave birth to _Body/fat shamming_ conversation. The irony 🤣
Mr toad, I cant 😂😂😂😂😂
Swindon lot don't seem to respect you 😂😂😂😂
Rachel’s reaction at 1:34 😂
Fatty fatty toad boy’s reaction (or lack of) is HILARIOUS 😂😂
'That WAS AFFECTIONATE!!!'
Rolling with the punches lol
Water off a ducks back
“Body fascism “then starts insulting the fat guy with glasses
Keith's just stood there chewing gum as always!
He was a great detective and a fine actor!
I never picked up on that! Hilarious 🤣🤣🤣
Fkng brilliant!!!
